The Best 'Stranger Things' Halloween Dog Costumes
My dog and I have been “Stranger Things” fans since it premiered on Netflix in 2017. Each time a new season is released, we spend the night binge-watching every episode. This year for Halloween, I’ve decided to go as everyone’s favorite metalhead, Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) – rest in peace – and my furry friend will be his ever-loyal bestie, Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo).
If you and your pooch are also thinking about dressing as “Stranger Things” characters, here are a few canine costumes that can serve as some inspiration.

Price: $18.00
Now, I’m not a huge fan of Demodogs. I will never forgive the species for the death of the sweetheart that was Bob Newby (Sean Astin). However, this is a perfect costume for furry friends, as the creatures are quadrupedal.

On a whole, the Hawkins High basketball team is not trustworthy. For instance, Billy Hargrove (Dacre Kayd Montgomery-Harvey) was absolutely terrifying, and Jason Carver (Mason Dye) was not much better. However, two of my favorite characters, Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) and Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), did also play on the team.

With her blue eyeshadow and sweet smile, it was awful to see Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien) die such a brutal death in season 4. To honor the bubbly teenager, consider dressing your pooch in this Hawkins High cheerleading uniform.

If your dog happens to be into Dungeons and Dragons, you may want to purchase this adorable Hellfire Club shirt for them. You’d make Eddie Munson proud!

While Joyce Byers’ string lights aren’t necessarily a “Stranger Things” character, they may as well be.

Price: $8.99
With this pet sailor costume, your pooch will look like they are serving ice cream at Scoops Ahoy alongside Steve and Robin Buckley (Maya Hawk).
Bowl Haircut Wig

Price: $9.99
For the past four seasons, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) has consistently rocked a bowl cut. In season 4, his brother Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) and best friend, Mike Wheeler, also sported the questionable ‘do. For these reasons, this dog wig can be very versatile.
