October’s Most Searched: Why These People Trend Every Halloween
October’s Most Searched: Why These People Trend Every Halloween
Throughout the year, we turn to Google for answers to our burning questions. Media outlets often analyze these search trends to understand what piques people’s interest during specific times. Meanwhile, Reddit users have been known to band together to confuse search engines by looking up “October” in May, leaving future analysts puzzled. However, there’s an intriguing phenomenon where certain individuals become the subject of searches only once a year, during the autumn season when horror movies dominate our screens and Smart TVs suggest Halloween-themed content. Despite watching these films repeatedly, people seem to forget and search for the same information year after year. Let’s delve into the figures that capture the attention of Russian internet users every October and commit these details to memory once and for all.
Omri Katz
Searches for this actor’s page on Kinopoisk begin to rise in late September, peaking during the week when major networks air “Hocus Pocus.” Unfortunately, Omri Katz hasn’t been involved in any notable projects since 1993 and stepped away from the screen in the early 2000s to focus on his family. His co-stars from the film, Thora Birch and Vinessa Shaw, have more impressive filmographies, including titles like “American Beauty,” “Ghost World,” and “Eyes Wide Shut.” Interestingly, Vinessa Shaw announced her pregnancy on Instagram with a creative collage inspired by “Hocus Pocus.”
Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s unclear why this Christmas Eve-themed film has become a Halloween cult classic, but people certainly aren’t searching for Sally during the Christmas season. Some look for costumes inspired by the main character, while others seek makeup tutorials for cosplay. Popular search queries also include “Sally’s song” and “Jack’s song.” If you’re suddenly reminded of the wonderful compositions from the film, consider checking out an excellent cover by Evanescence’s Amy Lee.
Robert Rusler
Technically, it’s challenging to gather search history data for this individual because people often don’t know how to search for him. The simplest query might be “shirtless guy from A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.” His name is Robert Rusler, and he played Ron Grady, the local bully, in the second Freddy Krueger film. Apparently, his physique impressed both girls and guys. Later, Robert appeared in the adaptation of Stephen King’s “Sometimes They Come Back,” the TV series “Babylon 5,” and several other popular shows, albeit in guest roles.
Raúl Juliá
Searches for actors from “The Addams Family” clearly lead among all film-related search queries in the autumn. These characters are iconic, and films and series featuring them are watched not just during one season of the year. However, interest naturally peaks during the pumpkin season. Raúl Juliá, who played Gomez Addams, is searched for more often than other actors in this role. Sadly, the Puerto Rican actor passed away in 1994 from cancer.
Christina Ricci
The actress has appeared in numerous excellent films, TV series episodes, and voiced several noteworthy animated features. However, public interest in her peaks every October due to her portrayal of the most popular character in the saga, Wednesday Addams, which simply captivates viewers. Additionally, people tend to watch “Sleepy Hollow” and “Casper,” in which she played leading roles.
