Google put together an entire website to break down the most-searched costumes, which can also be viewed by region. Frightgeist, Google’s costume headquarters, can give you an idea of how played out your costume idea will be in your city, or if your brilliant pop culture reference is totally unique. It’s safe to say you likely won’t guess the most Halloween costume being googled the most this year. Let’s start the countdown…
10. Princess
What better excuse to rock a tiara than with a princess costume? Be a Disney princess or one of your own imagination, just be sure to bring the bling. MORE: Overall best halloween costume ideas for 2018
9. Rabbit
Did the Easter Bunny get lost? Walk through the wrong tree in The Nightmare Before Christmas? A rabbit costume is great if you want to confuse people instead of scare them.
8. Pirate
Why are pirate costumes so cool? They just arrrrrrgh! Nab one like this and you’ll be shaking your booty all over town.
7. Superhero
“Superhero” is pretty generic and leaves a very wide range of options, but these generic superhero costumes will fit the bill perfectly when you can’t decide between Superman and the Green Lantern.
6. Harley Quinn
Hope you don’t mind the cold, because the shorts you’ll wear with your Harley Quinn costume definitely will not keep you warm. Be careful where you swing that bat.
5. Witch
Are you a good witch or a bad witch? Good witches may have the pretty dresses, but it’s guaranteed that bad witches have more fun. MORE: Scary women’s halloween costume ideas 2018
4. Dinosaur
A dinosaur costume seems like a great idea until you realize you won’t be able to lift your drink to your mouth with your tiny T-Rex arms.
3. Unicorn
The unicorn costume’s popularity is a little surprising since there haven’t exactly been herds of unicorns roaming the streets on Halloweens past. Nevertheless, this year you may find trails of glitter following you if you grab one of these costumes. Go for the unicorn onesie look, or make yourself the rider on an inflatable unicorn costume.
2. Spider-Man
Coming in at no. 2, Spider-Man is such a popular costume choice that you’ll easily be able to recreate the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme multiple times on Halloween night. MORE: The best couple costume ideas for Halloween 2018
1. Fortnight
The number of Fortnight costumes you can pick from is mind-boggling – this website lists 21 alone. From Bunny Brawler’s rabbit slippers to a complete Raven cosplay costume, your look can be as simple or as realistic as you want.
