Adele is in Dallas on her North American tour, the timing of which happened to fall on the day after Halloween. And that's why the superstar songstress was trick-or-treating in the Dallas area, decked out to the nines in a costume from The Mask.

The singer posted a set of photos to her Instagram of herself dressed as Jim Carrey's The Mask from the 1994 film.

Her costume comprised a baggy suit, broad-brimmed hat, polka-dot tie, and realistic mask. The telltale sign it was Adele? Her "Angelo" tattoo on her right hand.

Adele posted two photos of herself, both in black and white. (Oh, snap.) One shows the full costume; the other is a close-up of her makeup job, on the caliber of a Hollywood makeup artist, with foam padding, the whole works.

The photos had the caption "Halloween 2016 / Dallas, TX," although some reports on Facebook have hinted she was actually in Highland Park.

Adele is in the middle of a two-night stint of performances at American Airlines Center on November 1 and 2. In all, she'll spend more than a week in Texas, with two dates at Austin's Frank Erwin Center on November 4 and 5, and then two more dates at Houston's Toyota Center on November 8 and 9. She's on tour in support of her album, 25, released in November 2015.

Horror comedy film Y2K goes for nostalgia but maybe too soon

Jaeden Martell, Rachel Zegler, and Julian Dennison in Y2K.

Movies that rely on nostalgia can be successful if they’re timed right. Generally, 25-30 years seems about the right amount of time to try to take advantage of people’s fond feelings for a certain era, which is why movies/TV shows about the ‘80s have been prevalent for much of the 21st century, and ‘90s-set films started to pop up in the last 10 years.

Y2K, a horror comedy that plays on the fears of technological mayhem many people thought would happen at the turn of the century, is right on the cusp of that rule, taking place 24 years after its timeline. It centers on two teenage boys, Eli (Jaeden Martell) and Danny (Julian Dennison), who are opposite in demeanor but have an unshakeable bond. Eli likes a popular girl, Laura (Rachel Zegler), and Danny convinces him to crash a New Year’s Eve party where she’ll be.

As the clock strikes midnight and the year moves from 1999 to 2000, everything that uses an electrical current goes haywire, with many of them combining forces to attack the humans around them. Eli and Danny find themselves on the run with Laura, as well as two stoners, Ash (Lachlan Watson) and CJ (Daniel Zolghadri), with each of them trying to use their unique skillset to help defeat a growing robot army.

Directed by Kyle Mooney and written by Mooney and Evan Winter, the film lands some solid jokes about the era in its opening 20 minutes or so, whether it’s the extreme slowness of dial-up internet, the goofy user names from AOL Messenger, or the various high school cliques of the time. However, many of them seem to echo ones told in 1999’s American Pie, a weird kind of art-imitating-art moment instead of commenting on real life.

The jolt of the machines attacking partygoers seems to promise a fun-if-bloody romp, but Mooney and Winter don’t seem to know where to take the story. They establish the computer bona fides of Eli and Laura early on, but when it comes time for them to put their talents in action, it feels like two actors going through the motions instead of real people who know what they’re doing. Almost none of the characters are believable or entertaining, and the few that rise above are dispatched way too early.

And because the filmmakers don’t make you care about the main group, nothing they face is that interesting, either. The villainous robots are made up of a bunch of disparate parts, which would seem to offer the opportunity for funny sight gags. Mooney and his team fumble most of their chances, though, leaving that side of the story stuck in limbo where it’s not absurd enough to be hilarious or scary enough to really count as horror.

Martell, Dennison, and Zegler are each rising stars who have their individual charms, but only Dennison is able to make much of an impact. Zegler, who starred in West Side Story and will soon be Snow White, is especially misused. They try to shoehorn in a cameo by Limp Biskit lead singer Fred Durst, but his appearance makes little sense and adds almost nothing to the story.

Filmmakers who want to mine nostalgia, especially in a comedy, need to really commit to the bit instead of throwing in a few references and needle drops. Mooney, who’s making his directorial debut, demonstrates little feel for timing, and so most of the film is like a car spinning its wheels, going nowhere.

Y2K opens in theaters on December 6.
