It's the spookiest time of year, with celebrities donning frighteningly creative Halloween costumes.

Did any stars dare to dress as Barbie despite the SAG-AFTRA ban? And who topped Diddy's Joker, Kim Kardashian's Mystique and Heidi Klum's human-sized earthworm from last year?

The stars are always thinking outside the box for the holiday, but some may have had plans foiled this year.

Earlier this month, SAG-AFTRA announced that striking actors, now well past 100 days in, are prohibited from wearing costumes inspired by major studio content. The guild asked strikers to wear generalized Halloween costumes, like witches, fairies or zombies.

The guidelines did not clarify whether you could dress up as characters from movie studio-adapted content such as Mattel's Barbie or Nintento's Mario, but it appears actors largely opted to be safe rather than sorry.

Here are some of the Halloween costumes celebrities have brewed up this season.
