The animated Netflix hit has inspired a costume craze that’s sweeping the nation – including our great state – faster than a viral dance challenge. According to Google’s Frightgeist report, all five of the most-searched costumes for 2025 are characters from the film, with Rumi, Mira, and Zoey of the fictional girl group HUNTR/X leading the charge.

The film’s blend of K-pop glam, supernatural action, and cultural celebration has struck a chord—plus it is a pretty simple costume compared to a dinosaur, alien or a monster carrying a trick or treater. Costume aisles are packed with glittery jackets, glowing swords, and enough attitude to banish a small army of evil spirits.

Beware: The Curse of the Popular Costume

Before you sprint to Spirit Halloween, a word of caution: when you pick the year’s most popular costume, you might find yourself in a sea of lookalikes. Just ask Dave’s granddaughter, who showed up to a neighborhood party dressed as Spider-Man—only to discover she was only one in a crowd of super spiders.

It was a little less “Into the Spider-Verse” and more “Where’s Waldo in red spandex?”

So, if you’re planning to go full Rumi this year, prepare to meet your mirror image at every doorstep. The silver lining? If enough of you show up, you might just have the numbers to take on Gwima, the film’s shadowy villain. Strength in sparkly numbers, right?
