Eleven costumes
Mitchell Felton, 23, of Greenwood, South Carolina, really upped the ante with his homemade Eleven costume featuring his mother’s pink nightgown.
“The jacket is a blue Champion sports jacket from Belk, the shoes are 2015 Hyperdunks I got at TJ Maxx for $10, the long white tube socks are from Walmart, and the most important is my mom’s nightgown. She absolutely loves it,” Felton, a youth pastor and Young Life leader, told ABC News with a laugh.

“I have all day squared away to start binging,” he said.

Steven Costa, 26, of Greenville, South Carolina, said he purchased his Eleven outfit at a costume store.
\"It doesn't get much newer or more relevant than 'Stranger Things','\" Costa told ABC News. \"Friends love it. We discussed the beard thing, and we decided it would be funnier with it.\"

Phung posted a tutorial of her costume onto YouTube, which she will wear Halloween weekend.
“I think anyone that is a fan of the show and is looking forward to season 2 would definitely consider dressing up as someone or something from the show,” she told ABC News.
Susan Schumacher, owner of the Instagram account pixiebellepug dressed her pugs CharlieRose and Lulubee as Mike and Eleven from the series.
