Costumes inspired by the violent and hugely popular Netflix series "Squid Game" are dominating Halloween this year, with searches for "Squid Game" costumes exploding 50,000% compared to last week, according to data compiled by the e-commerce company Profitero.

"Squid Game," a South Korean thriller where cash-strapped contestants compete in deadly children's games for a chance at winning a $38 million prize, debuted on Sept. 17. Now, "Squid Game costume" is the sixth most-searched term on Amazon.

"Nothing else we have seen is even remotely close to this kind of spike, which really shows how much of a cultural impact Netflix has," said Dan Graziano, Profitero's director of media relations. "From 'Stranger Things' to 'Bridgerton' and now 'Squid Game,' Netflix has an ability to take over news cycles, social media, and now Halloween… even beating the likes of Disney/Marvel characters."

Classic Halloween costumes and outfits inspired by characters from TV, movies, and video games round out the top 10 list, which was compiled based on the most-searched-for terms on Amazon.
