Top 10 trending & scariest Halloween costumes for 2024

I can predict with pretty good accuracy what Halloween costumes are going to be popular for 2024. It's not because I am a fortune teller or can predict the future either. It's because the Google Trends Team released Halloween-related search data and any fool knows that if people are searching for costumes, it's because they intend to dress up as whatever they searched. I thought I would share the top 10 trending costumes this year for two reasons.

Reason No. 1: Sharing so that you can be inspired and pick a costume idea that resonates from the list. Reason No. 2: Sharing so you can buck the trends if you don't want to spot too many other people in the same costume as you. Both totally valid reasons. And so, I present to you the top 10 Halloween costumes this year in descending order, because a countdown is always more exciting than a count up.

New York Comic Con 2024 - Day 1

When the movie Deadpool & Wolverine came out on July 22, 2024, “lady Deadpool costume” became a breakout search, according to the Google Trends Data Team. The movie was a huge hit, so it makes sense that it would get a lot of representation during Halloween.

You might have to do a DIY version, if you don’t already have the costume.

All the people who started searching early for their Lady Deadpool costumes were smart to do so because at this point, it is hard to find a ready-to-wear option for purchase at a reasonable price. It was sold out everywhere I looked or it could not be delivered in time for Halloween.

9. Sabrina Carpenter in a heart corset is inspiring many.

2024 Governors Ball

Google Trends reports that "‘heart corset’ is being searched more than ever in 2024, and Sabrina Carpenter is the top person searched with it." She wore a yellow corset with a heart cutout to the 2024 Governors Ball in New York on June 8.

She's worn heart cutout corsets on multiple occasions, and you could make your own.

@makeitjess I made this the day of the show! Supplies: I used things that I already had at home which were either from Amazon or the Dollar Store. - Rhinestones - Wax Rhinestone Pen - Contact Cement Glue (super messy) - Hot Glue Gun - Plastic Heart Cookie Cutter - Black Corset Instructions: - Cut the extra plastic part off the cookie cutter so you have just the heart stencil left - Flip your corset inside out & measure/mark where the heart should go - Hot glue the heart stencil onto the corset with the smooth side glued down - Cut out the extra fabric in the centre of the heart but leave strips near the shape - Fold the extra fabric strips over and glue them *tightly* to the back of the heart cookie cutter - Using contact cement glue, glue different sized rhinestones all of the corset using a wax rhinestone pen - Careful! The glue is messy! So I put it on the corset slowly with a q-tip #sabrinacarpenter @Sabrina Carpenter @Team Sabrina #concertfit #diyfashion #shortnsweet ♬ Bed Chem - Sabrina Carpenter

Social media is full of tutorials that show you how to create your own version of a Sabrina heart corset. I opted to share this one because it seems to be a rather quick project.

Anaheim Exteriors And Landmarks - 2023

In case you are unfamiliar, Doctor Doom is a Marvel supervillain. His powers include summoning demons, teleportation, dimension-hopping, and the ability to control the weather. His top power is his superhuman intelligence.

I found this Doctor Doom masked costume hoodie option.

So easy to zip or unzip when you no longer need to be Doctor Doom and just want to be a regular person in a hoodie.

7. Red from 'Descendants' has been searched for a lot.

According to Google Trends, "'who is red the daughter of in descendants' is a top searched question for Descendants: The Rise of Red this year." The movie came out on July 12, 2024.

This Red costume is a ready-to-wear option.

6. Envy from 'Inside Out' is quite in demand.

Do you know what envy means because apparently, "What does envy mean?" is the top question searched for regarding Envy from Inside Out 2 this year. Merriam-Webster defines envy as "painful or resentful awareness of an advantage or possession enjoyed by another and the desire to possess the same thing."

I found this Envy wig option.

5. Pomni costume searches reached an all-time high this year.

Pomni is the protagonist in The Amazing Digital Circus, an Australian adult indie animated web series. Pomni is a human trapped in a digital world. In that world, she looks like a pale jester and is trying to find her way out.

This red, blue, and yellow jester costume fits the bill.

  • Includes jumpsuit, hat, gloves, and shoe covers. Please check the size chart before placing your order
  • Made of quality polyester fabrics, which is soft and lightweight, for comfortable wear

4. Delores from 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' is having a moment.

The day after Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was released "fake staples" became a breakout search. Delores, played by Monica Bellucci, is Beetlejuice's ex-wife who has to reassemble herself by stapling her body parts back together.

No staples wasted in this Delores makeup tutorial.

I mean why go to the trouble of finding fake staples to attach to yourself when you can just cleverly create them out of makeup? And they come right off with a good makeup remover.

3. Catnap is the most-searched Smiling Critter of all time.

Smiling Critters are plushies with oversized mouths and gigantic smiles. Catnap is a purple cat character that can put the other characters to sleep. He's considered an antagonist.

I found these Catnap-inspired PJs you can nap in all year long.

This super cute Smiling Critters collection one-piece costume is full of fun and beautifully embroidered with a big yellow moon zipper trim, perfect for its lovers and a satisfying Halloween gift.

2. Raygun is definitely going to be breaking this Halloween.

Raygun represented Australia in the breakdancing competition at the 2024 Olympics. She did not medal, but she certainly left a lasting impression. Google Trends reports that people searching "Raygun costume" are also searching for "green and yellow track suit" and "green track pants."

Go thrifting.

I couldn't really find any costume options that could be delivered on time, so maybe head to your local thrift store and see if you can find a green and yellow tracksuit or maybe just give Raygun a break and pick something else. Pobrecita. I feel bad for her and at this point the joke is getting old.

1. Shrunken Head Bob tops the list of costume searches.

In case you were wondering "Beetlejuice shrunken head" is the top searched shrunken head of all time. I mean, I guess being a shrunken head in a Hollywood movie means you are famous and have fans.

If you're up for the challenge, here's a DIY shrunken head Bob costume tutorial.

I'm not going to say it's going to be a fast project, but it is pretty cool and will give you lots of bragging rights at the office water cooler. According to the YouTube description, "It’s easy to make and sure to turn heads!"
