'Squid Game' Halloween costume ideas that'll ensure victory in the costume contest
These 'Squid Game' Halloween costumes will be the talk of the 2021 party, trust us!


Squid Game Halloween costumes are essentially a no-brainer for 2021. Not only does the Korean drama's colorful wardrobe segue into easy Halloween costumes for adults—they serve major looks with minimal effort—but the show's popularity begs for an IRL detective Jun Ho and Kang Sae-Byeok at your October 31st get-together.
Whether you opt to be a player, guard or even the Red Light, Green Light doll, there are plenty of looks that perfectly nod to the Netflix sensation. With ensembles that might convince friends you're an extra on the show, there's no way you'll be eliminated from the top costume contest contenders. (If only Squid Game players didn't have to worry about elimination...)
