Halloween is this weekend, a holiday that has morphed in recent years from a time to take the kiddos trick-or-treating into a candy and partying occasion for all ages.

Most gatherings this weekend require a costume, whether an ironic pun-based one or your favorite superhero. But what are the most popular?

Website Frightgeist worked with Google to see which costume ideas were the most searched in the weeks leading up to Halloween.

With the resurgence of superhero movies in the last several years it comes as no surprise that in most parts of the state costumes of Batman, villain Harley Quinn, and other superheroes topped the list.
