Who is googling Halloween, Trick or Treat?

Check out a Google Maps + Google Trends mashup I had created couple of weeks ago. It shows top 10 cities where the search is originating from. Since today is Halloween let's take a look at who is searching for Halloween:



and who is searching for Trick or Treat?

Creepiest Places in the World

Since Halloween is around the corner, wanted to mention a Google Maps Mashup I created about a year ago which shows the World's most creepiest places. Topping the list at the time was Bhangarh, India. The data source of this mashup is concierge.com.

Trick or Treating? Map your path with Google Maps and be safe.

Plan to go Trick or Treating on October 31st? then map out your path with Google Maps. Head over to maps.google.com (My Maps) and plot out your route by placing icons to mark important stops along the way and share it with others (by turning the collaborate feature on) so that they can contribute too. Another neat thing you can do is turn on the Street View feature to make sure that there are side walks. (via Google LatLong Blog).

The World's Creepiest Places

Just in time for Halloween, here's a Google Maps View of World's Creepiest Places. The list includes:

Bhangarh, India. Quoting Concierge.com

Legend has it that after a convoluted series of events involving a princess and a jar of enchanted oil, a massacre occurred and the town was never repopulated.

Mütter Museum, Philadelphia. Quoting Concierge.com

From the sliced human head floating in a glass case, à la Damien Hirst, to the gruesome collection of preserved presidential tumors and a plaster cast of Siamese twins Chang and Eng (as well as their actual conjoined livers), Philadelphia's Mütter museum is a must-see, especially for those who found the movie Dead Ringers oddly compelling.
