The trash bag costume is the homemade Halloween outfit Seth Meyers described on his show in October 2026: a bag of trash, made for him by his father, which neighbours persistently mistook for a pile of leaves. Meyers shared it in response to Jenna Ortega’s rock costume story, joking that his mistake was lacking a headband that said ‘garbage.’ Paired together, the two costumes form a small tribute to homemade Halloween ingenuity and the children who wore it proudly.
