Wait, not Deadpool?! Google says Indiana's most searched Halloween costume in 2024 is this

This Halloween will likely be a sea of red and yellow thanks to Marvel's theatrical release of " Deadpool & Wolverine ."

The film opened to historic box-office records , meaning Hoosiers have scary high odds of seeing costumed revelers dressed either as Wolverine or Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Dogpool or — what the heck, it's Indiana — "Cornpool" we're sure.

Even so, the wildly popular "merc with the mouth" didn't trend for Indiana on Google Frightgeist , an annual ranking of what costumes people are searching for every Halloween.

What does Google Frightgeist say about Indiana?

Earlier this month, Google’s Frightgeist site released both its national and regional search results of popular Halloween costumes for adults, children, pets, and couples. Hoosiers living in Indianapolis, South Bend, and Evansville appeared to favor character Lydia Deetz from the new "Beetlejuice" movie, as well as a familiar scary clown from Stephen King's "IT."

Here's a look at Frightgeist's list of most popular costumes in 2024.

Top Halloween costumes in Indiana for 2024, according to Google

• Indianapolis — #1, Lydia Deetz. #2, Tinker Bell. #3, Boo (from Monsters Inc.).
• Evansville — #1, Pennywise. #2, Capybara. #3, Batman.

Top Halloween costumes in the U.S. for 2024, according to Google

1. " Shrunken Head Bob "
   • Sure, " Beetlejuice Beetlejuice " costumes will be everywhere this Halloween given the film's recent release, but is 'Shrunken Head Bob" really more popular than Michael Keaton's character? Apparently so. Google additionally reported "Beetlejuice shrunken head" is the top searched shrunken head of all time. That's, uh, nice. We're fine not knowing who earned runner up.
2. " Raygun "
   • Australian breakdancer Rachael 'Raygun' Gunn became a viral sensation during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Opinions about her performance are mixed , but plenty of people are trying to emulate her look. Search terms like "green and yellow track suit" trended high on Google. So we're guessing you'll see lots of bad breakdancing impressions come Halloween — likely from those who don't know the difference between a "power move" and "top rocking."
3. " Catnap "
   • This wide-mouthed, eerie feline purple character from the popular indie survival horror game, Poppy Playtime , is the most searched out of all the Smiling Critters. The game, available on Steam, utilizes jump scares and other creepy elements to frighten players. Online reviews from parents suggest Poppy Playtime is more suitable for teens.
4. " Delores " (from Beetlejuice)
   • The main antagonist from "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is a soul-sucking bride sporting a classy gothic look. According to Google, " fake staples " became a breakout search the day after the movie was released into theaters.
5. " Pomni "
   • Not all Halloween jesters are terrifying — some are just plain terrified. Pomni is a desperate character stuck inside a video game from the indie animated web series " The Amazing Digital Circus ," which you can find also on Netflix . Her classic court jester suit has attracted lots of searches from costume planners this year.
6. " Envy " (from Inside Out 2)
   • The release of "Inside Out 2" re-sparked interest in dressing as the emotions from the animated movies, with Envy being one of the most searched.
7. " Red " (from Descendants)
   • Centered on a series of Disney Channel musical fantasy films, a certain character from " Descendants " is receiving extra attention this year after the release of "Descendants: The Rise of Red."
8. " Dr. Doom "
   • Marvel revealed in July that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning in "Avengers: Doomsday" (2026), and "Avengers: Secret Wars" (2027) in a new role as one of Marvel's most iconic villains: Doctor Doom.
9. " Sabrina Carpenter "
   • With all the focus on Taylor Swift's Eras tour , you might have overlooked Sabrina Carpenter. Her fans didn't. Not only a pop icon but a fashion one as well, singer Sabrina Carpenter has so many fun and over-the-top looks that people are ready to don their favorites as costumes this year.
10. " Lady Deadpool "
    • There's a "Deadpool" costume for everyone, including pets . With the release of "Deadpool & Wolverine" starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, expect to see your favorite Deadpool in every iteration this Halloween.
11. " Chipotle burrito "
    • Yes, this is a thing now. Chipotle released its first-ever line of Halloween costumes, and it seems the burrito option is the winner so far, according to Google.
12. " Anger " (from Inside Out)
13. " Disgust " (from Inside Out)
14. " Wolverine "
    • Every Deadpool needs a quasi-immortal, Canadian mutant bestie for Halloween. Find yours either lurking around Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters or at your nearest costume store.
15. " Anxiety " (from Inside Out 2)
    • Oh look, it's 2024's spirt animal — Anxiety! Hollywood actress Maya Hawke portrayed the frizzy-haired Pixar character in Inside Out 2, making the search terms "orange and white striped" become a top trending search on Google.
