Halloween Costumes for the Pop Culture Obsessed: These Scream 2026
Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie took on a different kind of heated rivalry.
While their Heated Rivalry characters Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov may be a major contender for the Halloween costume of 2026—Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are just one pair who picked up their hockey sticks—the costars took a possibly more alien approach to their spooky season inspiration. Channeling their inner Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, Storrie and Williams dressed up as Michelle Fuller and Teddy Gatz from the 2025 movie Bugonia.
For his part, Williams took on Plemons’ role as conspiracy theorist Teddy, who kidnaps Michelle over this belief that she’s really an alien. (As for whether that’s true, we won’t spoil that here.) Storrie, perhaps making a subtle reference to the outcry following his recent haircut, transformed into Michelle.
After all, Michelle undergoes a similar hair change in Bugonia, with Teddy revealing he shaved her head to prevent her from contacting the mothership.
However, that wasn’t a problem at all for Storrie—or Williams—as they were more than able to contact the mothership during their Halloween celebrations. During their night out, the actors reunited with Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid.

She also seemingly got the kidnapper costume—and cheeky subtext—memo dressing up as Misery’s Annie Wilkes. (And as a best-selling novelist herself Reid didn’t even need a Paul Sheldon to complete the look.)
Referencing a 2016 meme, Reid wrote alongside the pic on her Instagram Stories, “Don’t ever talk to me or my sons again.”
And though Reid, Williams and Storrie told a more cinematic approach to their Halloween costumes, François Arnaud didn’t have to look far for his 2026 look. The actor behind Scott Hunter put down his new Stanley Cup and picked up the apron, giving fans a glimpse at what the show would have looked like if he had played Kip Grady (Robbie G.K.)
Posing in front of a bathroom mirror in a backwards cap and Kip’s Straw+Berry apron, Arnaud gave his onscreen love a special shoutout, writing on his Instagram Stories ahead of the holiday, “don’t have @robsgk’s abs so I got the apron.”

It's certainly a pirates' life for the Hitch star who detailed her transformation, presumably completed by her and Ryan Gosling's two daughters.
"I guess I’m a zombie pirate or a dirty pirate," she quipped on Instagram. "Happy Halloween."

"Why have you shaved off my hair?" may have been the question Michelle (Emma Stone) asks Teddy (Jesse Plemons) in Bugonia but Storrie certainly used the remark to his favor in a cheeky reference to the reaction over his shorter 'do for Heated Rivalry season two.

A different kind of rivalry. The Heated Rivalry costars traded the hockey rink for a bunker playing the central Bugonia duo—with Storrie taking on CEO Michelle who is kidnapped by conspiracy theoriest Teddy (Williams) who believes she's an alien.
