Hollywood stars came out in droves last night to celebrate Halloween in their spookiest costumes but it was Courteney Cox's look that served major nostalgia.

The Friends actress, 60, posted a video from her stunning $9 million Malibu home where she rocked super choppy bangs and a fitted purple suit as she dressed her King Charles Cavalier Spaniels up as Ghostface from her 2000 hit movie Scream 3. See the full video below.

Courteney's spooky hairdo

The ex-wife of David Arquette has previously spoken out about her Scream haircut and it's safe to say it haunts her to this day.

"Each Scream I would try to come up with a different look for her that was just over the top gross, or ugly or too much," the actress told the host of The Drew Barrymore Show.

"Oh [the bangs], that was the worst. I forgot about that. There was nothing worse. That was a big lesson in life because that will forever be on film," she continued.

The star, whose most famous role was Monica Geller, also revealed that while the raven lengths were her own, the questionable bangs were a clip-in hairpiece.

"I remember they were cut on the set," Courteney recalled. "You are supposed to have a thing that starts back here, far back and that's where the part goes for the bangs," she explained, pointing to the back of her head.

"For some reason, they put it here [pointing toward the centre of her head] and started cutting it and I was like, 'Well I don't have a choice now'."

During the 90s, Courteney experimented with her hair, rocking bobs to shoulder-length styles. These days, she opts for something in between with the Men's Final of the US Open Tennis Championships in September calling for casual beachy waves with a centre part.
