Happy Halloween! And if there's one thing we know is terrifying, it's the idea of the AMPTP not giving SAG-AFTRA things like fair wages. SpoooOOOOOoooOoky!
Of course, the actors' guild is still on strike and recently announced its controversial guidelines for members' Halloween costumes. It basically says, in response to member questions, that said members shouldn't dress up as characters from struck content — i.e. most movies and TV shows — and instead suggested folks refrain from posting on social media or as "generalized characters and figures."
The guidelines were met with criticism, including one viral sarcastic tweet from Ryan Reynolds which read, "I look forward to screaming “scab” at my 8 year old all night. She’s not in the union but she needs to learn." SAG-AFTRA subsequently released a statement that read, “SAG-AFTRA issued Halloween guidance in response to questions from content creators and members about how to support the strike during this festive season. This was meant to help them avoid promoting struck work, and it is the latest in a series of guidelines we have issued."
"We are on strike for important reasons, and have been for nearly 100 days. Our number one priority remains getting the studios back to the negotiating table so we can get a fair deal for our members, and finally put our industry back to work," the union continued.
So, here are some celebrities who went ahead with their movie-inspired costumes this year:
1. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly went as Beatrix Kiddo and Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill.
