Netflix is jumping into the Halloween merchandise game with both feet this year, making costumes and collectibles available in multiple locations. If you and your family love K-Pop Demon Hunters and / or Stranger Things, you are in luck!
Costumes, accessories, and “Trunk or Treat” displays for K-Pop Demon Hunters are available through outlets such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon.
Items available include adult and kid costumes for the characters of Mira, Rumi, Zoey, Jinu, and Derpy, trick or treat buckets, an inflatable Derpy costume, a wearable Derpy head, a Derpy pet costume, and a Trunk or Treat display. Spirit Halloween also has its own selection of costumes and costume accessories, and Funko POP! is getting in on the game with a series of collectible figures.
K-Pop Demon Hunters has been a huge smash hit for Netflix since its release in June of 2025. In fact, by the end of 2025, it had become the most-watched original title in the history of Netflix, totaling over 325 million views. It was so popular that a sing-along version of the film was given a theatrical release.
Since the storyline involves an all-female K-pop group called Huntrix, there was naturally a soundtrack released, and that was also a hit. Four of the songs were in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, and the album eventually went double platinum in the United States.
The song Golden won Golden Globe and Academy awards, and there is currently a sequel being worked on. With its catchy music, engaging characters, and positive story message, K-Pop Demon Hunters was not only popular with kids, but also adults and critics alkie.
Another big hit for Netflix was the series Stranger Things. The New York Times’ Brandon Yu referred it as “an original universe that is charming, funny and artfully punchy.”
Netflix series Stranger Things also sports a Halloween vibe
It is of course not the only big hit series for Netflix; Stranger Things came before it, and viewers followed it for the entirety of its five seasons. The first season released in 2016, so the seasons were definitely stretched out over time, but viewers kept tuning in to follow the goings-on in Hawkensville.
The spooky, ET/Goonies vibe was well maintained, and the characters of Will, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven, Steve, Nancy, Jonathan, Joyce, and Hopper were beloved. Other characters joined the cast in later seasons, and the various creatures that set up shot in Hawkinsville gave the story a spooky touch.
Funko POP! is releasing a selection of “split” collectible figures for Stranger Things that includes Barb, Eleven, Hopper, and Will. Each figure is designed to be half regular character, and half how that character appears in the Upside Down. The figures can be ordered through Funko POP!
