It’s spooky season, folks, and that means costume competitions and trick or treating.
While there’s nothing wrong with a classic witch or a cat, they have been trotted out each year, and you might want to switch it up a bit.
That’s where Google comes in, as the search engine company have shared with us their top trending costumes for 2019.
That essentially means that they’ve seen huge spikes in the number of searches compared by the year before, showing relevance and popularity growth.
What it also means is that, if you choose one of these for All Hallow’s Eve, you’re bound to be on-point and on-topic.
Scoops Ahoy costume
If you’ve watched new series of Stranger Things, you’ll know that these costumes feature heavily.
We’ve seen everything from pool floats to trainers dedicated to the now-iconic ice-cream shop, and it appears that Halloween will be no different.
You can get your hands on this particular number from Amazon for £39.99.
Alien abduction costume
Our powers of deduction tell us that the popularity of this costume might have something to do with the Area 51 memes that were kicking about earlier this year.
Searches for alien abduction costumes rose by a whopping 1190.07% this year, making it the second on the trending list from Google.
This option – just £16.95 on Amazon – includes a fan inside the inflatable, with a battery that lasts for four hours.
Money Heist costume
If you’re a fan of Money Heist – or Le Casa Del Papel in Spain – this is the perfect costume.
It appears that the Dali mask worn by the thieves in the show has replaced the Guy Fawkes masks worn in V for Vendetta as the easy costume du jour.
The searches definitely show that, anyway, as they rose by 777.15% over the last year.
Pennywise costume
This no shocker, but search has risen specifically for kids versions of the evil clown costume.
Do you lot all just want your kids to scare themselves to death? How have any of your kids seen the terrifying movie?
These are questions we don’t even want the answers to.
Fat Thor costume
Let’s be honest, it’s pretty difficult to accurately emulate Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal’s Thor.
That might be why 550.96% more people than last year searched for ‘fat Thor’ costumes instead.
Much more attainable, and much more comfortable. Win, win.
Demogorgon costume
The fandoms are obviously keen to get their little ones involved, as searches rose steeply for kids versions of the Demogorgon jumpsuit.
It does tick all the boxes; creepy, topical, and easy to wear.
This one is available from £11.59 on Amazon.
Harley Quinn costumes
Nope, the Harley Quinn train just is not stopping any time soon.
In fact, searches for this rose by 418.91% this year on Google.
The fact is, it’s a great costume. You’re just unlikely to be the only one wearing it.
Georgie Halloween costume
Officially the costume above is a ‘disguise rideable clown child disguise costume’. Those copyright claims are a b*tch.
However it appears that a large number of people want to dress up – or dress their kids up – as a kid who gets attacked by a clown.
Thankfully, this look can be recreated easily with a yellow raincoat and some wellies. Plus, you’ll be protected from the current rainy weather.
Venom costume
For those of you who have already mastered the Spiderman costume, why not go for his evil counterpart, Venom?
Searches for kids Venom costumes went up by 322.04% this yearm, so it appears the little ones are keen to head over to the dark side, too.
Broken doll Halloween costume
This rise in search might be down to the Annabelle remake that came out this year – Annabelle Comes Home.
Even the trailer looked terrifying, but thankfully this is a costume that you can balance with cuteness if that’s your bag.
There are some great makeup tutorials out there, too.
Joker 2019 costume
While there’s never a shortage of Jokers out and about at this time of year, Joaquin Phoenix has brought the costume a new lease of life.
If you want to do the other evil clown justice this year, you’ll need to be wearing the costume from his origin stories.
Plus, it doubles up if you’re ever going to a 70s themed wedding. Result.
Miles Morales costume
Another spin-off from the classic Spiderman costume is that of Miles Morales.
It’s a great option for POC who want to champion the black character, and show their intricate knowledge of the comic book series.
Search in this rose by 256.91% this year.
Werewolf costume
There has been a rise in searches for kids werewolf costumes for 2019.
Did werewolves fall out of fashion for a bit? What’s brought them back to popularity?
Who knows, but it’s much more wholesome for a child than dressing them as a kid who gets murdered by a sewer-dwelling clown.
