NJ’s most popular Halloween costume for 2024 according to Google

It’s hard to believe it’s the (unofficial) end of summertime and we’re getting back into the school/work routine for the next few months.

We’ve been talking about how Halloween is being pushed on us earlier every year but here we are approaching the Fall season and dusting off those decoration bins to start setting up for the spooky season (still too soon?).

Something that isn’t too soon to do is think about your family’s Halloween costumes.

It’s been a topic of conversation in my house since we come up with a family theme every year, but my 3-year-old wants to be the decision-maker this year and I really don’t want to be four different versions of Spiderman.

So I hit Google Trends to see what everyone else in New Jersey is searching for when it comes to Halloween costumes this year.

The list is actually interesting.

There are a ton of searches for general costumes like “women’s Halloween costume” or “baby Halloween costume”, but when you get down to the specifics, there are searches for traditional costumes and very popular pop-culture ones as well.

The top 7 most searched Halloween costumes from New Jersey residents as of August 2024 are:

#7 Minions Halloween costume

#6 Skeleton costume

#5 Ghost Halloween costume

#4 Mean Girls Halloween costume

#3 Wolverine Halloween costume

#2 Taylor Swift Halloween costume

And the #1 most searched costume in the Garden State is "Deadpool Halloween costume".

“Deadpool & Wolverine” was just released in the theaters and became one of the most popular movies of the year so it’s no surprise that both characters ended up being the most searched.

What will end up being the most popular costume of the year? We have a few weeks until we find out.

Now our pets are a different story...
