Transcript of the video edition
Halloween is Saturday. So what is everyone being this year?
One search study ranks K-pop Demon Hunters first. People looked up those costumes about two hundred thousand times a month.
Spirit Halloween also lists Toy Story 5 and the show Off Campus as big interests. Netflix even made official costumes for adults, kids and pets.
For adults, that study also has Pennywise and Dolly Parton near the top. A scary clown and a country legend.
Costume trends follow whatever movie everyone watched. Last year, the same K-pop movie topped Google’s costume searches.
These reports show what people search for, not exact sales. So, what are you going to be?
