This look is definitely the most chilling of the bunch, and if you’re looking for a Halloween costume that’s actually scary, consider this one down below.

Xavier in American Horror Story: 1984 (Cody Fern)
For a costume that’s both repping American Horror Story and the fantastically outrageous fashion of the 1980s, any looks from the season 1984 will do. We’ve chosen to highlight Xavier Plympton, played by Cody Fern, who rocks some of the most colorful looks of this installment. As an aerobics teacher at Camp Redwood, this is to be expected!
