Don't Be Afraid If You Saw A Green Goblin On The 2023 Emmys Red Carpet — Here's What Was Going On

I'm...green with envy at how well this was pulled off.

Perhaps you flipped on one of the livestreams of the 2023 Emmys red carpet and discovered...a green goblin on your screen.

But fear not! This year's Emmys wasn't taken over by any real-life ghouls. In fact, this very picture might help you figure out what the deal was, if you're a RuPaul's Drag Race fan...
