15 Cute Halloween Pajamas For Cozy Movie Nights

We've already started rewatching scary movies, but you might be waiting until October to kick off your horror marathons. There'll be sharp fangs, a sweeter look at the Netherworld, and skeletons galore, so your pajamas should look the part!

It's no coincidence Halloween occurs after the Autumn Equinox where the days are shorter and the air is crisper. It only adds to the cozy and eery vibes we're looking for! To save you time, we have 15 insanely cute Halloween pajamas you'll be excited to wear while snuggling with one of your new cozy Amazon blankets!

The Best Halloween Pajamas

Old Navy

Old Navy Halloween Print Pajama Set

Pajamas don't have to be terrifying for you to wear them, but they do have to be cute. Take a cue from our top Halloween decorations by wearing something that features smiling pumpkins, intricate spider webs, and surprised ghosts!

This soft jersey set is made of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex to give you a fitted look that won't cut off your circulation or fade the first time you wash it.

Forever21

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Shirt & Shorts Pajama Set

Beetlejuice 2is still on our minds, but it's not just our favorite ghoul we're thinking about. For reasons unknown, we can't stop thinking about Sandworms and their one-track mind mission. Ironically, Beetlejuice's signature black and white suit matches their memorable design so we say you need this Halloween pajama set, which is (thankfully) machine washable.

American Eagle Outfitters

American Eagle Outfitters Peanuts Fall Pumpkin Plush PJ Set

If this plush PJ set reminds you of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, that's 100 percent intentional. It's a well-known fact that the Peanuts characters wasted no time getting into the Halloween spirit by embracing pumpkins. You can continue to keep it short and sweet by wearing something that explores Snoopy's love for the orange fruit with this allover print!

Kohl's

Kohl's Snoopy Great Pumpkin Halloween Boxy Sleep Tee And Pants Set

You could also skip the Snoopy and pumpkin print by focusing on something straight out of the comic books. You'll still be wearing something reminiscent of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but in a different font.

Target

Hyde & EEK! Boutique Glow-in-the-dark Skeleton Pajama

Have fun with your Halloween pajamas by wearing something that glows in the dark! This jumpsuit reminds us of decorations we spotted at Target, making it the fun and slightly hair-raising piece you should wear after taking the kids trick-or-treating. It could also function as a super comfy Halloween costume.

Printfresh

Printfresh Witch's Brew Sleep Shirt

This sleep shirt is giving us the adult version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch after a long night of casting spells, brewing potions, and running after her kids during bath time. Clears throat. Sorry, we got a little sidetracked there! But, who wouldn't want to wear Barbie-pink pajamas that acknowledge your love for a nice glass of wine after a long day?

Etsy

Enanday Horror Characters Pajamas

These Halloween pajamas are for anyone who's got a penchant for watching the most terrifying horror flicks known to mankind. Whether you can't stop watching the Predator or Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, there's a character that acknowledges your go-to film when the lights are out.

Amazon

Ekouaer Short Sleeve Nightshirt

On the other hand, sadistic movie characters may not be something you want to dream about at night, and we don't blame you. Instead of literally welcoming scariness in your bed, choose this short sleeve nightshirt. It celebrates the cartoonish version of Halloween that would comfort even the youngest of kids.

BloomChic

BloomChic Bone Chilling Skeletal Placket Sleep Jumpsuit

Who wears short Halloween pajamas? You do if you've got your eyes on this skeleton placket jumpsuit! We can't get over the intricate details on the skeleton's interior parts, from the spider who's found a new home to the orange hearts placed over the hip bones. They're such a cute reminder that our bones aren't useless!

Disney

Disney Mickey And Minnie Mouse Halloween Pajama Set

Mickey and Minnie Mouse sure know how to party, no matter what holiday it is! Honestly, we think you could get away with wearing this set as part of your family costumes or you can save for them bedtime! We'd choose the former because trick-or-treat is written all over this set.

Carter's

Carter's 2-Piece Glow Halloween Skeleton Pajamas

Carter's is stepping things up by including adults in all the Halloween fun this year. Instead of a short jumpsuit, you can wear this skeletal 2-piece set that glows in the dark. You'll still find a teeny spider getting comfortable between the bones, but you'll also see a little green ghost and a pair of daunting eyes staring back at you.

Target

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Family Blanket Sleeper

Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas deserves the praise she gets every Halloween. Not only did she find a way to help Jack Skellington feel less lonely, but she also served as a voice of reason throughout the film. If it weren't for her, we don't know where our tragic hero would've ended up. That being said, step into this family blanket sleeper that has Sally's love and care etched into it.

Printfresh

Printfresh Halloween House Cats Long PJ Set

We know the "childless cat ladies" quip was meant as an insult, but the joke's on whoever hasn't had the pleasure of being chosen by felines. They're truly selective and have a sixth sense that puts them in tune with the person they trust.

Lean into the witchy vibe of having a couple of cats who are so locked in with your habits and moods they feel like your familiars.

Walmart

Way To Celebrate Halloween Fang Print 2-Piece Set

From Bram Stoker's Dracula to Interview with a Vampire, you've seen all the blood-draining movies. But that's not to say you're done watching them. In fact, you probably plan to buy a set of plastic fangs to match your new Halloween pajamas. If this sounds spot on, hurry to your nearest Halloween shop to pick up your new fangs so you can start wearing this 2-piece set next week!

JC Penney

JCPenney Nightmare Before Christmas V-Neck 2-Piece Set

Before we go, we can't forget about Halloween pajamas aimed at applauding Jack Skellington. He knew how to put on a frightful event, but the place where his human heart used to be remained open and giving. It's true he shouldn't have tried to steal Christmas, but every hero has their flaw!

Why Timothée Chalamet Abandoned “Good Friend” Austin Butler’s ‘Elvis’ Method For Bob Dylan Role

Austin Butler as Elvis, Selena Gomez as Linda Rondstat, and now Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan — there will never be enough biopics for me! (The real question is when are we going to get a Taylor Swift movie?). When pictures from the set of the new Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown, hit Twitter, I had to do a double take because Timothée Chalamet looks so much like the musician I couldn't believe my eyes! You can watch the A Complete Unknown trailer here.

Timothée is going to be joined by Met Gala queen Elle Fanning, as well as Top Gun superstar Monica Barbaro. Here's everything you need to know about the movie — and our favorite Bob Dylan songs to listen to while you wait for its release.

Keep reading to see the latest updates from Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown.

Timothée Chalamet stars in A Complete Unknown, coming to theaters December 25, 2024.
He's joined by Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
The movie follows Bob Dylan's career in the 1960s as he rises to fame and later shifts from folk to rock'n'roll.

Did Timothée Chalamet take inspiration from Austin Butler’s Elvis?

Timothée Chalamet recently revealed that while he originally wanted to approach A Complete Unknown by taking direct inspiration from Bob Dylan, he quickly changed his tone...so to speak. "Somebody once said to me, you can't make a movie about a painter because it's not interesting to watch paint dry," he says in People's exclusive video. "Bob has that element because he's not one of these forward-facing musicians."

While Timmy saw Natalie Portman a sequence in Jackie "step-for-step exactly what Jackie did," and paid attention to "all this stuff that I saw my good friend Austin Butler crush it with on Elvis," he quickly realized "I gotta do none of this because this is not my style."

"Bob did not have a vocal coach," he continues. "He had two bottles of red wine and four packs of cigarettes. There's no way to impersonate that." One of my favorite things about biopics is seeing how a well-known actor portrays a recognizable figure. And you can see Timothée Chalamet's interpretation of Bob Dylan in theaters December 25!

Monica Barbaro Sings Her Heart Out

twitter.com

We got a look at Monica Barbaro as singer-songwriter Joan Baez, who was one of the first major artists in the 1960s to record Bob Dylan's music!

I was super impressed to learn Timothée showed up and sang live for the film. "It was important for me to play and sing on set because it was in the spirit of the movie to do it live," he says in a video from People. "Many of the artists through American pop culture that had the balls to turn their back on what was expected of them, that moment started with Bob. His words are relevant; 'Times They are A Changing' ' is relevant, 'Blowin' in the Wind' is relevant."

Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet In "A Complete Unknown"

twitter.com

Elle Fanning totally embodies the late '60s vibe in this fall outfit. The bold maroon blazer, the long straight hair, and the striped turtleneck — I love it all! Elle is starring this Bob Dylan movie as Sylvie Russo, a university student and artist Bob falls for in the '60s.

twitter.com

Thanks to some onset leaks, we also got a glimpse of the movie's version of The Freewheelin'! Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet look incredible as Sylvia Russo and Bob Dylan. I'm a sucker for any kind of recreation, so seeing this new version of the classic record cover is incredible!!

The First Pictures From Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan Movie

twitter.com

Timothée Chalamet has totally transformed into Bob Dylan on the set of A Complete Unknown. And when I saw the pictures of Timothée carrying the guitar my jaw dropped!! He completely engrossed himself in Wonka and Dune 2 and I'm so excited to see him do the same for this Bob Dylan movie.

What is the movie about Bob Dylan called?

A Complete Unknown Plot

Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan movie is called A Complete Unknown. The movie filmed around New York City in the spring of 2024, and James Mangold is serving as director (you might recognize his name from Logan, Girl, Interrupted, and Walk the Line). The movie will cover the period during the 1960s when Bob Dylan shifted from folk to rock'n'roll, changing the face of pop culture (and culture in general, TBH), forever.

"When that movie finally comes out, people are going to be shocked because you're going to think you're hearing Bob Dylan sing," vocal coach Eric Vetro tells PEOPLE. "[Timothée Chalamet] just has this uncanny ability to not impersonate, but really breathe life into it. He's embodying Bob Dylan and what he was like at that age."

Who else is in A Complete Unknown with Timothée Chalamet?

A Complete Unknown Cast

The A Complete Unknown cast is incredible! Alongside Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, we'll see Top Gun: Maverick's Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Nick Offerman as Alan Lomax.

When is the Bob Dylan movie coming out?

A Complete Unknown Release Date

A Complete Unknown will hit theaters on December 25, 2024. And since Timothée Chalamet has been seen in turtlenecks, hats, and jackets on set, this sounds like the perfect cozy movie to me!

I always need some brand new music to listen to once the weather gets chilly, and I will for sure be listening to anything Timothée records.

What song did Bob Dylan write for a movie?

Christopher Polk/Getty Images for VH1

Bob Dylan wrote "Things Have Changed" for the 2000 movie Wonder Boys, which starred Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, and Katie Holmes. This Bob Dylan song ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Original Songand the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song!

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door," which is arguably the singer's most popular track, was released two months after the 1973 premiere of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid as a part of the film's soundtrack.

What are some other Bob Dylan songs to listen to?

Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

I totally agree that one of the best Bob Dylan songs is "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," but "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" are also great songs to listen to if you're a new Bob Dylan fan. So far, "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is my personal favorite song.

His style is the perfect blend of rock and folk that reminds me of summer picnics and walks in the woods. His sound also reportedly inspired Taylor Swift's Folklore!

Renée Zellwegger & Leo Woodall Prove Age Gaps Are Sexy In 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy' Trailer

If you're a rom-com fan who also can't get enough of Jane Austen's books, you've probably seen the Bridget Jones movies. The story (which is loosely based on Pride & Prejudice) follows the titular Bridget Jones, a 30-something who sets out on a mission to improve herself over the course of a year while she looks for a partner. And, in true romantic movie form, she keeps a diary the whole time. Not only can we rewatch the original trilogy as many times as we want, but we're also getting a fourth movie! Here's everything we know about Bridget Jones 4.
