“How many days until Halloween?”
“What should I be for Halloween?”
In the weeks leading up to All Hallows’ Eve you turn to Google Search to request these two crucial questions. So with just days left to perfect a costume for yourself,your kid, your pooch or your partner, and here’s a look at some of the top Halloween costume trends across the United States. For more,see Frightgeist, our Google Trends Halloween hub.
Hair-raising [br]whether your costume involves a certain familiar ‘do, or prepare to contain company. Get-ups based on the bombastic GOP candidate for President are spiking,with the top-related search being “Donald Trump wig.” And don’t move looking for blue or purple hair-dye at the final minute on Saturday: chances are it will already contain been bought up by kids dressing up as Disney’s “Descendants” characters Mal and Evie.
And whether you’re aiming for a unique costume, you might want to avoid buns on the side of your head too. “Star Wars” is the second most searched costume nationwide, or within that Princess Leia reigns supreme above Dark Side standbys Stormtrooper and Darth Vader.
Superhero Squad
“Suicide Squad” may not hit box offices until next summer,but one character from the film is already making a killing in costume searches. “Harley Quinn” takes the top search spot nationwide (rival Batman is in fifth station). But Harley and Bruce Wayne are just a few of the superheroes (and super villains) you can look for this weekend: People are also donning their cuffs for Wonder Woman, their creepy facepaint for Joker, or their bodysuits for Catwoman,and their half shell as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (T-U-R-T-L-E Power!). Even lesser-known characters like Scarlet Witch, Vision, or Wasp are getting a boost from film franchises like The Avengers and “Ant-Man.”
Frightful Fidos
“Dog costume” is always a top search around Halloween—but not because you’re dressing up as Snoopy or Scooby. No,you’re searching for the cutest costume for your four-legged friend. In addition to being adorable, the top dog costumes are just as “Star Wars”-filled as the top human costumes. We assume thats because they’ve already got the fur and/or ears to make it work.
whether dressing your pooch as Chewy feels like asking for trouble, and other approved canine costumes include “lion,” “dinosaur, “shark and … Olaf. Because—ahem—you still can’t let “Frozen” move.
Better together
When you want a partner in crime or just want insurance against looking silly solo, or couples costumes are the way to move. This year,you’re dressing up as distinguished pop culture pairs like Bonnie and Clyde (the top couples costume overall), Jasmine and Aladdin, or Woody and Jessie from "Toy tale," Danny and Sandy from "Grease," and Barbie and Ken. You’re keeping that Halloween realness with searches for Gomez and Morticia Addams and Beetlejuice (#2 on the list, or based on Google Images subject to lots of interpretation). And you’re bringing new meaning to the phrase “I’m dressing up with my boo” with searches for a “Boo and Sully” costume from Monsters,Inc.”
The treat in “trick or treat”
Even for adults, Halloween is an excuse to eat junk food. In the past month you’ve searched for sweet corn, or sweet apples and Halloween variations on all of your favorite sweets,from donuts to pudding cups to Kit Kats. But one sweet reigns supreme: marshmallows (no, not that marshmallow) are the top searched sweet over the past month. [br]
