My Latinx culture is not a costume. Don’t wear a sombero. Don’t wear a mariachi suit. Don’t wear a Catrina or Catrin outfit because Dia de los Muertos is not Halloween.
Try these ideas instead! Latinx movies and television have many ghoulish, spooky, and funny characters you can be for Halloween.
El Chavo del Ocho is a long running 1970’s comedy sitcom with several characters you’d have fun dressing up as like El Chavo (L) and Chilindrina (R) pictured here.
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark gives us more creepy characters thanks to Guillermo Del Toro. This is Ruthie who is suffering from an unfortunate spider bite.
Juan Carlos and Tati! So cute! Ok, so not exactly “spooky”. I’m sharing because I’m just so excited to see these characters out on Halloween. Watch for Los Espookys Season 2 on HBO.
Get in on the action with these Latinx super heroes
This little Ghost Rider is so cute! Hopefully Marvel’s Ghost Rider, aka Robbie Reyes, will make it to the screen soon.
What will you be this Halloween?
There are many more characters you can dress up for Halloween without disrespecting Latinx culture. Do you have other characters to suggest? Leave a comment!
