“I have retired my pumpkins. I have hung up my butcher knives. I have stepped away from the vehicle. I am bowing gently to others who are taking up the mantle,” she said.

When asked if she was even planning to decorate this year, she said: “Nothing. Zip. Nobody comes by our house except my neighbor and we do that at like three o’clock.”

“My children are old enough now that they don’t want me to decorate for them. So no, I’m just gently stepping into the darkness,” she said of Ruby, 28, and Annie, 37, whom she shares with screenwriter husband Christopher Guest, 76.

She also doesn’t celebrate Halloween by watching herself in the movies.
