Since Game of Thrones is heading into its final handful of episodes, there's no time like the present to represent Westeros on Halloween. And let's be real: you could dress up as the icky, sleazy Lannisters or one of the show's other villains, but, well, Winter is coming. We're setting our sights on one of the most noble and beloved (and tragic) houses in the Seven Kingdoms: House Stark. From the first season all the way up to season six, here's how to fight for Winterfell on All Hallows' Eve.

Jon Snow, as King of the North
- What to wear: An all-black outfit: black pants, boots, long-sleeved shirt. Layer some dark lightweight armor on top (get creative), and don't forget the man bun!
- How to act: Like you've seen some sh*t but you're ready to take the Iron Throne.

Sansa Stark
- What to wear: The latest iteration of Sansa involves long dresses, a side braid, and lots of fur.
- How to act: Like no man can tell you what to do, and you're ready to kick some ass if anyone tries to. Be fierce.

Arya Stark, as a Braavosi Girl
- What to wear: Style in Braavos is very bohemian, so track down a flowy peasant blouse, a long skirt, and a cool vest. Add the hair buns and tiny sword for impact.
- How to act: Like you're on a top-secret mission that may or may not involve murder.

Bran Stark
- What to wear: Bran's been north of the wall for quite some time, so dress warm. We're talking lots of fur and layers.
- How to act: Since Bran is crippled, you get to lie around a lot. And don't forget to spend some time "warging" with your eyes rolled back into your head.

Robb Stark
- What to wear: Fake armor and dark-colored clothing with a fake fur jacket. Wield a toy sword.

- How to act: Precocious and confident.

Jon Snow, Just After Resurrection
- What to wear: Nothing but a loincloth and the pallor of a man who's been dead for a few days.
- How to act: Um, like you just woke up from being dead for a few days. You know, excited, but also kind of disillusioned by the nothingness? Like that.

Rickon Stark
- What to wear: Very raggedy furs and other various warm layers. Rickon's been out on the run for a long time, so make sure to get that moppy hair and add dirt to your face.
- How to act: Like you're scared for your life.

Young Ned Stark
- What to wear: Make your fake armor a little more old-school, and if you can, get that luscious long hair going too.
- How to act: Brave and determined, like someone else's life is on the line and you're the only one who can save them.

Catelyn Stark
- What to wear: A high-necked dress with a long coat over it. Wear a long red wig in a braid.
- How to act: Fierce and determined. Worry aloud about your children.

Jon Snow, as a Wildling
- What to wear: Before he gets betrayed and murdered by the Night's Watch, Jon Snow is a little more unkempt. The most important part is that big fur jacket; cover it in snow for extra effect. Then add the gloves, the under armor, the long hair, and the sword!
- How to act: Brave and noble. You're always trying to do the right thing.

Benjen "Cold Hands" Stark
- What to wear: A cozy black fur ensemble with your hair or wig pulled halfway back. Wear some bluish face makeup to look semidead and very cold.
- How to act: Strong, quiet, and mysterious.

Arya Stark, as a Blind Beggar
- What to wear: A very ragged shawl, and other ragged clothes. Try to find contacts that will white out your eyes, and add a bowl or a staff as an accessory.
- How to act: Well, blind. Feel your way around, and bump into things. More than that, though, you're kind of hopeless and defeated.

Ned Stark
- What to wear: Much like the other Stark men, Ned wears heavy-duty armor and fur and wields a magnificent sword. Set him apart with the long, half-up hairdo.
- How to act: You're the patriarch of the family, so be strong and brave and try to take care of everyone else.
