Celebrities are known as the world’s most beautiful and talented people, but some grapple with addictions to drugs, alcohol, and plastic surgery that turn them into a shell of their former self. Let’s just say, this Halloween the following stars won’t need to worry about finding a costume.

10. Amy Winehouse
Even though she’s reportedly kicked her crack addiction, the singer is still the same boozy, rude, and incoherent Amy we all know and love. Now instead of crack, alcohol is her poison of choice. Just last week she grabbed attention for showing up late to an awards ceremony in London and interrupting Robert Plant’s acceptance speech by shouting and swearing. Later that night she stumbled out of a restaurant, failing to notice that her new fake breasts had slipped out for the entire world to see. This woman is the embodiment of a hot mess.
Can you imagine how scared little children would be if they knocked on a door for trick-or-treating and Amy Winehouse answered?
9. Madonna

Madonna needs to eat a cheeseburger. The iconic pop star is obsessed with controlling her weight and pumping iron. She famously maintains a macrobiotic diet and reportedly works out for over two hours every day. The result is that she looks like a man (or rather, a tranny). Madonna has bigger guns than half the guys in the Spike.com office. Whatever happened to some sexy curves?
8. Cher

In The Witches of Eastwick, Cher played a witch. Now in her golden years the aging pop diva is fast turning into one. All the signs are there, including the long black hair, her love of wigs (witches are apparently bald), her flawless complexion (a result of plastic surgery to remove all those witch warts), her big pointy shoes (to mask her square feet), and love of flowing black outfits. All Cher needs is a pointy black hat and she could be the Wicked Witch of the West. On a side note, Cher also resembles an older looking Octomom. Now that’s just frightening.
7. Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke no longer looks like the man he used to be. Years of botched plastic surgery has dramatically altered his appearance. Like the guy in Face/Off, one day he just woke up with someone else’s face. His look is the combination of a beat-up boxer and a woman with too much plastic surgery. It’s scary, but he is slowly morphing into his character from Animal Factory.
Rourke blames his strange look on all the plastic surgery he received after he left acting and started a boxing career. As a boxer his face was smashed to smithereens and he had to have five operations on his nose alone. Then there was surgery to correct his pulverized cheek bones and other corrective procedures. The obvious result is Rourke’s Frankenstein-like appearance.
6. Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson's image as a devil-worshipping, androgynous, emo-looking goth rocker is purportedly controversial (some blamed him for the Columbine shooting) and on the surface frightening. But, in reality, it’s really nothing more than a marketing ploy. The scariest thing about Manson is probably how boring and cookie-cutter he looks in real life.
