TikTok creator Jessica Lowe has crafted a detailed Halloween costume inspired by Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters, turning the project into a family affair with her 12-year-old daughter.
Released back in June 2025, Kpop Demon Hunters is a Netflix animated film about a group of idol performers who double as demon fighters.
In a video posted to TikTok, costume maker Jessica Lowe revealed that she was challenged by Netflix to recreate Derpy the Tiger, a character from the movie.

The costume was built using upholstery foam, faux fur, polymer clay for the nose, and a mix of cardboard and foam clay for the teeth. She added spray paint and rubber spray for finishing touches, while acrylic markers were used to detail spots on the chest.
The project included glowing LED eyes, a removable mini hat, and even a companion character named Sussy with its own light-up features. Lowe explained that she learned new crafting techniques during the process, including bending acrylic at home, and used community advice like razors and buzzers for shaping fur.
What’s coolest about the costume is the fact that the wearer can move Derpy’s eyes and tongue, making it equal parts cool and creepy.
Her daughter tested the costume and said it was easy to move in, while Lowe noted that the glowing eyes will either appear magical or terrifying to kids on Halloween night.
