One of our favorite things about Ellen DeGeneres is how she takes such pleasure in scaring guests on her show. It seems like she’s getting in the Halloween spirit a tad early this year as she scared the daylights out of the always-adorable Selena Gomez. Or she was just getting into the spirit of Gomez’s new film, Hotel Transylvania, which opens in cinemas today. Either way, when Gomez dropped by the show to chat (about Justin Bieber, among other topics) Ellen took the opportunity to give Selena a good scare – and her reaction was fantastic! She manages to remain adorable while also being terrified!
