"Today's" Attempt at Being the "Peanuts" Gang Ends Up Being Just A Little Creepy

NBC's Today crew celebrated Halloween on its Friday show, and in the process, ruined Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang for most of us.

I can understand the intent. The Peanuts Movie is hitting theaters next week, so why not do a unique group costume like this?

It's a mixed bag. Half of the costumes are odd-looking, but fine. The other half, especially with the makeup and bald caps, makes half of the Today cast look really creepy. The creepiest ones have to be Al Roker as Charlie Brown, Carson Daly as Linus, Kathie Lee Gifford as Woodstock and Meredith Viera as Pigpen. Matt Lauer as Lucy is a wild card.

See for yourself...

Good grief.
