15 Halloween Costumes Pulled Straight Out of American Horror Story: Roanoke

We may only be scratching the surface of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but the past few weeks have truly opened the floodgates. In the first handful of episodes, we've met the diverse set of characters attached to the mysterious Lost Colony, and the group only seems to get bigger every week. With Halloween on fast approach, we're giving you the freshest take on your American Horror Story costumes.

01
Lee
FX

Lee

  • What to wear: A plain top, dark pants, and close-cropped dark hair. To simulate the "talking head" interview style, maybe get a solid piece of foamboard for the background, a TV "frame" to hold in front of yourself, or a camera to hand to people.
  • How to act: Constantly on the verge of tears while you tell your terrible story.
02
"Lee"
FX

"Lee"

  • What to wear: A low cut t-shirt, a badass olive green anorak coat, dangling gold earrings, and again with the close-cropped hair.
  • How to act: You have full license to be really drunk, and to take zero sh*t from anyone.
03
The Butcher
FX

The Butcher

  • What to wear: Dirty, bloody peasant clothes, and a wig of messy gray hair. Carry around a butcher's cleaver and talk in a thick, Olde-English-type accent.
  • How to act: Totally insane, and murderous, and desperate to get everyone away from you and off your property.
04
Thomasin
FX

Thomasin

  • What to wear: A old-fashioned nightgown and a big ol' scary head cage on your head.
  • How to act: This is when Thomasin's character is alive. You're scared and bewildered.
05
Shelby
FX

Shelby

  • What to wear: A simple white blouse, with long dirty-blond hair. Once again, try to find a way to simulate the "interview" setting with a backdrop, a camera, or a frame.
  • How to act: A bit odd, like maybe you're not telling the whole story.
06
"Shelby"
FX

"Shelby"

  • What to wear: High-waisted mom jeans, a loose white button-up shirt, and the most fabulous wavy blond wig you can find.
  • How to act: You're a nervous wreck. You're scared, you do lots of yoga, you love vegetables, and you're aware that everyone thinks you're crazy.
07
The Evil Spirit
FX

The Evil Spirit

  • What to wear: A long peasant dress (with some sort of bodice) and a shawl that's thick and lined with matted hair. Find a crazy-long ratty wig, and tie a pair of antlers to your forehead. For extra points: get some nasty teeth and a scalp to walk around with all night.
  • How to act: You barely speak, but there's something sinister and unsettling about you. Whisper in the ears of others and ask for them to surrender their souls.
08
Matt
FX

Matt

  • What to wear: A button-up shirt, a colored sweater, thick-rimmed glasses, and whatever else you want to attain to nail the interview setting.
  • How to act: Level-headed and calm.
09
"Matt"
FX

"Matt"

  • What to wear: Glasses and a button-up patterned shirt and slacks.
  • How to act: You have no idea what's going on, but you're freaked out and short on solutions.
10
The Evil Nurses
FX

The Evil Nurses

  • What to wear: Old-fashioned and simple nurse uniforms, completely white. Make yourself a name tag, get some pantyhose, and wear white shoes.
  • How to act: You're crazy and you're trying to kill any and all nearby old people. Work on your evil laugh.
11
Cricket the Medium
FX

Cricket the Medium

  • What to wear: First of all, you have to find that white bowl-cut wig. Add an all-black suit, a little snake-skin "doctor" bag, and a black cane with a silver handle.
  • How to act: Talk in a delicate Southern accent and pretend to commune with the dead.
12
The Pigman
FX

The Pigman

  • What to wear: Nothing but a loincloth and a nasty pig head. You got this.
  • How to act: Just, like, run around squealing wildly.
13
Dr. Elias Cunningham
FX

Dr. Elias Cunningham

  • What to wear: A worn gray suit and a dark gray beard.
  • How to act: Totally paranoid, freaked out, and frantic.
14
Flora
FX

Flora

  • What to wear: Gray leggings, a pink dress with white polka dots, and a yellow hoodie sweater.
  • How to act: Curious. Also, you have an imaginary friend, so talk to her from time to time and beg her not to kill your whole family.
15
The Hillbillies
FX

The Hillbillies

  • What to wear: Dirty, simple clothes like white tank tops, plaid shirts, army jackets, and more. You definitely need to be a little grungy.
  • How to act: Don't say much, but make sure everyone knows how much you hate them just by looking at them.
