The Halloween & Costume Association has named eight finalists for Fang Favorite at the 2026 Spooky Awards. The winner is scheduled to be announced Jan. 11 at the Halloween & Party Expo in Las Vegas.
The Halloween & Costume Association (HCA) has announced eight finalists for Fang Favorite at the 2026 Spooky Awards, naming products across costumes, accessories, masks and décor. The winner is scheduled to be revealed Jan. 11 at the 2026 Halloween & Party Expo in Las Vegas.
According to The Toy Book’s report, the finalists were chosen through a consumer vote. The nominees cover eight award categories: Accessories, Adult Costume, Child Costume, Licensed Costume, Most Unique Costume, Décor, Masks and Most Innovative Product.
The listed finalists are Ghoulish Productions’ Skin Corset in Accessories; its Sasquatch Costume in Adult Costume; Jazwares’ Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 Gourde Horde Official Kids Zentai Halloween Costume in Child Costume; and Jazwares’ Adult’s Star Wars Darth Maul Official Zentai Suit in Licensed Costume.
The remaining nominees are Disguise’s Prestige Ursula Costume for Women in Most Unique Costume; Ghoulish Productions’ Rusty the Clown in Décor; its Big Horns Devil in Masks; and its Futakuchi Onna in Most Innovative Product. The report identifies a single finalist in each category, for eight nominees overall.
Eight Products Compete for Fan Recognition
The finalists give consumers a snapshot of the products selected for recognition across several parts of the Halloween market, from wearable costumes to masks and decorations. The nominations also show the range of categories included in Fang Favorite, with licensed character costumes alongside original designs and themed products.
For the companies named, being a finalist is a form of consumer-vote recognition, though the source does not provide vote totals or explain the voting process in detail. The announcement also points readers to the awards event as the next public milestone: the result will identify which nominee receives the Fang Favorite title.
The award is part of the wider 2026 Spooky Awards program, whose winners are to be announced at the Halloween & Party Expo. That makes the Jan. 11 event relevant to readers following Halloween merchandise and industry recognition, while the finalist list itself does not establish sales performance, broader popularity or product quality beyond the award nomination.
