Empire is on fire right now, with the hit TV show back for season four. We're so obsessed that we can't imagine a better way to pay tribute to the Lyon clan than by dressing up as them for Halloween. You can even get a whole group together for an epic costume featuring the family who harmonizes together but hardly lives in harmony.
