Demi Moore has shocked the internet with her drastic transformation for her latest film.

Moore stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, a long-time Hollywood icon who uses a black-market drug to create a younger, better version of herself after being forced out of her TV show.

Margaret Qualley, 29, plays Sue, the younger version of Elisabeth, while Dennis Quaid, 70, stars as Harvey, the TV executive and one of the film’s antagonists.

The film, directed by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat, tackles the issue of impossible Hollywood beauty standards.

The Substance has gone on to be a massive hit with audiences worldwide, grossing a worldwide total of $42.4 million.

In honor of Hollywood, Moore took to her Instagram to share terrifying behind-the-scenes pictures of her character.

“Spoiler alert,” Demi quipped, alongside photos that showed her looking unrecognizable in elaborate old face and body makeup. “Been holding onto these gems from @trythesubstance and today feels like an appropriate day to share them. Happy Halloween from Elisabeth Sparkle.”

Other images saw Moore’s face covered in blood, and her posing in a half-costumed look, complete with prosthetic arms, torso, as well as Spanks and black Birkenstock clogs.

The actress’ 5.5 million followers were creeped out by the pictures and took to the comment section to share their reactions.

Los Angeles-based hairstylist Sergio Garcia quipped: “Lol need me to color [sic] those three little gray my dear?”

Moore opened up about her first full-frontal nude scene in The Substance, which she described as “a very vulnerable experience,” cited by News.com.au.

“Going into it, it was really spelled out — the level of vulnerability and rawness that was really required to tell the story,” she said at the Cannes Film Festival. “And it was a very vulnerable experience and just required a lot of sensitivity and a lot of conversation about what we were trying to accomplish.”

She expressed gratitude to Qualley and called her co-star “a great partner who I felt very safe with”.
