We’re spotlighting talent in the cosplay community!

Every month, The Variant showcases cosplayers who display talent, creativity, and a positive voice within the cosplay community.

BUT….

October for The Variant is always a different story…

Every October we go all-out to bring you the most terrifying,

scariest horror cosplays we can come up with and 2025 is as

nightmarishly gruesome as ever!!

Last year we brought you Chilling Adventures of The Variant…

This year we’ve got 13 Ghosts of The Variant to terrify you!!!

Are you crying yet???

Yes, cry for us.

We'll drink your tears in our coffee.

With 13 different murderous tales of cryptids, cults, psychos,

ghosts, witches, mass-murderers, Martians, and murder clowns, get ready to run outside in your underwear, hide in the shed,

hear a noise, run to your truck only to

remember you forgot your keys in the house so you

run down the road and get picked

up by Sherrif Hoyt and while you're in his car explaining

what happend he pulls into the Sawyer's family farmhouse...

Anyway while you're hanging by your ankles in the barn, please enjoy our nightmarish menagerie of of your favorite Variant Cosplay Spotlights and some brand new faces (hope they survive) such as:
