From our social media analysis of the Halloween, the hardest part about this holiday is picking out which Halloween costumes to or not to wear. There are millions to choose from, and you have to make sure to pick the right costume for the right setting, which obviously depends on your Halloween plans.

Do you want to pick a common Halloween costume? Do you want to dress up as your favorite political figure? Or do you want to dress as a 2015 trendy character? These are questions that participants of this holiday are asking themselves. We wanted to know what costume people were choosing to wear based on their social media discussions. Therefore, we looked at the data, here are the results:

Without the help of our social listening tool, needless to say, we might have spent all nighters finding the right costume.
