The Film Experience

by Nathaniel R

Octavia Spencer announced on Halloween that she'd be dressing up as an actor "instead of a cat with boobs."That's a perfect nonsense funny to make while sharing a photoshopped portrait of yourself, don'cha think?! But the girls who won Halloween on the internet were these three adorables in this widely circulated photo of Hidden Figures costumes. Little mini Tarajis, Octavias, and Janelles, yaaas.

Some celebrities actually did dress up for the holiday -- and not for an acting job -- this holiday so we're sharing the pics we could find. Patricia Clarkson, Zoe Kravitz, Samuel L Jackson, Busy Phillips, Kristen Bell and many more after the jump...

No one is listening to my songs. #hedwigandtheangryinch

Kristen Bell actually went as Elsa from Frozen which must have felt like a betrayal Haha

Ariel Winter (from Modern Family) doing Leeloo from The Fifth Element

It was time... This Halloween I thought I should respond to the comparisons with Disney Pixars biggest bully next door and go as Sid from Toy Story! In addition to having a laugh at my expense I wanted to try and raise some attention for a cause I am an ambassador for! @antibullyingpro As this month is Bullying Prevention Month in the USA and Antibullying Week in the U.K. is just around the corner, I would really appreciate it if you could please give them a follow before you like or share and help support the cause to make school a safer and happier place for young people Thank you! 🔍 @antibullyingpro #Happyhalloween #Antibullying

Will Poulter, being a good sport, went as the awful animated character he's often been compared to!

Singer Jhene Aiko went as Dorothy Dandridge (!) and Samuel L Jackson as a cardinal

Kelly Sawyer and a pregnant Jessica Alba went as Paulie and Juno from Juno

Bette Midler did a Marie Antoinette or thereabouts, but greener.
