Scream Queens quickly took over our Tuesday nights last year, and we can only assume that season two of the horror-comedy will do the same. With October 31 on its way, why not let Scream Queens take over Halloween, too? The hit Fox show has so many great looks worthy of this year's costumes, whether you're heading out with a group or going solo. Chanel Oberlin and her Kappa Kappa Tau minions and the air-headed Dickie Dollars Scholars are totally easy costumes to re-create — and if you're feeling really ambitious, you can even go as Lea Michele's sweet-yet-sinister character, Hester, or the unspeakably scary Red Devil himself. On top of that, season two's hospital-themed ensembles are really something to behold, so scroll through to get all the best Scream Queens costume inspiration you could possibly want. Don't forget to check out even more ideas from our massive pop culture costume roundup, either.

The Kappa Kappa Tau Pledges
- What to wear: Your best collegiate casualwear.
- How to act: Excited, optimistic, and full of anxiety — like any college student pledging a sorority.

Hester
- What to wear: De-glam with a multicolored windbreaker, three-wolf moon shirt, and neck brace.
- How to act: Like you're super stoked to be invited to the party, but a little awkward and sketch.

- What to wear: An oversize t-shirt with a rainbow decal layered with a printed, nonmatching sweater. Add a neck brace, and make your hair a little frizzy.
:upscale()/2016/09/13/853/n/1922283/2b4146f79e133784_s4.jpg)
- What to wear: Season two Hester ditches her neck brace for what looks like a blue (prison?) jumpsuit layered on top of a gray, long-sleeved shirt. Pair it with some navy blue slip-on shoes and you'll be good to go.

Zayday
- What to wear: Was Zayday pre-med? Regardless, season two Zayday seems to have gotten her medical license thanks to the white doctor's coat she has on over a purple suede dress, a chunky, colorful necklace, and black heels. Don't forget the matching purple gloves!
- How to act: Smart as hell, and with an abundance of clapbacks at the ready.
