Here's what we found: Spider-Man was the most-repeated costume, showing up five different times across our lists. Captain Jack Sparrow also had a strong showing, as did Ghostface, Batman, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Big props for longevity to Morticia Addams, who showed up in 1967 and 1991.

Google says “Beetlejuice shrunken head” is the top searched shrunken head of all time. Viral break-dancer Raygun ranked second, with lots of people searching “raygun costume” as well as “green and yellow track suit” and “green track pants.”

If you like bright colors, think of pumpkins, elves, fairies, ghosts, rainbows and similar costumes. If you like darker colors, think goth, vampires, skeletons, dark wizards, evil geniuses, etc. However, don't be afraid to mix and match, as it's Halloween and anything goes. 3.
