Is there anything worse than working tirelessly on your Halloween costume, then turning up to the party just to see five other people with the same idea when you walk in the door?

If you’re searching for a unique costume this year, let data drive your decision-making. Google Trends’ seasonal Frightgeist tracks searches for Halloween costumes, shedding light on national and local costume trends.

Search locally to see what people in your area are searching for, or take a peek at national trends to see if you can craft up a one-of-a-kind costume idea.

Speaking of standouts, we’ve got a newsletter bursting with new opportunities. Keep reading for treats (no tricks).
