Worried about someone having the same costume as you at the Halloween party you are going to? Well, Google's list may help you avoid that.

From the sexy-styled costumes, creative DIYs, last-minute put-togethers and pop-culture-inspired outfits, some costumes are bound to be the same ones you see while trick-or-treating or partying.

Google Trends has released its 2021 FrightGeist, which lists the top costumes nationally, as well as the most popular ones in cities across the country. Check out their complete list to get some good ideas if you still haven't decided on a costume.

The top 15 Halloween costumes this year include some iconic horror movie characters and some inspired by popular films of the past year. Check out how they ranked among the list below.

Kicking off the list at #15 are those pesky bloodsuckers. Honestly, wearing red contacts and fangs sounds like a dream.


14. Angel

Sent from above, angel costumes rank #14. Of course, angel costumes can be wholesome or more risqué... which is the case with all Halloween costumes these days.


13. Pumpkin

I've seen different variations of the pumpkin costume, with folks simply wearing a pumpkin head or being a human-sized pumpkin.


12. Pirate

Captain Jack Sparrow single-handedly made pirates cool again. Go ahead, try to change my mind.


11. Cheerleader

B-O-O give us a fright, B-O-O with all your might! Cheerleaders take the #11 spot, and who doesn't love shaking around pom-poms? This costume is great because guys like getting in on the fun dressing as cheerleaders, too.


10. Chucky

I don't know what would possess someone to choose Chucky other than the fact that they're twisted. Your friend till the end, Chucky comes in at #10.


9. Clown

Clowns can be creepy or cute, and even when they're cute, they're still creepy.


8. Cowboy

Giddy on up and strap on them cowboy boots and hat partner!


7. Harley Quinn

Personally, this version of Harley Quinn has been so overplayed, I'm perfectly okay with not seeing this for the rest of my life.


6. Fairy

A sweet and playful fairy costume is perfect for those wanting to highlight their makeup skills.


5. Cruella De Vil

The next Harley Quinn of costumes surely will be Cruella. Though the movie was fantastic, it gets boring real fast when everyone jumps on the bandwagon.


4. Spider-Man

It's no surprise to see Spider-Man ranking so high on the list. Spider-Man costumes are both fun and funny to see when there are multiples.


3. Dinosaur

Rawr! Dinosaurs ranking at #3 is honestly surprising, as the only dinosaur costumes I've seen are the inflatable ones, as seen in this photo.


2. Rabbit

That's hot. Whenever you see rabbit/bunny costumes, it's pretty safe to assume it will involve lingerie.


1. Witch

The unofficial mascot of Halloween is none other than the witch! Interpretations of witch costumes have spread out with film and television and we love every version of it.
