The spooky season is here, so it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes. Cinephiles can always go back to the classics, like Freddy Krueger and Austin Powers, but most cosplayers like to stay relevant. 2022 has introduced movie and TV fans to a ton of cool new costumes, from the new colonial-era Predator in Prey to Robert Pattinson’s new heavily armored Batsuit in The Batman.
