October is here, which means if you haven’t been thinking about Halloween already it’s time to start now! The weather is getting cooler and if you love the creepy, supernatural, or other aspects of the holiday there’s no reason to wait until the 31st or a Halloween event to show you love this season.

Geek fashion offers so many options these days that you don’t need to wear a costume to show you’re excited for the holiday. You can choose from a range of apparel and accessories inspired by fitting fandoms you love to have a bit of the Halloween spirit with you any day! Two of the best places to look for options are Hot Topic and Torrid, which have recently released collections that are a perfect fit.

From Disney Villains to classic horror films, here are six collections that are worth checking out!

Socialize with some grim grinning ghosts in style this month with the new Haunted Mansion Her Universe collection at Hot Topic. The line was created in honor of the 50th anniversary of The Haunted Mansion Disney ride. From the characters to the wallpaper, this apparel for foolish mortals takes inspiration from all different aspects of the classic ride. Whether it’s a button-up top or a long-sleeve dress, you can decide exactly how much of the haunted atmosphere you want to bring with you in your day-to-day life.

Classic horror movie buffs can decide how subtle or obvious they want to be displaying their passion for their favorite films with this collection. There are dresses, leggings, tops, and more for fans of Beetlejuice, Friday the 13th, The Shining, A Nightmare on Elm Street, It, and other films.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Harry Potter fans don’t have to be generic about the magical, witchy part of Halloween. You can get specific about exactly which witches and wizards you’re channeling in your style! Choose which House you’re a part of with one of Hot Topic’s sweaters, cardigans, hoodie cloaks, or skirts. Or add just a touch of general Potter specific magic to your outfit with earrings, socks, or other accessories.

Disney Villains

Want to be a part of the upside down instead? There are a lot of fashionable items at Hot Topic for fans of Netflix’s supernatural horror show Stranger Things. Hoodies, T-shirts, and more offer ways to casually, or in a more everyday cosplay way, show a connection to the series.
