If you haven’t picked a Halloween costume yet, never fear, Google is here to help. Frightgeist shows you what the most popular Halloween costume ideas are in your area, as well as nationally.

As fun as it is to dress as a Jedi or superhero, an original costume will help you truly stand out. Frightgeist is powered by Google Trends and tells you what costume ideas most people are searching for online, both locally and nationally. In my neck of the woods, I won’t be able to turn a corner without seeing a wookie, but Michigan is planning to rep Game of Thrones. If you can come up with an idea that isn’t on Frightgeist’s map or list, there’s a good chance you’ll have that costume that everyone will be talking about at the Halloween party. Talk about an ice-breaker. You can check out Frightgeist at the link below.
