Spirit Halloween releases new costumes inspired by A24 film Backrooms

Spirit Halloween has unveiled a new line of costumes inspired by the A24 film ‘Backrooms’, which achieved significant commercial success. The film, directed by 19-year-old Kane Parsons, earned $81 million domestically during its opening weekend on a $10 million budget. The costume collection includes items such as signature hazmat suits and gear inspired by the character Cap’n Clark.

In addition to the ‘Backrooms’ line, the retailer is facing social media attention regarding its more unconventional offerings. A TikTok video featuring a Spirit Halloween employee has garnered over 1 million views, where staff expressed disbelief at a ‘Ballerina Cappucina’ costume. The trend has sparked debate among consumers regarding ‘brainrot’ culture and the use of viral internet aesthetics in retail products.
