Halloween

Plenty of us have fond memories of trick-or-treating as kids ... but not Hilary Duff!

We ran into her back in 2013, and our camera guy mentioned he'd received pennies when he was a kid ... prompting her to tell her own worst Halloween inedible treat story.

Kelly Osbourne's son is showing the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ... biting the head off a "bat" in an adorable new video.

Kelly took to TikTok to show her infant son, Sidney, dressed as a skeleton ... where he's seen taking a big bite out of a stuffed bat before ripping its head clean off.

Sidney's clearly proud of his work ... flashing a big smile and laughing once the head's clean off.

Donald Trump was all treats and no tricks for hundreds of kids ... who showed up in their Halloween costumes to snag some sweets from the President and First Lady at the White House.

It all went down Thursday night on the South Lawn ... with DT sporting his signature blue suit and a "USA" hat, alongside Melania in a brown coat over an orange dress -- as Michael Jackson's "Thriller" bumped in the background.

The Trumps weren't skimping on candy ... handing out full-sized Hershey bars and Twizzlers, boxed up with the presidential seal.

Janelle Monae brought the spooky season spirit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles ... dressing up as Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and spending time with patients!

Check out the photos shared by the hospital Thursday ... the musician went all-out with her costume for her special visit, during which she shared stories and painted with the kids.

And, it appears she stayed in character throughout her time at Children's Hospital L.A., making sure the Halloween vibes were in full swing.

Halloween's upon us ... which means kids are donning their costumes and their parents are whipping out their cameras to capture every second -- like these celebrities' parents did years ago!

We've compiled a series of pics showcasing celebs way before they were famous ... when they were only playing characters on Halloween instead of on stage or screen.

Check it out ... the witchy celeb on the left later played a magic-wielder on TV -- and, her songs are certainly enchanting, too. And, the little boy in the center turned into a Hollywood heartthrob ... though Seth Rogen knows you don't want to be 'Neighbors' with this Joker!

Even the celebs opt for optimal comfort when it comes to Halloween costumes ... Rockin' a onesie eliminates many reasons for a last-minute panic ...

Kelly Rowland proved the squad costume potential -- seen here sportin' "Bluey" with her kiddo. Taylor Swift remained weather-proof, captioning her onesie 'fit ... "Can’t talk right now, I’m doin hot squirrel sh*t 🐿" ... and Rob Gronkowski's may be tall, handsome and mighty, but there's no wrong age for a cow-onsie!

If Emma Stone’s on the call sheet, you already know it’s worth watching. Add Yorgos Lanthimos in the director’s chair and -- drumroll, please -- we’ve got "Bugonia"!

It’s Halloween week on "TMZ Movie Tea," and Jabeen Waheed's serving up some eerie picks -- starting with "Bugonia," where Jesse Plemons and breakout star Aidan Delbis snatch up Emma Stone’s power-CEO, convinced she’s an alien in disguise.

For extra chills, we’ve got "Hallow Road" starring Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys -- a couple jolted by a late-night call from their daughter after she hits a pedestrian ... but the drive to reach her spirals into something much darker.

The otters at Oregon Zoo were flippin' out -- dunking, dribbling, and flexing skills that might just have the NBA sweating ... and TBH, their game is pretty legit!

The zoo in Portland just dropped an IG clip of their star players -- Lincoln, Juno, and Sushi -- three sea otters casually slam-dunking jack-o’-lanterns like it was the playoffs ... and as you can see, they were total show-boaters.

The trio was launching out of the water, slamming pumpkins like pros -- they were rewarded with fishy treats -- and even nailing a worthy aerial that's straight-up epic!

According to the zoo, the otters aren’t just clowning around ... dunking’s part of their training. Usually it’s basketballs, but this time pumpkins -- seasonally appropriate -- all to keep 'em moving and keeping those little joints in top shape.

Paul Pierce has apparently gotten a driver in the wake of his recent DUI arrest ... as the NBA legend was seen getting a lift home from a party on Wednesday night.

Just eight days after he was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol ... Pierce was seen out in Beverly Hills taking the safe way home from a Halloween-themed event.

Paps caught the former Celtics star -- who was rockin' a curly wig, big chains and a zebra-print, purple jacket -- hopping into the backseat of an SUV ... after he seemed to have a good night with friends.

Naturi Naughton will be working on set through Halloween this year, but she's warning new relationships to watch for the red flags ... if their partner isn't that open to a COUPLES COSTUME!!!

TMZ linked up with Naturi at the premiere of her and Lifetime's new flick, "Friends and Lovers," where the seasoned actress gave her two cents about trick-or-treating as a team.

We totally asked the right person ... Naturi says Halloween is a big deal in her household -- and her daughter is totally PO'ed that she has to miss this year -- but her husband will hold down the fright night fort.

Turkey can wait, tinsel’s got nothing -- it’s Halloween, the ultimate howl-iday ... where celeb couples ditch the basics and dress to thrill and kill!

Now, sure, these stars take spooky season deadly serious ... but it’s all about the fun too -- so take a stab at guessing who’s behind these killer costumes, then creep through our gallery for the big reveal.

The vibes this year are dark, bold, and straight-up gothic ... case in point: the look above ... can you dig up who's behind it?

Everybody was wondering how Jay Guapo and Pink Cardigan convinced North West and Kim Kardashian to dress up as them for Halloween ... but the viral TikTokers told us they had nothing to do with it.

Jay told TMZ in Los Angeles yesterday, "It was a total shock to us."

Not just shocking ... it was unbelievable. At first, Jay thought for sure it was an A.I. fake-out. It was only when they saw it on North and Kim's official social accounts that they both believed it.

Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist welcomed a surprise guest to the stage during their 2nd sold-out Los Angeles tour date -- Anderson .Paak, who was in full Halloween spirit, dressed like the iconic maniacal doll Chucky!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Freddie and Anderson performing their "Alfredo 2" collab, "Ensalada," live for the first time ever together, inside The Novo DTLA.

As an ode to the album's Japanese theme, Freddie has been performing in karate gis to bring his lyrical slaughterhouse to life ... A.P. did it as Charles Lee Ray.

A wildly popular comedian made some waves online on Tuesday ... when he revealed he dressed up as a stabbed Mark Sanchez for a Halloween party.

Benedict Polizzi -- an "FBoy Island" star who boasts 3.7 million followers on TikTok -- shared the 'fit on his Instagram page ... and it raised more than a few eyebrows.

Check it out -- Polizzi donned a No. 6 Sanchez Jets jersey ... complete with fake blood splattered all over his torso. He adorned the costume with some football pads, a pigskin and eye black.

The NFL isn't messing around this Halloween season ... with teams hosting extravagant parties left and right -- and the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles were no exception.

Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown gave his followers a look at a bunch of outfits his teammates rocked for their bash Tuesday night ... and they ranged from basic 'fits to some pretty creative ones.

Jahmyr Gibbs dressed up as one half of Team Extreme -- Jeff Hardy, who actually just lost his NXT Tag Team Titles with his brother Matt last weekend. Nevertheless, he proudly got into character.

North West is getting into the Halloween spirit ... dressing up as one of Gen Z's most beloved content creators ... none other than Kai Cenat.

North nails the look ... rocking a fake goatee and facial hair, plus a dreadlock wig with the perfect lineup.

She tops it off with a gray blazer and maroon tie ... mimicking Kai’s signature fit from his live-streamed creator bootcamp, “Streamer University.”
