Trying to figure out your Halloween costume this year? Google’s Frightgeist has got your back! This nifty Google Trends experiment taps into the top 500 most searched costumes in the U.S. and locally.
In San Jose, the top-searched costume for 2023 is “Barbie,” and it’s holding the national crown too. The buzz around Barbie got a boost thanks to Director Greta Gerwig’s film, “Barbie,” featuring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. The movie, a journey through Barbie’s self-discovery, not only smashed the opening weekend record but also claimed the first weekend record for a film directed by a woman.
Curious about other popular searches? Terms like “ken barbie,” “ken and barbie,” “doll costume,” “girls barbie costume,” and “barbie movie” are making waves.
On the broader scale, “Princess” and “Spider-Man” take the second and third spots nationally and locally.
In Silicon Valley, “Princess Peach” grabs the fourth spot, followed by the enchanting “Witch” at number five. Nationally, “Witch” claims the fourth position, and “Fairy” sprinkles its magic at number five.
But hey, whether you’re rocking Barbie glam or casting spells as a witch, remember, it’s time to embrace the spooky season spirit!
