GOOD Morning America fans have been let down by the morning show hosts on today's episode.
Lara Spencer, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopolous didn't seem to be in the Halloween spirit this year.

Since today is All Hallows Eve, the ABC program's set was designed with a plethora of Halloween decorations.
There was a green screen behind the morning show hosts that displayed a spooky forest that had bats flying through it.
Also on set were black witches' hats and black candles positioned behind the couch where on-air guests sat.
The decorations were befitting not only for the holiday, but also for the annual Halloween contest segment.

Although the studio decor celebrated the occasion, Lara, 54, Robin, 62, and George's on-air ensembles didn't.
Unlike the guests who visited the show, who all wore costumes, each TV anchor sported their typical professional business attire rather than a Halloween costume.
Many fans were upset that the GMA trio didn't participate in the holiday, especially since they normally do every year.
Several people commented about it in a thread on X, formerly Twitter.

IN FOR A SHOCK
"I’m disappointed that the anchors aren’t dressed up in costumes this year!" one person reacted.
"What is going on? I understand George because he never likes to be in costume but the others always seem to have fun!"
A second viewer added: "GMA losing your edge, no costumes, so boring. Boo!"
One user cosigned: "What happened to your costumes?" attaching a GIF that said "boring."
Someone else agreed: "No costumes this year? You always made Halloween so fun!"
GHOSTLY GINGER ZEE
There are some GMA personalities who went all out for Halloween, in contrast to Lara, Robin, and George.
Ginger Zee, 42, merged sexiness with horror for the spooky season.
She shared several snaps from the All Hallows' Eve function she threw in a carousel post on her Instagram account over the weekend.
A few posts included in the slide show were group photos that included Ginger.
For the party, the meteorologist wore a white strapless tulle corset maxi dress that teased her muscular legs.
Paired with the ensemble were nude platform heels.
She had her face painted blue, which matched the hue of the long-hair wig she sported.
On top of her faux hair was a headband made of black and red roses.
