    Great post! You could also search what is the most popular by which location:

    Anchorage, Alaska: Rabbit
    Atlanta: Spider-Man
    Boston: Dinosaur
    Chicago: Stranger Things
    Dallas: Dinosaur
    Detroit: Witch
    Honolulu: Maui (character from the Disney movie, Moana)
    Houston: Witch
    Las Vegas: Stranger Things
    Los Angeles: Spider-Man
    Miami: Rabbit
    Nashville, Tennessee: Dinosaur
    New Orleans: Witch
    New York: Fairy
    Philadelphia: Rabbit
    Phoenix: Dinosaur
    Pittsburgh: Pirate
    Portland: Fairy
    Seattle: Witch
    Washington, D.C.: Dinosaur

    Movies and TV shows will definitely have a huge impact on trending Halloween costumes as you indicated above.

    Surprisingly the most searched Google costume overall is a Witch costume. So even with the trends coming out its good to know the classics will always be popular.

    Also of note, people like to put costumes on their pets. That might be a good upsell if for example you have a trending costume like Stranger Things for the customer and another Stranger Things costume for their pet!

    Anyone still looking to identify a Halloween strategy should probably leave it until next year.

      Considering today (Saturday) is usually when people have their Halloween Parties. In this area, the forecast is for rain on Monday (31st). Some places have already switched to have trick or treating tomorrow. I would say it's too late for this information to be posted. Unlike last year when the Black Friday sales were posted on Cyber Monday ;>)

        Campaigns targeting fixed holidays are best planned months in advance - especially when promoting physical products.

        I suppose one benefit of this thread might be to remind people to be on the lookout soon for Halloween costumes from this year at knock-down prices ready for next time.
