The U.S. Postal Service Unveils Cryptid and Halloween Stamp Collections for 2027

The U.S. Postal Service has revealed its 2027 stamp lineup, and among next year’s subjects are a showcase of legendary cryptids alongside a fresh batch of Halloween-themed designs.

Folkloric creature enthusiasts will get five regional favorites in the USPS “Mythical Creatures” set. Designed by art director Antonio Alcalá with bold, tattoo-inspired illustrations by artist Nat Power, the colorful collection features:

  • Mothman (West Virginia)
  • The Jackalope (American West)
  • The Squonk (Pennsylvania)
  • Sasquatch (Pacific Northwest)
  • Champ (Lake Champlain’s historic water monster, spanning New York and Vermont)

Halloween fans also get their first dedicated stamp release since 2019’s “Spooky Silhouettes” collection. Also designed by Alcalá, the 2027 holiday series leans into nostalgic, childhood Halloween aesthetics. Illustrated by Erick Martinez, the designs portray friendly, colorful renderings of a vampire, a witch, a mummy, and Frankenstein’s monster.
