What creators see from the inside

We asked creators what their subscribers actually request every October.

“Halloween is my favourite month. I’ve already decorated my house and start getting my subscribers excited about it in September. I always aim to post Halloween-themed content every single day in October.”

— Alix Lynx

“Nobody had actually requested it, I just decided to do it, but my subscribers went wild for it. I filmed a full video dressed as Daphne and they absolutely loved it.”

— Annie Knight

“Subscribers seem to really, really love clown content. It always does really well for other people, so I think I’m gonna try to tap into that.”

— Kit Barrus

Methodology

Search volumes are based on OnlySearch first-party search data from the most recent 60-day period. Halloween seasonality is based on autumn 2025 search behavior across a dataset of 17.3 million searches recorded between April 2025 and September 2026; one anomalous week (commencing October 20) was excluded from seasonality calculations. Creator counts from OnlyLocate’s census of recently active creators.
