Hope you weren't planning on being a pirate for Halloween this year, because that’s Atlanta’s most popular costume search according to Google.

Instead of chasing after the one of 20 Harley Quinns trick-or-treating around your neighborhood come Oct.31, check out Google's Frightgeist. This interactive map breaks down the top searched for Halloween costumes by state and city.

Nobody wants their child to show up to the Halloween party as the fourth Batman of the group, and Google Trends is here to save many from that wicked fate this Halloween.
In Atlanta, the top five Halloween costume searches are pirate, superhero, Harley Quinn, Star Wars and Batman. Below are lists of the top five Halloween costume searches in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Albany, Macon and Columbus.
