Mandy Moore slams SAG-AFTRA over strict Halloween costume rules: ‘Is this a joke?’

Time to trash your “Barbie”-pink dresses and “Oppenheimer” hats, because SAG-AFTRA isn’t having it this Halloween.

Mandy Moore has slammed the guild’s recent Halloween costume rules, as the actor’s union has created guidelines for striking performers who want to dress up as film or TV characters this year for the spooky holiday.

The “Chasing Liberty” actress, 39, took to social media Thursday to blast the union.

Alongside an article of the costume ban posted by Variety, Moore wrote on her Instagram Stories: “Is this a joke? Come on SAG-AFTRA.”

“This is what’s important? We’re asking you to negotiate in good faith on our behalf,” she went on.

Moore continued: “So many folks across every aspect of this industry have been sacrificing mightily for months. Get back to the table and get a fair deal so everyone can get back to work. Please and thank you.”

SAG-AFTRA detailed their rules for Oct. 31 in a blog post on their website.

“Choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures (ghost, zombie, spider, etc.),” the guild suggested, adding that popular costumes from projects such as “Wednesday,” “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” should not be shared on social media.

They recommended that members should “celebrate Halloween this year while also staying in solidarity” with the ongoing actors’ strike.

They noted that the reason to not post costumes online is to not give studios publicity.

Back in July when the strike first began, Moore was on the picket lines and told the Hollywood Reporter  how she was paid very little when viewers watched her hugely successful NBC drama “This Is Us.”

The “Candy” singer played Rebecca Pearson on the series from 2016 to 2022, and revealed to the outlet that she’s received checks for as little as a penny to 81 cents for residual streaming payments.

“The residual issue is a huge issue,” she sighed. “We’re in incredibly fortunate positions as working actors having been on shows that found tremendous success in one way or another.”

She pointed out: “But many actors in our position for years before us were able to live off of residuals or at least pay their bills.”
