At this point, you’ve probably guessed that we get really into Halloween. Really into it. Even if we don’t have particular plans for the holiday, we’ll come up with some…just because we (or, okay, maybe just I) love any excuse to dress up ridiculously for a day.

The downside? When half the people at the party are wearing your totally creative, completely ingenious costume. (Everyone who’s ever dressed up as Heath Ledger’s Joker in 2008 knows exactly what I’m talking about here. Ditto for Captain Jack Sparrow in 2003, 2006, 2007 — and maybe even 2011.)

Google Frightgeist has got your back. The All Hallows Eve-inspired twist on Google’s annual trend forecaster, Zeitgeist, shows you which costumes are most popular in your area. You can also search by costume and see how likely it is that you’ll run into someone dressed just like you this Oct. 31st, and search for costume ideas that are less common.

As you can see, Harley Quinn will probably be making an appearance at EVERY party — it’s the most-searched costume in the country right now. (Psst…we came up with a way to get the look, in case you don’t care about doppelgangers.)
