Kelly Clarkson went all out for her incredibly detailed costume during the Halloween episode of her talk show.
The host of The Kelly Clarkson Show looked unrecognizable dressed as Beetlejuice, totally transforming into Michael Keaton‘s Ghost with the Most from the beloved film franchise, complete with wild frazzled hair, moss growing out of her face and rotten teeth. The “Stronger” singer completed the scary-good look with lifeless white makeup and dark eyes as well as the ghoul’s iconic dirty black and white striped suit.
Not only did Clarkson dress the part, but she transformed her set into Beetlejuice’s underworld lair and got her guests to play along as well. Country superstar Reba McEntire dressed as Delia Deetz, portrayed in the films by Catherine O’Hara, while McEntire’s boyfriend Rex Linn looked like he was scared to death by a sandworm.
The talk show shared several photos of Clarkson’s ghoulishly good transformation on Instagram, including more members of her crew dressed as characters from the 1988 film.
Clarkson’s makeover— which required a full team of experts from hair and makeup to special effects and stylists — was so good that her house band’s immediate reaction to seeing her for the first time was to jokingly tell her how “gross” she looks, per People.
As she always does, Clarkson also kicked off the show with her Kellyoke segment, and covered Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat (Day-O),” the song used in one of the most iconic scenes in the original film.
