- Drew Barrymore wore a costume inspired by her 2009 HBO biopic, *Grey Gardens*, on *The Drew Barrymore Show* on Halloween.

- She later changed into another look that nodded to one of her Adam Sandler rom-coms.

- At a Sabrina Carpenter concert Friday night, Barrymore disguised herself as the masked killer from her most iconic horror flick, *Scream.*

What's your favorite Drew Barrymore movie?

The newly anointed Emmy winner paid tribute to a trio of her previous flicks for a series of Halloween costumes to celebrate her favorite holiday.

To open her daytime talk show, *The Drew Barrymore Show, *on Friday, the star donned a gray dress covered in flowers for a punny spin on her 2009 HBO movie, *Grey Gardens.*

"Can anyone guess what my costume is?" she asked the studio audience. "I am wearing a lot of flowers. Where do flowers live? In a..."

The audience then shouted, "Garden!" and Barrymore confirmed that her costume was indeed *Grey Gardens*, the biopic in which she starred as Little Edie Beale alongside Jessica Lange as her mother, Big Edie Bouvier.

"Happy Halloween, everybody!" Barrymore said to open the show. "It's my favorite holiday. There's no attachments. There's no baggage. It's not like, 'Oh, boo-hoo, I don't have family and it's the holidays.'"

She continued, "Also, you just get to be the freak that you are, and that's celebrated. I wish every day was Halloween. It's just a positive holiday."

Valerie Bertinelli then joined her wearing an enormous bushy beard and a fake ceramic pot on her head — Hairy Potter, get it? — and Ross Mathews sported a pink golfing outfit and pony ears, a nod to Chappell Roan's pop anthem "Pink Pony Club."

Later, Barrymore sported a gray pantsuit with a portable blender hanging from a chain around her neck. "This is another movie I've been a part of," Barrymore teased. "Maybe you can guess it, maybe you can't."

Chef and Flour Shop founder Amirah Kassem, who herself was dressed as "Shrimp on the Barbie," observed, "You're wearing a blender."

That was good enough for Barrymore. "Yes! *Blended*!" the host replied, confirming that her costume was a reference to her 2014 rom-com with Adam Sandler.

But Barrymore saved the best for last with her disguise for a Sabrina Carpenter concert at Madison Square Garden in New York

As she introduced her song "Juno," Carpenter gazed upon a mysterious figure dressed as Ghostface from *Scream* in the audience.

"Oh my goodness, wait, you're taking my breath away," the singer said. "Who are you? Wait a second, I feel like there's someone under there."

Videos from the concert then panned to Ghostface, at which point the killer removed their mask to reveal Barrymore herself, who played the character infamously murdered by the slasher villain in the opening sequence of Wes Craven's 1996 original *Scream*.

"I love you," Barrymore could be seen mouthing to the stage upon revealing her identity.

"What is your name?" Carpenter asked, prompting the *E.T.* actress to respond, "Ghostface."

Carpenter shot back, "I'm swooning. Oh my gosh, you're just my type. You have another name?"

Barrymore then responded with her actual name.

"I love you. I love you so much," Carpenter said. "And this is, we're moving so fast —"

Barrymore then surprised the singer by removing her gloves.

"Will you do the honors of being my Halloween Juno girl?" Carpenter asked, holding out her signature pink handcuffs for the *Charlie's Angels* star. "This one's for Drew, New York."

Barrymore is the latest in a series of famed concertgoers whom Carpenter has "arrested" from the stage for being "too hot." Previous cuffed honorees have included Anne Hathaway, Millie Bobby Brown, Joe Keery, Margaret Qualley, Gigi Hadid, and Marcello Hernández as Domingo.**
