Need A Halloween Costume? This Is The 'Most Searched' In Detroit

Spooky season’s return often prompts eager countdowns to Halloween.

That means, among other preparations, finding the perfect costume.

Especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many people turn to the internet to browse costume options or purchase online.

So, what’s the most searched Halloween costume in Detroit?

Harley Quinn.

Most costume hunters in Detroit are at least contemplating dressing as the fictional DC Comics for Halloween this year.

They’re also not alone.

Detroit residents are in good company on a national scale. Harley Quinn ranks the third most-searched Halloween costume in the U.S. Comic Book Characters make up 9% of all costume searches, results show.

“Harley Quinn” is most often searched in:

1. New York, NY
2. Nashville, TN
3. Los Angeles, CA
4. Detroit, MI
5. Houston, TX

Many are still looking forward to Halloween, despite the unusual year.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks many traditional Halloween activities — including trick-or-treating, holding costume parties and venturing through haunted houses, to name a few — as moderate- to high-risk.

Some lower-risk alternatives include carving pumpkins, holding a virtual Halloween costume contest and decorating your home.

In Dearborn, for example, city officials have encouraged residents to ditch trick-or-treating because of COVID-19, and find alternative activities instead.

“We understand that trick-or-treating is an important tradition for many families,” Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. said in a Local4story last week. “However, maintaining public health is vital and we need to avoid spreading this deadly disease as much as possible.”
