Tina Fey Shows Off Her ‘Corny Mom HomeGoods’ Halloween Decorations That Pal Amy Pohler Hates: ‘Am I Okay?’

Tina Fey’s taste in Halloween decorations can be really scary — especially for Amy Poehler.

During the performance at Late night with Seth Meyers, Mean girls writer and producer revealed that one of the few things she and her friend and frequent collaborator disagree on is Halloween.

“I love HomeGoods Halloween shabby mom, just b—- Halloween,” reveals Fey, 53. “I don’t want anything scary to happen. I have little light-up boxes that say, ‘Here lives a witch with her two little monsters.’

Poehler, 52, she says, is not a fan.

“She judges me for those things,” Fey says. “There have been times when I’ve sent her things that I have in the house and she’s like, ‘I hate it. Get it out of your house.'”

While Poehler’s hard line may seem a bit harsh, when Fey begins to reveal the hilarious embellishments, things become much clearer.

They start pretty standard: “I have three full-sized skeletons. I have a fake TV from the 50s that when you turn it on, your hand goes through the screen. [I] I have 3D portraits of every member of my family from the Haunted Castle at Disney World, which is cool because if you look at it from one side it’s your face, and if you look at it from the other side it’s the face of someone who wasted $200,” he jokes.

She shows off her favorite mug decorated with pumpkins that simply says, “Awesome!” which, she says, she would have saved from a house fire through her wedding album. “When I saw this mug at HomeGoods, I felt like Leonardo DiCaprio when he sees a 19-year-old model because I was like, ‘Damn, I want have her,” she recalls.

Things change as she discovers her collection of increasingly creepy scarecrow decorations.

The first is a standard, somewhat homemade, scarecrow with a stuffed pumpkin instead of a head. “He might not be something a woman buys while her husband is alive,” says Fey. “It feels more like something that should be done for you by volunteers from the church.”

But he was the beginning of addiction. She discovers two more: a soccer player scarecrow and a cheerleader scarecrow that she had to buy together because they’re “obviously a couple.” And finally, there’s the disturbing elderly scarecrow.

“He looks like a Victorian shroud-wearing child,” she says, but he’s clearly “a middle-aged man.”

“I have to admit this is problematic. Why did I buy it?” she reflects. “He has a ring of human hair that is realistic and we can only assume is the hair of his victims.” It’s also “the size of a humidifier” and cost her $60. “Even he is sad that he exists,” she adds.

However, her addiction to Halloween decorations is one of the few things she says she and Poehler disagree on.

Former SNL co-stars and main writers, who also appeared in the original bad girls, will appear together on stage for their “Restless Leg” comedy tour, which will run for 11 consecutive nights at the Beacon Theater in New York.

The tour kicked off last April in Washington DC and celebrates “their thirty years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories and conversational entertainment,” according to a press release.

The duo then joked in a statement, “If this tour goes well, we can finally end this friendship!” Fortunately, that didn’t work out because they extended their tour in September.

Late Night with Seth Meyers airs weekdays at 12:35ET/11:35c on NBC.
