Georgia's Most Popular Halloween Costume: According To Google

Dressing up for Halloween just got a little more tech savvy. Google recently released a list of the Halloween costumes people are searching for the most this year in the United States, and Georgia's favorite spooky get-up is none other than Pennywise the clown, from the blockbuster movie, "IT."

The horrifying clown comes from Steven King's classic, bestselling novel of the same name.

Google teamed up to present the data with Frightgeist, an interactive Halloween website powered by Google Trends. For the state-by-state breakdown of the most popular Halloween costumes, the two companies looked at only the top-searched terms during September.

Georgia loves scary clowns and so does the rest of the country. IT was the most searched Halloween costume nationwide.

IT was the lead halloween costume searched in 15 states, with the always classic witch coming in second at 11 and dinosaur in third with eight states. Fortnite was the most searched Halloween costume in two states.

For those looking to celebrate the spooky holiday with their special someone, Lilo and Stitch, Bonnie and Clyde, and Cosmo and Wanda were the three most searched couples’ costumes. Google made sure to remember our furry four-legged family members too, but you might not like what it found: The most popular dog costume was a Chucky doll outfit.

In the cutest data result, the top trending search option for baby costumes was a banana.
