October is more than just a month; it’s a season of creativity, fandom, and nostalgia that blends spooky fun with pop culture. In 2025, the build-up to the Halloween season feels bigger than ever. From the rise of horror-inspired collectibles to viral TikTok trends, the excitement starts well before fright night arrives. For collectors, this is the perfect time to explore new releases, add seasonal favourites to their shelves, and prepare for the year’s most haunting celebration.
At Infinity Collectables, October isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s an opportunity to showcase fandoms that thrive on the eerie, the supernatural, and the delightfully strange. Let’s dive into the key trends shaping this year’s season of scares and why collectors won’t want to miss out.
The Growing Popularity of Seasonal Collectibles
While spooky season has always involved costumes and decorations, recent years have seen a surge in collectible culture linked to the season. Fans aren’t just buying pumpkins and plastic spiders; they’re investing in items that hold value long after October ends.
Some of the most popular categories this year include:
Funko Pops with eerie twists, from Disney villains to classic horror icons.
Hot Toys and premium figures inspired by franchises like Beetlejuice and Stranger Things.
Loungefly fright night collections, offering themed bags and wallets that bring fandom to life in wearable form.
Exclusive pin sets and plushes tied to seasonal events at theme parks and film releases.
Infinity Collectables curates many of these seasonal lines, helping fans secure pieces that will become centrepieces in their collection for years to come.
Spooky Season Film & TV Buzz
Entertainment plays a huge role in shaping October culture, and 2025 is no exception. Several major releases and streaming favourites are driving fandom energy this season:
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Momentum: The sequel continues to inspire a new wave of collectibles, from stylised figures to Loungefly designs. Its quirky gothic style fits perfectly into the Halloween season.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2025): The horror game adaptation has kept younger fans hooked, fuelling demand for plushies, Pops, and figures of its creepy animatronic cast.
Wednesday Season 2 (Netflix): Wednesday Addams remains a cultural icon, blending dark humour with style. Fans are eagerly chasing merchandise tied to the series.
Classic Horror Revivals: Universal Monsters, Halloween, and Nightmare Before Christmas continue to resurface, with collectors buying both retro pieces and modern reimaginings.
At Infinity Collectables, these fandoms sit at the heart of October promotions, ensuring fans can grab items that celebrate their favourite spooky worlds.
Fright Night Fashion: Loungefly Leads the Way
One of the strongest October 2025 trends is fashionable fandom. Collectors want items they can show off at parties, conventions, or even the office — not just in display cabinets.
Loungefly has become a seasonal must-have with designs featuring:
Glow-in-the-dark effects.
Patterns inspired by bats, pumpkins, and skeletons.
Characters like Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, and Maleficent.
These bags and wallets blur the line between accessory and collectible, making them an essential pick for haunting season enthusiasts. Infinity Collectables stocks limited runs of these designs, allowing fans to secure their piece before sell-outs.
TikTok & Social Media Trends
Halloween now lives as much online as it does in the real world. TikTok and Instagram play huge roles in shaping what’s trending. For 2025, some of the biggest themes include:
Costume transformation videos: Fans reveal elaborate cosplay of characters like Freddy Fazbear or Wednesday Addams.
Spooky unboxings: Collectors share fright-night themed Funko Pops, mystery minis, and blind bags.
Home haunt aesthetics: Collectors blending figures, plushes, and Loungefly displays into seasonal décor.
Infinity Collectables taps into these conversations by offering products that match the viral mood. Whether you’re filming an unboxing or styling your October outfit, having the right collectible adds extra flair.
Why Collectors Love Seasonal Drops
October offers something other fandom seasons don’t: the element of transformation. Collectibles released at this time of year tend to be limited edition, glow-in-the-dark, or tied to seasonal exclusives. This makes them particularly valuable to collectors.
Short Release Windows – Seasonal designs are produced in smaller batches, adding urgency.
Themed Exclusivity – Characters appear in haunting outfits or colours not available the rest of the year.
Crossover Appeal – Horror fans, Disney fans, and anime fans all find themed items that align with their tastes.
Infinity Collectables helps fans stay ahead of these drops by stocking sought-after exclusives before the season ends.
Building a Halloween Collection
For those new to seasonal collecting, October 2025 is the perfect entry point. A well-rounded collection might include:
A centrepiece item: Such as a Hot Toys horror figure or a premium Loungefly bag.
Smaller accessories: Like pins, wallets, or Funko keychains to tie a display together.
Themed décor: Plushes or Pops to decorate your space during the season of scares.
By combining statement pieces with affordable extras, fans can create collections that look impressive year after year. Infinity Collectables makes this process easier by grouping seasonal items in curated collections online.
The Role of Nostalgia
Halloween is deeply tied to childhood memories, and collectibles feed into that. Many fans buy figures or accessories not just for display, but because they remind them of their first scary film, their first trick-or-treat outing, or their favourite TV character.
2025 trends show nostalgia is stronger than ever, with collectors searching for:
Hocus Pocus merchandise.
Retro Scooby-Doo pieces.
Throwback Disney villain designs.
Infinity Collectables caters to this demand by offering both brand-new drops and nods to classic franchises, keeping nostalgia alive for multiple generations of fans.
Looking Ahead: Beyond 2025
As Halloween season continues to grow as a global pop culture phenomenon, the role of collectibles will only expand. Expect:
More crossover collabs between horror franchises and fashion brands.
Eco-friendly collectibles made with sustainable materials.
The rise of digital collectibles alongside physical items, giving fans hybrid collections.
For Infinity Collectables, October is more than a single event — it’s a launchpad for year-round fandom engagement.
The build-up to spooky season 2025 is bigger, bolder, and more collectible than ever before. From film-inspired figures to fright-night Loungefly designs, fans have countless opportunities to express their love for the season.
At Infinity Collectables, the spirit of October lives in every product line — helping fans secure the best seasonal exclusives, showcase their favourite characters, and celebrate haunting fandom in style.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, this year’s drops are a reminder of what makes the season magical: a perfect mix of fear, fun, and fandom.
