Oh, Umbrella Academy, how you mess with our heads: What’s the deal with Hargreeves?(Nobody knows.) Wait, is Cha Cha played by Mary J. Blige? (Sure is.) And is this whole show based on a graphic novel by…the lead singer of My Chemical Romance? (Indeed.) In honor of the third season’s release earlier this year, you’re morally obligated to dress up as a member of the team. Whether that’s a Sparrow or Umbrella, that’s your call.

The only thing that’s certain is that anyone who’s seen the show will rush to spend the rest of whatever Halloween party you’re at chatting about theories, conspiracies and who-to-ship ahead of season four’s release.
