At this point, you should know Halle Berry is a HOOT on social media where she called for fans to wear their most distressed wigs to theaters in support of her new Horror Thriller Never Let Go. And THAT, they did.

Oh, but it gets better: the Oscar-winning actress actually popped up at a screening in NYC with a distressed wig of her own in a hilarious sequence of events that immediately went viral.
My fans SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT! You guys have been jokingly “dragging” me for years about these wigs so we thought we’d have a little fun by hosting a few Wig Screenings for #NeverLetGo 😉 This was so much fun and the wigs were hilarious. I appreciate all the love! 🤍 pic.twitter.com/iSgvtc2wed

In Never Let Go, Berry does everything she can to protect her fraternal twin sons from a nightmarish force that appears to have consumed their world.

To survive, they stay connected at all times, urging each other to never let go and fall victim to the darkness in the woods.

But when one of the boys questions if the evil is even real, the ties that bind them are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival.
“The big question for me, for Momma, is: Has Momma been driven crazy? said Berry about her character in an exclusive interview with EW.
If you can imagine living with only two children for a decade and having no interaction with anyone else, that wasn’t always Momma’s existence, but it is the existence of the boys. So I think what you question about Momma is, is she really crazy? Was she always crazy? Was she driven crazy?
And the big question is: Is everything real or not? Is what she’s seeing real? Is she schizophrenic? Has she gone mad? And the boys start to question if it’s real — and that’s when sort of mayhem starts because they’re older now, they’re 10, they’re not always believing everything that Momma has told them. And when they start to question her, that’s when things start to go awry. Momma loses control of her boys and then things go crazy.”
