Who among us doesn't love original theme ideas for Halloween? Usually, people wear costumes of their favorite characters or sport a unique makeup look that elevates their level of engagement. But what about friendly gaming sessions on this spooky night? You’ll definitely surprise your friends if you don’t settle for the mundane. Our idea is to combine the Halloween theme with a custom gaming controller. A unique pairing of your gamepad and creepy costume or mask will turn your gaming night into an adventure and a thrilling competition—who can find the best match? You can steal paired ideas for your gaming Halloween night from us before your friends do.

Perfect Pair—Gamepad and Halloween Costume

DreamController customizes controllers and takes pride in its collections of custom-modified and standard controllers, utilizing hydro-absorbing technology. Their collection of controllers, room decor stands, and much more is simply impressive. But right now, let’s focus on Halloween—a pair combining the costume of Pennywise, the sinister clown embodying children's fears by terrorizing the town of Derry with his horrific illusions and murders in the film "It," along with a controller from DreamController featuring the creepy character print, will astonish your friends.

We dove deeper into the custom controllers from DreamController and found another character perfect for geeky Halloween— the chaotic and ruthless criminal Joker, who seeks to sow anarchy in Gotham, opposing his chaotic worldview to Batman's principles. A super print on the gaming controller skin and a licensed DC costume to match is just what you need to impress your friends.

This year's gaming sensation with an ancient Chinese mythological story, Black Myth: Wukong, has already generated a lot of hype, and it's no surprise that finding a quality mask of the Monkey King Sun Wukong, known for his cunning and magical abilities, is no longer a problem. I also recommend checking out stunning cosplay costumes to complete the look.

Bowser—a large turtle-like villain who often kidnaps Princess Peach and tries to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, making him Mario and his friends' main enemy. His image has become iconic in the world of video games. That’s why he’s a great option for Halloween, especially since the gaming accessories company PDP has created a whole series of Rematch Glow controllers for Nintendo Switch inspired by the Super Mario game, so you don’t have to settle only for Bowser.
