It shows the most popular costume searches around the US and also offers suggestions.
We found suggestions based on the 10 most popular costume searches plus a few that are more obscure.
Still stuck on what to dress up as this Halloween? Google's "Frightgeist" tool shows you all the most popular costumes this year (according to what people are Googling), and its "Costume Wizard" can narrow down some options for you, based on whether you want to blend in with the crowd or look totally unique, as well as how scary you want to be.
Based on Google's top 10 most-searched-for costumes, we're offering some suggestions to help you complete your look. Plus, we found a few choices that not as many people will be wearing, too.

How to use Google's Frightgeist to find a costume
To use Google's Frightgeist Costume Wizard tool, you slide the levers on the spookiness level and uniqueness level. You can also opt for modern or classic style and set the trends to local or national.
For example, when we input 100% spooky and 100% unique for a modern costume, the tool suggested "Saw." Apparently, there won't be too many Jigsaws wreaking havoc this Halloween.
The 10 most popular costumes in the US right now, according to Google
Witch
Not only are witches cool, this costume is pretty easy to put together. Modern witches don't even need pointy hats.
Make it more unique: Choose a specific witch, be it someone from "The Worst Witch," "The Craft," or "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina." "Hocus Pocus" is probably going to be a popular choice.
Dinosaur
A versatile choice, dinosaur costumes can either be cute or frightening.
Make it more unique: The T.rex is always very popular, but we think the stegosaurus, triceratops, or ankylosaurus should get some respect, too.
"Stranger Things"
It makes sense that Netflix's eerie series is all the rage when it comes to Halloween costumes. Not only is the show wildly popular, you can get away with wearing jeans and a t-shirt (as long as it's the right t-shirt).
Make it more unique: Recent seasons have given us many iconic and easily identifiable characters, but maybe harken back to season one and don a bunch of Christmas lights or Eleven's pale pink dress.
Fairy
Kids and grownups who love glitter and wings gravitate toward fairy costumes. Grab some tulle and maybe a wand, and you're pretty much good to go.
Make it more unique: Do you also love Christmas? Pull together a sugarplum fairy ensemble.
Spider-Man
The web-slinger's look is basically a one-piece, so you don't need too many accessories. That frees your hands up to hold a treat bag.
Make it more unique: Get a friend to wear the same suit and re-enact that meme of two Spideys pointing at each other.
Rabbit
A costume you can reuse around Easter? Makes perfect sense.
Make it more unique: Get yourself a pocket watch and bow tie in homage to the White Rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland."
Harley Quinn
No matter what she's wearing, this Batman villain is always striking.
Make it more unique: Harley's had a variety of looks over the years, but her multi-colored hair makes her pretty recognizable.
Pirate
Who doesn't love an excuse to call their friends "matey" and say "arr" every 90 seconds?
Make it more unique: Style yourself as a movie pirate who illegally downloads films.
Cheerleader
If you're going trick or treating, a costume that requires sneakers is always a plus.
Make it more unique: Go as a ghostly cheerleader because you've got spirit, yes you do!
Cowboy
Many, many people already have everything in their closet needed to pull off this costume.
Make it more unique: Borrow John Cho's slick "Cowboy Bebop" style.
Unique costumes suggested by Google Fightgeist
If you want to stand out from the crowd, we played with the Google Frightgeist tool to get some unique recommendations you're unlikely to run into at your next Halloween party.
Zebra
If you're in the US and hear hooves, think horses not zebras. If you want a costume that's a bit more unique, zebras are ranking #589.
Cereal Killer
If you appreciate a pun, you're slightly less likely to run into another knife-wielding breakfast staple, ranked #829, than a fellow French Kiss, #800. Attach some mini cereal boxes to your shirt, grab a fake knife, and your costume is all set.
Carmen Sandiego
Ranked #554, there's a decent chance your Halloween party won't be overrun with other international criminal masterminds.
Flying Monkey
We didn't say this "Wizard of Oz" costume, which ranks #832 in Google's list, would be easy. But you'll probably give some fellow revelers flashbacks to terrible dreams they had as kids.
Green Arrow
If you want to be a superhero but not the same one as everyone else, Green Arrow is currently ranking #835. That's surprisingly even lower than Green Lantern, #720.
