Whether your costume is naughty or nice this year, it can be tough to think of the perfect getup. If you're in Delaware and leaning toward the dark side, here's some inspiration in the form of the most dastardly movie icons.

The team at Shane Co. used Google Trends to analyze the search volume of both live-action and animated movie villains over the past five years.  With this information they determined the most popular movie villains in every state. Here's what they found:

  • Delaware's most popular live-action villain is Dr. Octopus from Spiderman!
  • Peter Pan's Captain Hook — the most searched Disney villain!
  • The Dark Knight's Joker is the #1 live-action villain, most searched in nine states, followed by Hannibal Lecter and Bane.
  • The top searched animated villain is Scar from Lion King, most popular in 7 states, followed by the Queen of Hearts (6 states) and Ursula (4 states).
  • Comic-book villains ranked the highest: DC movie villains won in 13 states, while Marvel movie villains (the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Thanos) won in five states. Star Wars villains Kylo Ren and Darth Vader were the most popular in two states.
