Here's what we found: Spider-Man was the most-repeated costume, showing up five different times across our lists. Captain Jack Sparrow also had a strong showing, as did Ghostface, Batman, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Big props for longevity to Morticia Addams, who showed up in 1967 and 1991.

Google says “Beetlejuice shrunken head” is the top searched shrunken head of all time. Viral break-dancer Raygun ranked second, with lots of people searching “raygun costume” as well as “green and yellow track suit” and “green track pants.”

First up: Create a standard but loveable ghost costume using the things you have in your closet. Throw on an old sheet, cut out eye holes and pair it with a fun hat and sunglasses. Take it to the next level with some vibrant socks and boOoots!
