Don’t worry — Google has you covered.

Each year, Google uses trillions of searches and a trove of data to help California residents pick out the perfect Halloween costume. Finding it — or knowing which costumes to avoid — is as easy as visiting Frightgeist, the tech company’s website showcasing the most-searched Halloween costumes nationwide and in every state, according to Google Trends.
