Coco Gauff recently shared a hilarious Halloween incident she experienced during Horror Nights at Universal Studios. Gauff has been enjoying her off time before her departure to Saudi Arabia for the 2024 WTA Finals, slated from November 2 to November 9.
Gauff is known for her Halloween costumes, often dressing up as various characters. In 2023, she took on the roles of Freddy Krueger, the villain from Nightmare on Elm Street and a spooky clown. She embraced the Halloween spirit as she dressed up as ‘Moon Knight’ in 2022.
This year, she spent her time during the Halloween season at Universal Studios. The American tennis star shared a glimpse of a hilarious experience she encountered there, featuring a character dressed as Megan, the artificially intelligent doll from the 2023 sci-fi horror film ‘M3GAN’.
In a video shared on her Instagram story, the Halloween character dressed as ‘Megan’ initially invited her closer with a heart gesture, but then switched up their behavior as she approached, similar to the character in the movie. She posted this hilarious incident, captioning it:
“Why she switch up on me like that? like I thought we were friends Megan!?”
She also offered glimpses of herself sporting jeans with a skull-shaped design and expressed excitement about how the ‘spooky’ season is the best time of the year.

I think it’s, you can pretend to be your favorite character for a day.”
