Halloween 2025 is shaping up to be the year of creative expression, nostalgia, and bold aesthetics. From over-the-top costumes to glow-in-the-dark party décor, this spooky season is all about making a statement. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party selling your art at a fall market, or looking for fun ways to decorate, we've got everything you need to bring your ideas to life with custom decals and specialty vinyls.

Trending Halloween Costumes & Party Themes for 2025

Every year, new pop culture icons and viral moments inspire the costume lineup. 2025 is no exception. Expect favorite characters from hit streaming shows, nostalgic 2000s throwbacks, and meme-worthy ensembles. 

Sustainability is another big theme this year. DIY costumes are making a comeback as people look to reuse, repurpose, and personalize what they already have. With vinyl decals and stickers, it’s easy to add your own touch—think glowing details, custom names, or eerie embellishments.

Party Theme & Costume Inspiration

  • WickedElphaba and Glinda made waves in all age groups this past year and we are expecting to see these characters trick or treating and singing in establishments all over this Halloween season. For a Wicked themed party use custom decals with song lyrics on cups or neon green stickers in goodie bags.
  • K Pop Demon Hunter – You can expect to see plenty of inspo from the hit Netflix show "Kpop Demon Hunters" this year too. Order custom decals to adorn to  DIY outfits and props to help bring this costume to life.
  • Swiftie Showgirls – With the recent release of Taylor Swift's newest album "The Life of a Showgirl" we are expecting to see A LOT of showgirl themed costumes and parties this year. Order custom orange glitter stickers and decals to decorate your walls, mirrors, and windows for this one, inspired by Swift's album iconic album art.
