Sexy ‘Odyssey’ costumes set to conquer Halloween 2026

“The Odyssey,” the epic film directed by Christopher Nolan, dominated at movie theaters this year and its influence is likely to spread into adult Halloween costumes this year.
You can expect to see lots of sexy women dressed as Greek goddesses and Helen of Troy along with men in ancient Greek warrior outfits at parties and nightclubs on Oct. 31.
In its annual Halloween costume trend report, retailer Spirit Halloween said this about the trend: “Mythological lore is staging a ferocious takeover. Ripped straight from ancient texts and cinematic masterpieces, battle-hardened Greek armor, flowing cloaks, and epic accessories are primed to rule 2026.”
Lingerie company Yandy also is spotlighting sexy Odyssey-inspired costumes this year.

Spirit Halloween costume memes parody politicians, celebrities, white-collar office drones

Every Halloween season, social media is flooded with fake Spirit Halloween costume memes. And this year is no exception.
The viral images use a specific template: the iconic orange-and-yellow Spirit packaging, a generic name for a politician, celebrity or derided worker type, and a bulleted list of humorous accessories included in the bag.
A lot of the memes circulated are favorites from prior years that are still relevant.
What follows is a collection of funny Spirit Halloween meme images. New this year are Madonna at the MTV VMA 2026 ceremony (see image above), Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, fake football player Daejon Love and accused child killer Lindsay Clancy.
On the U.S. political front, classics include former First Lady Michelle Obama, aka Big Mike; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the business side of Spirit Halloween memes are portrayals of a LinkedIn influencer and private equity associate.
