'Today' show channels 'Titanic' and Mrs. Doubtfire: See bold daytime TV Halloween costumes

Morning show hosts are once again starting Halloween off right.

The hosts from "Today," "Live with Kelly and Mark" and more kicked off the spookiest day of the year with pop culture references and beloved movie characters. And if you're one of the people disappointed by the lack of scary costumes these days, don't fret, as "The Kelly Clarkson Show" continues to be dedicated to scary-good getups.

Meanwhile, celebrities such as Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner and more have already gotten into the sinister spirit.

Meanwhile, anchors Willie Geist channeled his inner Ron Burgundy, Savannah Guthrie brought Luke Wilson along for the ride as the Emmett Richmond to her Elle Woods from "Legally Blonde," Craig Melvin pulled up in an old school Chevy Nova as Axel F. Foley from "Beverly Hills Cop" and Laura Jarrett cheered for the Clovers as Gabrielle Union's Isis from "Bring It On."

Kelly Clarkson and band perform as 'Beetlejuice' characters

Kelly Clarkson and her band don't play about Halloween. Following up on Clarkson's Morticia Addams costume from "The Addams Family" last year, the crew took on "Beetlejuice" this year, with the singer as the titular character on a set that fully recreates the model city from the movie.

Reba McEntire and boyfriend and "Happy's Place" co-star Rex Linn will also appear in the episode in their costumes.

Clarkson and My Band Y'all will also perform a creepy cover of Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat (Day-O)" from the film.
