For an actor who has spent most of his career in masks, Halloween makes a slightly different impression on Mr. Jones. “When I get home to Los Angeles for Halloween, I love going to faraway costume parties. flowers created by many companies create organizational effects. “worked with”, he said HollywoodLife about their October traditions. “I can’t compete, so I just wear something silly with a perforated line, like the time I sewed an American flag down the face of a piece of silver cloth, made an eagle out of raw aluminum foil for me. my head, and call myself a flagpole. With my skinny height, people immediately giggled.”

Doug Jones’s Halloween’s Playlist Picks

Bobby “Boris” Pickett and Crypt-Kickers, “The Monster Mash”

Doug: It has nostalgia for me as one of the first songs to come out of my personal Halloween season with spooky giggles as a kid.

Michael Jackson, “Thriller”

I was only a few years younger than MJ, and we all wanted to sing and dance like him back then. Little did I know that watching him transform into a werewolf in that music video would herald my career ahead. add Vincent Pricevocals of the mix, and that song always marks the chill of the season!

Bette Midler, “I put a spell on you”

I have the privilege of being in my room Bette [Midler] filmed that stage performance for the first time A trick and it’s been the funniest, funniest song to mark the Halloween season for me ever since.

(Editor’s Note: Since Bette’s performance of the song Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was not included in the original A trick soundtrack or the like, it’s not available on streaming as of October 2022. In response to Mr. Jones’ request – at least until Disney decides to put the song on Spotify/Tidal – we I will include “The witches are back” are from Hocus Pocus 2 soundtrack and a performance version of Bette, performed by drag performer Ginger Minj.

HollywoodLife: When someone says “Halloween”, what is the first thing that pops into your mind from the past?

My first immediate memory is of trick or treat around age 6, absorbing inside a store-bought plastic mask with an elastic band around the head and a baggy outfit, Smoothly tied at the back of my neck goes over my own clothes. I think I’m a lion, and I love the idea that no one in the neighborhood will know it’s me when I name my young son “Rawrrr” as if I owned the forest.

What do you think is the most popular Halloween costume this year? and what SHOULD be?

Well, this year with the release of “Hocus Pocus 2”, I think the group’s outfit is Sanderson sisters and Billy Butcherson will be everywhere. And since I played Billy in the movie, I’m definitely hoping for this.

Do you have any special traditions on October/Halloween?

When I get home to Los Angeles for Halloween, I enjoy attending lavish costume parties organized by various creature effects companies I’ve worked for. The costumes and makeup in such a room are often original by the most talented artists in the world. I can’t compete, so I just wear something silly with a hole punch, like the time I sewed an American flag down the face of a silver cloth, made a raw aluminum foil eagle for the head. mine, and call myself a flagpole. With my skinny height, people immediately giggled.

If you had the budget and the freedom to do anything, what horror movie would you star in? You can remake any past movie or you can create your own.

Well, my answer to this answer actually came true! I’ve always wanted to play the vile vampire, the Nosferatu classic, and it’s actually happening in a remake that combines the setting of the original silent film and sets us up with newly added actors. numbers with dialogue and sound. It’s a dream come true for me to mark this off my bucket list and it will be made public very soon, before the other is announced recently. Nosferatu with Bill Skarsgard appear. This can be confusing because this property is in the public domain.

What does October have in store for you – and the rest of the year?

This Halloween season and Christmas is approaching, I’m producing season 5 of Star Trek: Discovery as Captain Saru, and will also return in a few more episodes of What do we do in the dark as Baron Afanas, so I’ll wear the costume and makeup all month, but without the candy reward.
