Tina Fey’s taste in Halloween decorations can be downright frightening — especially toAmy Poehler.
During an appearance onLate Nightwith Seth Meyers, theMean Girlswriter-producer revealed that one of the few things she and her friend and frequent collaborator disagree on is Halloween.
“I like corny mom HomeGoods Halloween, basic bitch Halloween,” Fey, 53, reveals. “I don’t want anything scary to happen. I have like little light up boxes that say, “A witch lives here with her two little monsters.”
Poehler, 52, she shares, is not a fan.
“She judges me for these things,” Fey says. “There have been times where I’ll send her stuff that I have in my house and she’s like, ‘I hate that. Get it out of your house.'”

While Poehler’s hardline stance may seem a bit harsh, when Fey starts revealing the hilarious decorations in question, things become much clearer.
She shows off a beloved mug adorned with pumpkins that says simply, “Scary!” that she says she’d save from a house fire over her wedding album. “When I saw this mug in HomeGoods, I felt like whatLeonardo DiCapriofeels like when he sees a 19-year-old model because I was like, “Goddammit, I willhave her,“she recalls.
Things take a turn as she reveals her collection of increasingly creepy scarecrow decorations.

But he was the beginning of an addiction. She reveals two more: a football player scarecrow and a cheerleader scarecrow that she had to purchase together because “obviously they’re a couple.” And finally, there’s an unsettling elder scarecrow.
“He looks like a Victorian child pallbearer,” Fey says, but is clearly “a middle-aged man.”
“I have to admit this is problematic. Why did I buy him?” she reflects. “He has a ring of human hair that is realistic and we can only assume is the hair of his victims.” He’s also “the size of a humidifier” and cost her $60. “Even he is sad that he exists,” she adds.

Her Halloween decoration addiction is one of the only things she says she and Poehler don’t see eye to eye on, however.
The formerSNLco-stars and head writers, who also both appeared in the originalMean Girls,will appear on stage together for their"Restless Leg” comedy tourfor 11 straight nights at the Beacon Theater in New York.
The tour kicked off last April in Washington D.C. and celebrates “their thirty years of friendshipwith an evening of jokes, iconic stories and conversational entertainment,” according to a press release.
The duo joked in a statement at the time, “If this tour goes right, we can finally end this friendship!” Fortunately, that didn’t pan out, because they extended the tour in September.
