Corey Feldman donned a dodgy disguise as he attempted to interview stars at The Ganzfeld Haunting premiere in Los Angeles last night (February 6).
The 42-year-old Stand by Me star wore a fake moustache, poorly stuck-on sideburns and a feathered wig as he arrived for the screening for FIlmOn.TV, an internet-based television channel founded by The Bank Job actor Alki David.
The actor also sported an ill-fitting suit along with gold sunglasses and a prosthetic nose as he waited to interview the film's stars, including Billy Zane and Rumer Willis.
Sadly for Feldman, both Willis and Zane failed to appear, so he ended up speaking with members of the crowd gathered outside the cinema.
The Ganzfeld Haunting tells the story of five college psychology students who participate in a paranormal investigation only to unearth grisly murders from the past.
