As Halloween approaches, Hollywood actors are being advised against wearing costumes inspired by characters from major TV shows and films due to the ongoing Hollywood strike. Sag-Aftra, the actors' union, has warned its members that wearing such costumes could inadvertently promote content produced by the studios they are in dispute with. Instead, the union suggests opting for costumes based on more generalized characters or figures.
