Hot Topic is a fantastic place to hit for year-round spooktacular and alternative finds, but they really go all out when it comes to Halloween.
To showcase this, the iconic store has released their Halloween Forever campaign starring Cobra Kai's Mary Mouser (fun fact: a former Hot Topic employee!) and Shameless actor Ethan Cutkosky in which the actors model some of the season's best wearables in a fun but perfectly eerie shoot inside an empty movie theater – the ideal place for a haunting good time.

The pair live it up in various orange, black, and horror-inspired designs, with several licensed products making an appearance courtesy of Disney, Rob Zombie, John Carpenter, and more.
"I’m truly so excited to get to partner with Hot Topic for this campaign," Mary says of her experience at the shoot. She continues, "If you open my closet on any given day, you’ll find it filled (to the brim and beyond) with band tees, ripped jeans, and black nail polish. This is the side of Mary that doesn’t always get seen through my work-life, but my Halloween-loving heart is the truest version of me - and Hot Topic has always been my go-to supplier for all things spooky-cute."
Ethan adds, "I just absolutely love Halloween, there is no other time of year or holiday I feel more alive than during Halloween time. I’ve always been fascinated with horror movies and the paranormal. So when Hot Topic reached out and wanted to shoot for Halloween, I was through the roof!!"
The resulting images are the exact vibe needed to get you in the mood for October, and the two young stars let their Halloween love shine bright.
