Reese Witherspoon expertly trolls Jimmy Fallon in freaky Halloween mystery box game

Reese Witherspoon has a goddamn Academy Award for ACTING and held her own against Meryl in the latest season of Big Little Lies — so it's no trouble whatsoever for her to freak out Jimmy Fallon with a few well-placed screams.

The Tonight Show host got his guest on Tuesday night to join him in a game of "Can You Feel It?", where they had to identify, by touch alone, the contents of boxes full of gross stuff like melted Snickers, real dentures, and a fake spider.

And while nobody likes sticking their hand into a mystery hole (citation needed), Witherspoon managed to wig Fallon out by peering at his challenge object and screeching like it was the worst thing in the world. And thanks to her tiny "T-rex arms", she got off easy when it came to those dentures.
