As with most cultural phenomena, “Squid Game” has inspired social media memes, think pieces, and virtual watercooler debates. And now, you can dress as your favorite “Squid Game” character for Halloween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We polled 50 U.S.-based consumers<\/a> to find out which “Squid Game” costumes they would most want to wear this Halloween. Even if they didn\u2019t watch the show, they all had opinions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s lift the curtain on the results (no spoilers, we promise).<\/p>\n\n\n Option A: Masked guard (red hooded jumpsuit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option B: Front Man (gold and black hooded parka and black face mask)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option C: Squid Game player (teal tracksuit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option D: Giant robot doll (orange dress)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our respondent panel was 58% male, 40% female, and .02% non-binary, ranging in age from 21-65+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The racial\/ethnic identity breakdown was as follows: 72% White, 12% Hispanic, .08% Asian, .06% Black, and .02% other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 22% of respondents said they hadn\u2019t watched Squid Game at the time of our poll, but that didn’t stop them from voting.<\/p>\n\n\n Option B<\/strong>, aka Front Man \u2014 the mysterious leader of the games \u2014 won our Ranked poll with a final tally of 27 out of 50 votes and a score of 54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Option C<\/strong>, the tracksuit worn by the show\u2019s What do the results tell us? <\/p>\n\n\n\n For one thing, regardless of whether they watched “Squid Game,” people voted based largely on how scary the costume looked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only does Option B, the Front Man, fit the bill with its futuristic mask \u2014 \u201cquite chilling,\u201d said one person \u2014 it also looks the coolest, voters said. Male respondents were especially drawn to it; more than half ranked it their top choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I like the look and power that comes with [Option] B.<\/em>” \u2014 Male, White, 35-44<\/p> “My daughter has seen Squid Games and absolutely loved it! I plan on starting the series next week and though I don’t know the character indicated by Option B, the costume is too cool for school and I’d like to go as this character!<\/em>” \u2014 Male, White, 45-54<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Option C, the tracksuit, got its share of votes for practical reasons as much as stylistic ones. It gets stuffy under those masks, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I would dress up as something that is not too cumbersome as that can get annoying on Halloween.<\/em>” \u2014 Male, Black, 25-34<\/p> “I like the little jumpsuits, I think they’re iconic and look badass.<\/em>” \u2014 Male, White, 35-44<\/p> “I haven’t watched ‘Squid Game,’ however, despite this I would go with Option C as my costume for Halloween. It’s versatile and could be used for other characters.<\/em>” \u2014 Female, White, 35-44<\/p> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n While some respondents liked the tracksuit for its subtlety (“Only people who watched the show would get it. I think that’s kind of cool,” one wrote), others preferred Option A, the guard’s red jumpsuit, for the opposite reason: it stands out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “The triangle face character seems to be the most popular among fans of the show and is recognizable so I would go with [Option] A.<\/em>” \u2014 Male, White, 25-34<\/p> “As someone who hasn’t watched the show yet, I still know that [Options] A and C are part of it, and I think the design of [Option] A is obviously pretty quirky and memorable. I’d probably buy that first, and the track suit is an easy costume too.<\/em>” \u2014 Male, White, 35-44<\/p> “The soldier is definitely the scariest one, follow by the killer doll and the Frontman.<\/em>” \u2014 Female, White, 25-34<\/p> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n As for Option D, the robot doll featured in the first gruesome game, respondents voted along gender lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two male respondents who ranked it last explicitly said they wouldn\u2019t wear it because of their gender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Only seven people ranked it first, all of them female respondents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “I liked the creepy evil robot on the show, so Option D is my pick. I think the contestants’ clothing would be comfortable to wear, so Option C is my next pick. I have no interest in Options B or A.<\/em>” \u2014 Female, White, 25-34<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Blockbuster TV shows may come and go, but the elements of a good Halloween costume never change. The best ones are creepy, cool, and they get people talking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Which “Squid Game” costume would you wear?
