Darren Criss, Campbell "Pookie" Puckett, Rei Ami, and other stars joined Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party.
These eerie, frightening skeletons are prepared to chill you to the bone. Stars like Darren Criss, Jett Puckett, and Campbell Puckett, better known as Pookie, walked the red carpet at Heidi Klum's 24th Annual Halloween Party Presented by Butterfinger at the Hard Rock Hotel New York on October 31. Everyone wore their best Halloween costume for the legendary celebration, but there were much more than just spooks.
The former Glee star and his wife, Mia Swier, chose cartoonish attire, with Darren dressed as Shrek and Mia as Puss in Boots.
Rei Ami, star of KPop Demon Hunters, kept it meta by attired up as her own character from the Netflix series Zoey, while "Pookie" tossed it back by dressing up as Elvis and Priscilla Presley.

Heidi was already "hard at work" on her Halloween costume in August, as she hinted before the big day itself.
“Of course, I’m going to do my Halloween party,” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she revealed. “I’m gonna be extra ugly and super scary. Let’s not ruin it. We have exactly 86 days, but who’s counting?”
The Project Runway star also bemoaned the lack of originality in the designs as she reflected on some of her early costumes.
“Well, this is boring,” she was dissatisfied with her initial costume. “I was like, ‘I’m Heidi. I’m going to do a Heidi-themed dirndl-type thing in patent leather.’ But I had to do my own hair and makeup. I didn’t know anyone at the time who does special effects makeup.”
Heidi now collaborates with prosthetics designer Mike Morano, who previously assisted in her transformation into a worm, her most recent appearance, and Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
In an attempt to inspire her guests to have more fun as well, Heidi had taken great satisfaction in creating the wildest costumes she could throughout the years.
“By me doing crazy, elaborate outfits as the host, my hope had always been that all my guests would follow,” in 2018, she told The Hollywood Reporter. “And it’s worked because, over the years, people have become increasingly more outrageous with their costumes.”
