Yes, it's the end slate of the "Cheers" theme song. Talk about a dedicated TV fan. For reference:

Lumberjack Dexter, "Dexter"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A beard, a plastic axe, a brown flannel shirt and a dead look in your eye. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> Tomatoes for people to throw at you? Seriously, nobody likes Lumberjack Dexter.
Olive Pope & Fitz, "Scandal"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong>: A nice white outfit, a bowl of popcorn and a glass of red wine for Olivia; a suit, a red tie, an American flag pin for Fitz. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> All the Gladiators, obviously -- the more OPA problem-solvers the better -- and an awesome soul soundtrack to play as you walk into the room.
Shoshanna Shapiro, "Girls"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A sock bun, a lace-adorned or floral dress, sparkly flats and an eager enthusiasm for life. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> A Snuggie in case you decide to make Halloween a girls' night in.
Fiona, "American Horror Story: Coven"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> Fabulous black skirt, edgy black top -- basically any fabulous black clothes in general -- a stylish umbrella, Jackie O sunglasses and killer black high-heeled shoes. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> A black cat, some "magic" powers, a gaggle of young girls to teach witchcraft to.
Badger & Skinny Pete, "Breaking Bad"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> Skull caps, hoodies and douchey t-shirts, pockets-full of blue rock candy to sell. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> Laser pointers to point at people all night -- terrifying for any "Breaking Bad" fan.
Cher, "The Voice"
<strong>What You'll Need: </strong>A bunch of Muppet fur, some feathers, various colored extensions -- and that's just for the hair. Go to town on the outfit. <strong>Optional Accessories: </strong>Fishnets and some kind of revealing outfit if you want to combine Cher looks.
Selina Meyer & her bag man Gary, "Veep"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A nice dress, heels and pearls, a plastered-on smile and a short brown wig, depending on your hair; a man in a suit to carry around your bag all night, handing you lipstick and whispering in your ear. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> "Selina For President!" buttons to pass out to trick-or-treaters or fellow party-goers.
Red, "Orange Is the New Black"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A crazy maroon-red wig, glasses on a necklace, orange prison uniform and Red's chef jacket, dirtied up a bit. This one wins in two levels: comfy <em>and</em> buzz-worthy! <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> A chicken ... preferably stuffed and not live, unless you want to be on a hot chase all night.
Nick And Jess, "New Girl"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> Hipster glasses, bangs, an "adorkable" dress, doe eyes and a big smile for Jess; a hoodie and a huge frown for Nick. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> A Schmidt, a Winston and a Cece if you want trick-or-treating buddies.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter, "Hannibal"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A sharp, professorial suit (with tie and pocket square) and a vaguely ominous European accent. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> Carving knife, chef's apron and a nice chianti, or <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/01/hannibal-exclusive-bryan-fuller-season-2/" target="_blank">deer antlers and black face paint</a> if you want to go for the symbolism of the Murder Stag that haunts Will Graham's dreams.
The Big Bang Theory Boys, "The Big Bang Theory"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> The tightest pants and itchiest-looking roll-neck shirt for Howard; a geeky comic book t-shirt and long-sleeved undershirt for Sheldon; a colorful jacket and clashing sweater for Raj; tan jacket, open hoodie and nerdy science shirt for Leonard.* <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> Three ladies to make you look cooler. <em>*Note: Only acceptable if you don't dress this way the other 364 days of the year.</em>
Mindy Lahiri, "The Mindy Project"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> A very unstylish super-short wig, a pair of scrubs, some trendy shoes and accessories and a whip-smart sense of humor. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> A Pastor Casey (we're not giving up) or Danny Castellano by your side for some couple costume sexual tension.
A Red Wedding Guest, "Game of Thrones"
<strong>What You'll Need:</strong> Period costume, preferably a gown or something involving fur, a cape and chainmail; copious quantities of fake blood to splash all over yourself; white face paint for that just-murdered look. <strong>Optional Accessories:</strong> Swords and a direwolf head, if you're feeling particularly twisted.
