MICHIGAN — Halloween parties in Michigan are likely to make a big comeback this year, and just like any other special occasion, you may not want to show up wearing the same outfit as 15 of your friends.

Don’t worry — Google has you covered.

Each year, Google uses trillions of searches and a trove of data to help Michigan 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.

Curious about which costumes Michigan residents are eyeing? Here’s a look at the most-searched costumes according to city:

• Top costume around Detroit: Witch
• Top costume around Flint-Saginaw-Bay City: Vampire
• Top costume around Alpena: Purge
