It may be a Jokerless Halloween in Hollywood this year
As SAG-AFTRA’s strike continues through the fall, the actors union is preparing for Halloween. Since Halloween is typically the time of year when celebrities load up their Instagrams with photos of themselves dressing as other actors’ characters, SAG-AFTRA is encouraging striking workers to dress in anything other than costumes inspired by struck work.
This could also mean things like hammers, water bottles, or even products that have yet to be turned into cinematic universes, like Wet Wipes. If one simply has to dress as Barbie or even Barbenheimer, SAG-AFTRA gets it. The union simply requests that Barbies and Kens not post photos on social media, which defeats the whole point of Halloween, but hey, no one ever said strikes were easy. Trick-or-treaters can also dress up as characters from non-struck work, like animated TV shows.
