Up for Squid Game, Superman? Singaporeans head out in eye-catching Halloween costumes

Creative and quirky costumes were on full-display on the streets and public transport with Halloween falling on a Sunday (Oct 31).

Here are some of the more interesting looks spotted on social media. 

Squid Game 

As one of the highest-rated shows this year, it's no surprise that many were inspired to dress up like the characters from this hit Korean series. TikTok user chrisleong_666 even managed to play a round of Red Light, Green Light while onboard the train — complete with the creepy robot girl.

Even heroes have the right to sleep.

Speaking of heroes, Instagram user toufagulous and law student emulated his hero, Josephus Tan, whom some may recognise as 'Gangster Lawyer'. 

Badge lady 

Instagram user joelxlim decided to base his Halloween look off one of Singapore's "pandemic horrors", the Badge Lady — posting a picture of himself mimicking her posing for the cameras as she walked out of court during her trial.

Taking squad goals to another level, TikToker chewyegghead and her friends dressed up as characters from Journey to the West.

The group rode around the Nanyang Technological University campus on a bus, and even made a stop for vegetarian food.
