Pop Culture Meets the Paranormal
In today’s world, pop culture is packed with spooky inspiration. From horror movie classics to supernatural superheroes and viral streaming series, Halloween is the perfect excuse to channel the characters that haunt your screen and live in your heart.

Top Halloween Costume Picks for Pop Culture Fans
Here are just a few frighteningly fun categories to explore at Abracadabra NYC—a
Halloween store so legendary, even the ghosts shop here.
Horror Movie Icons
Slashers and scream queens will always be Halloween royalty. Channel your inner Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, or Ghostface with eerily authentic costumes, bloody props, and masks that look like they came straight from the silver screen. Want something a bit newer? Look for trending horror characters from Smile, Terrifier, or M3GAN.
Villains & Antiheroes
Sometimes being bad is just more fun. Tap into your dark side with looks inspired by iconic villains like Harley Quinn, the Joker, Maleficent, or Loki. Abracadabra NYC offers full costume sets, wigs, makeup, and all the wicked accessories you need to complete your evil ensemble.
Witches, Warlocks & Wizardry
From Hogwarts robes to gothic witches with glowing staffs, Halloween is the perfect time to get magical. Dress as characters from Harry Potter, The Witcher, or even craft your own enchanted persona with capes, spell books, and cauldron-ready accessories.
Stranger Things & Sci-Fi Legends
Sci-fi shows and movies continue to be costume gold. Transform into Eleven, Vecna, or a Demogorgon from Stranger Things—or go old-school with aliens, astronauts, and ‘80s sci-fi heroes. Abracadabra’s selection includes both retro and futuristic styles for a space-age Halloween experience.
Zombies & The Undead
Want a costume that never goes out of style? Zombies are always in. Create a custom look with tattered clothes, prosthetics, SFX makeup, and fake blood galore. Whether you’re going full Walking Dead or making your own undead influencer, Abracadabra NYC has everything you need to rise from the grave.
Mashups & Meme-Worthy Moments
Want to get creative and funny with your Halloween look? Try a clever character mashup (like a “Barbie Witch” or “Zombie Ken”) or dress up as your favorite meme or viral moment from the year. You’ll find wigs, props, and customizable accessories to bring your offbeat vision to life.
Makeup, Masks & Accessories: Your Secret Costume Weapon
