Google predicts this year’s most common Halloween costumes

Let it go.

Let Frozen go!

That's what you'll be thinking when you see scores of Elsas, Annas and Olafs on the streets this Halloween.

The Frozen trio are among the 10 most googled Halloween costumes over the last two months, with Elsa and Olaf claiming the top two spots.

Unlike last year's TV-inspired costumes ( Breaking Bad was a popular choice for many), this year Halloween looks set to be dominated by movie characters.

The only non-movie themed costumes in the top 10 list are video game Assassin's Creed and Dog Spider, the viral YouTube sensation.

Searches for dog costumes are trending nearly 15% higher than last year, and there has been a surge in interest around pet costumes, with people looking for ways to include their pets into themed costumes for the whole family.

Whatever you choose to wear for Halloween, try not to offend anyone with tasteless ebola-themed hazmat suits or Joan Rivers costumes.
