The Scandal actress joined in on the fun as a contestant 456. Although her tracksuit isn't a canonical recreation of the show's game uniform, Washington ups the ante with a video featuring the series soundtrack. 

Spooky rating: not the most accurate depiction but dedication worthy of an Oscar-nod!

If there's anyone that could perhaps rival Heidi Klum's dedication to Halloween pageantry, it would be Tim Yap. Known for his incredible (and timely) costumes, the August 2020 Tatler cover subject is no stranger to pulling off some of pop culture's most iconic characters. 

He's donned most-everything from a demogorgon (Stranger Things), the Night King from Game of Thrones, to Gru from Despicable Me, Edward Scissorhands, and much more. Of course, Yap didn't miss the opportunity to go all out with his Player 001 recreation.

What's Halloween without prosthetics and multiple looks? Yap recreated Player 001's iconic tracksuit (with matching dalgona snacks and marbles) and took it up a notch by also portraying the character's last appearance on the show - bald cap and oxygen mask in tow.

Spooky rating: this definitely isn't amateur hour. 

Aespa is one of K-pop biggest names right now. With their experimental sound and edgy concepts, the all-girl group has shot to fame in no time at all. This year, the group's lead vocalist, Winter, took to channelling her own version of Younghee, matched with a giant spider and a skeleton friend.

Spooky rating: adorably sinister but nothing out-of-the-box.

The pop singer participated in promoting Netflix and TikTok's recreation of the Squid Game set for a limited-run pop-up in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Much to the delight of his fans, he was spotted playing Ddakji and Red Light, Green Light. Though he struggled to win at the games, Nam flexed his signature charisma and infectious energy. 

Spooky rating: definitely the most charming Squid Game ambassador.

While many may find sporting Squid Game's pink coveralls quite controversial, this celebrity pup is here to quell the debate. Companion to one of Korea's biggest names, Son Ye-jin (Crash Landing on You, Something in the Rain), the ironically-named Maltese, Kitty, is only here to capture hearts and provoke awws and endearing nicknames. 

Spooky rating: best-dressed non-feline Kitty.
