Aunt Gladys Costume Craze Sweeps Halloween 2025

With Halloween 2025 just around the corner, the character of Aunt Gladys from the recent blockbuster film Weapons is poised to be one of the most popular costume choices. Played on the big screen by actress Amy Madigan, Aunt Gladys is a character that is sure to be spotted at parties and parades across the country on October 31st.

Weapons director Zach Cregger, who is currently filming the new Resident Evil movie overseas, is eagerly anticipating the waves of Aunt Gladys costumes that will flood social media. The character's bold look, featuring striking sunglasses, heavy makeup, a shocking red wig, and vibrant attire, makes her an obvious and easily recognizable choice for Halloween revelers.

Cregger believes the broad familiarity of the character, combined with the iconic nature of her visual design, will lead to a surge of Aunt Gladys costumes this year. He is particularly excited to see any "Sexy Aunt Gladys" interpretations that may emerge, as he feels the character's distinctive style lends itself well to creative variations.
