Best Wednesday Addams costumes to buy for Halloween in 2023
On Wednesdays we wear blood. This Halloween, celebrate your favourite gothic heroine with these top Wednesday Addams costumes.
This past year has been great for female-led content. From the Barbie movie blowing up at the box office to Ahsoka taking the helm of the Star Wars universe, we’re coming into October with a whole new catalogue of role models, which – although this shouldn’t be the main takeaway – means plenty of inspiration for this year’s Halloween costume.
Now if you cast your mind back to last November, you may remember that one of these shows was Wednesday, the hit spin-off series to The Addams Family.
Led by Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams – the girl who loves stabbing a bit too much, dramatic cello sessions on rooftops, and a bit of “light torture” – this series took the streaming world by storm.
The story centres around Wednesday finding her place (or rather trying not to find it) at her new school Nevermore; An institution that nurtures outcasts, creatures, and freaks.
But despite doing her utmost to keep to herself, the Addams daughter is inevitably sucked in by the mystery of a murderous creature roaming the grounds. Along the way she forms reluctant attachments with would-be werewolf Enid, artsy stranger Xavier, and local boy Tyler. As the series progresses, many secrets are uncovered, some of them about Wednesday’s own family.
After becoming a huge success, the only downside of Wednesday was that it came out after Halloween. So now, after 11 months of waiting it’s time to drab up and don your best funeral suit, because it’s time to go gothic.
Here are the most woeful Wednesday costumes to buy in 2023.
