“A Little Powder and a Little Paint”: How Halloween-Loving Celebrities Are Safely Celebrating This Year
  Oct 29, 2020   admin   Interviews

Hollywood Reporter – Spooky season is looking a lot different this year. Haunted houses have been replaced with drive-thru experiences, pumpkin festivals have been cancelled or severely reduced in capacity, and trick-or-treating is being discouraged in many areas, including Los Angeles County and even banned in Beverly Hills. The social holiday is adapting to social distancing, and these Halloween-loving celebrities have had to rethink their annual plans.

Katherine McNamara, star of the CW’s Shadowhunters and CBS’ upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Stand, is a champion of One Voice, an organization that usually prepares bags of holiday food but will be turning donations into grocery gift cards this year, as the holiday season approaches. The actress is also a big fan of costumes and horror movies, and this year has been doing what she calls “reverse trick or treating.”

“Whether I’m at home or on set, I always try to do something [for Halloween],” McNamara says. “Baking is kind of a therapy for me, it’s very nostalgic and comforting, so I bake a bunch of cookies and put them in a little bag and drop them off at the end of driveways for my friends and family.”
