In 1978, Halloween made us afraid of Halloween. Now 40 years later, Micheal Myers is back on October 19th and we will not be sleeping again for another 40 years.
The first trailer is out for the final movie in the franchise and even in the daylight, it is terrifying. So terrifying, I will be sleeping with my closet door open for now on.
That and I will be waiting to see it until at least November 1st because I still want to go Trick or Treating with my friends’ kids and not be afraid of every little sound I hear as we knock on strangers’ doors. I will be more scared on Halloween night and I am the one who scares them.
From the neck down, Jessica Simpson looked just like she did 12 years ago when she starred in Dukes of Hazzard, but from the neck up she looked 12 years older. That is because she dressed as Country Music legend Willie Nelson, beard and all for Halloween.
So you could say that is a hot and not costume. Unless you are into bearded women.
Back when Lady Gaga was just 4 years old, a little movie called Edward Scissorhands came out; and now nearly 27 years later, she dressed up as the lead character from the Tim Burton film. She looked so convincing in the costume that even Johnny Depp would think he was looking into a mirror. If that mirror had a clock that could turn back time.
If you thought that Pennywise was scary in It, he ain’t got nothing on a 6′8″ basketball player dressed as the murdering clown. LeBron James is the King of Halloween with the creepy smile that will haunt our nightmares until next Halloween. This look is scarier on him, then when he left Cleveland for Miami. Too soon?
Every year, the anchors of Today dress up for Halloween and this year they went as some of Country Music’s biggest stars! Carson Daly showed off his Achy Breaky Heart as and with Billy Ray Cyrus. I wonder if Al Roker got a contact high dressed as Willie Nelson, braided pig tails and all. Megyn Kelly felt like woman looking like Shania Twain. Blake Shelton was seeing double in Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford was the judge of her co-anchor. That’s right the latter was ready for a Party in the USA as Miley Cyrus. Finally, it was time for the King and Queen of Country to do Islands in the Stream. The curtain came down for Matt Lauer as Dolly Parton and Savannah Guthrie as Kenny Rogers.
And with all of that, can someone explain why no went as Reba McIntyre? If you are going to have her host the hoe down, then there has to be some ho at Today who is down to play her!
