The country is in the thick of spooky season, and if you're still deciding on a costume for Halloween, Google's Frightgeist site can offer ideas.
The tech giant's annual microsite uses search data to list the top costumes both nationally and regionally.
Don't be surprised to see multiple iterations of Barbie at Halloween parties this year, as the cultural dominance of the Greta Gerwig film has the costume at the top of multiple lists.
While pink may dominate overall, Frightgeist offers a variety of costume ideas for the young, old and four legged.
These are the most popular costumes for Halloween in 2023.
