These Four Kids Dressed Up as the Cast of 'Schitt's Creek' and It's Like We're Back at the Rosebud Motel

If you're still looking for a Halloween costume, we've got the perfect inspiration for you. There's only one problem: It'll be tough for anyone trying a Schitt's Creek-inspired look to beat the four children in this photo.

A photo shared on Twitter by designer Lauren Mancke features four kids dressed as the Schitt's Creek family, and they absolutely killed it. Alexis, David, Moira and Johnny Rose are channeled in their full glory, with perfect outfits and even a bit of character from the kids posing as them. (It's not clear if these kids really have any idea who they're dressed as, but we're willing to set that aside.)

Starting on the lefthand side of the photo, a boy dressed as Johnny wears a suit, bow tie and one important feature: enhanced eyebrows, to match actor Eugene Levy's. Moira is up next with a garbage bag dress over a white turtleneck, lots of jewelry and statement sunglasses. The tiny Moira also added some flair for the photo by putting her hand on her head in a move so true to the matriarch's personality, we could almost believe it was really Moira herself.

David's signature lightning bolt sweater and Kurt Cobain-inspired bubble glasses are up next, followed by the sweetest Alexis we've ever seen. Her tulle skirt and feathered hat make her equally as fashionable as the rest, but she still sticks out, true to Alexis' sense of independence.

2020 is the perfect year for the costume, given the show aired its final season in the spring. That hasn't kept Schitt's Creek off of fan's minds, though. The last episodes were just uploaded to Netflix, and it also swept (!) the comedy categories at the Primetime Emmy Awards in September.

If you're hoping the cast members of Schitt's Creek will notice the top-tier costumes, we've got good news for you. Sarah Levy, who played Twyla on the show, commented on the Instagram post with three clapping emojis. The Schitt's Creek account responded, too, calling the group costume "brilliant."

There's so much more to be discovered on Mancke's social accounts. Throughout the month of October, the family is doing one costume per day. Some of the other pop culture themes they've debuted thus far include the cast of Friends, Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World and characters from Pixar's Inside Out. For Friends, there's even an entire theme song music video.

There will be plenty of fresh costume content from the kids as October moves forward, too. Each day, a new costume inspiration is uploaded for Mancke's 20,000 followers.
