The costumes from Netflix's hugely popular Squid Game series will likely be among the most popular for Halloween, but not in elementary schools in the Fayetteville-Manlius borough of New York.
In fact, three principals sent an email to the parents of the pupils, saying that red clothes and black masks are banned due to the "violent message" of the South Korean series.
The restriction came after Syracuse area school principals explained that the students were playing a version of the survival game that caused a lot of controversy.
"Due to concerns about the potential violent nature of the game it is inappropriate," reads the letter sent to parents from Mott Road Elementary School, reported by the New York Post: "And even a Halloween costume inspired by this series does not meet our lines. guide".
Squid Game tells the story of a group of people who risk their lives in a deadly survival game to win the prize pool of 45.6 billion won, or approximately 33 million euros.
After debuting in September on Netflix, around 111 million viewers followed the episodes, making it the most popular series ever on the platform, but also sparking a lot of controversy due to its violent nature.
