“Normally this is when we would post our Halloween couples photo, but due the ongoing strike, we had to scrap our original costumes,” the couple wrote. “So, if you are out trick or treating tonight and see a very realistic Sarah Michelle and Freddie costume… it might just be us. See you next year.”

If you were unaware, the actors union recently announced that members should not wear costumes that make references to struck projects. That means that stars have to avoid dressing up as movie characters such as Barbie from this year’s hit movie.

While Sarah and Freddie decided not to go against SAG-AFTRA’s decision, one actress defied the rules.
