Be Your Favorite 'AHS' Character For Halloween

When it comes to Halloween, the best costumes are the ones that combine terrific style, on-point makeup, and a little bit of horror. If you're looking for a costume that has all of the above, these American Horror Story makeup tutorials are just the thing. Whether you're looking to channel your slightly spooky side or keep it absolutely terrifying, there's a character for you.

All four seasons of AHS (and the previews for the fifth) have unveiled bone-chilling story lines and creep characters that make for the perfect Halloween costumes. It makes it so easy to combine your love of pop culture with the true spirit of the holiday — to scare the living daylights out of your friends, of course!
