Remember a few months back when Sonic's design was revealed for the upcoming movie and the internet collectively broke down in terror? Of course you do. You'll want to strap yourselves in for this one.
Yes, jumping right to the very top of any 'top 10 scary Halloween costume' lists this year, and then immediately into the bin where it belongs, is this Sonic the Hedgehog movie costume. Hooray!
The costume is based on the original Sonic design - back in May, the movie's director promised that Sonic would be redesigned to coincide with fans' wishes after some not-so-friendly feedback - but it appears that the promise came too late for this particular product.
Instagram user @treasurehuntingsonic says that you can find the costume at Walmart for just $19.97. We're not quite sure whether this detail was provided purely as extra information or as a kind of dare, but you can go ahead and try to locate one at your nearest store if you're interested.
Regrettably, being from the UK, we can't really go ahead and grab one ourselves. If you do end up getting one, we'd love to know your thoughts on it so make sure to get in touch. Wowzers.

No matter how fast he may run.
He cannot run away from the pain.
Wait, wrong costume.
Looks like a bootleg furry costume.
Will all those who wear this costume be trick n' treatin' from a gangsta's paradise?
Jut put a Pennywise mask on with it and the real horror will begin.
@TJWorks I am a furry and can attest that this looks worse then a lot of the worst fursuits I've seen.
I'm more interested in a Bowser costume in an adult size, please, Nintendo?
@AxeltheCorvikni I am a furry too, but not by choice. I blame it on my genetics lol
Will these also come in the "girl" variant?
@Jokerwolf I think a recent study found that most people are furries, the genes are just dormant until a specific life event wakes them up. To think that your neighbors, your best friends, even your elected officials could be unwitting carriers.
Oh I’m getting one
No.. Just No.... And No
Pair this with a Sonic.exe mask and it's legit scary.
That person in the Sonic costume looks so dead inside. Poor kid.
I'll take your whole stock
At 0:26 in this Sega Commercial this is what we need do with the Sonic movie design and the film itself:
@TeslaChippie I am as hairy as Robin Williams was lmao.
Hm, could be repainted into Scourge, Manic, or Sonia. Lol
@TeslaChippie The Pathowogen will infect us all.
The kid on the packaging doesn't exactly look pleased about the costume.
This is ironic hipster gold! Someone's going to be the life of the Pabst Blue Ribbon party this halloween.
People won't give you candy wearing that, they'll just scream and shut the door.
For this Halloween I'm going to not answer my front door
Wearing this while spending some alone time with your girlfriend/wife/significant other might give rise to an entirely new meaning of the word "quicky"...
Does it come in adult sizes? It’s the scariest costume I can think of, I’d be tempted.
"Hooray!"???? I'm positively terrified
The only place that costume belongs is at the back of the wardrobe.
For any of you who desperately need one like me, well, your welcome...

Oh thank god, my life is complete
Well this'll definitely be the scariest Halloween costume on the block.
With the redesigns on the way for the final release, I could see this becoming a collectors item.
That is, if anyone even bothers to remember that this movie exists 25 years from now.
Im getting this for my friends birthday as an ironic gift. I know, Im evil.
Mine is too tight on me. But I run much faster.
I would be caught dead in that if one of my adversaries were to kill me, strip me, and drape me in that monstrosity.
It would be a fate much, much worse than death in and of itself.
all the little boys this halloween gonna get all the candy plus all of the girls
@Priceless_Spork make sure to run with your arms behind you to be even faster
Costume only for children and pre-adolescents unfortunately. No sizes if you're taller than 5 feet.
No worries, sure this kid was promised a Sega Genesis Mini as payment if he participated in this photo shoot.
Want it!
Sanic! He can really move.
Now children can look like furry rejects!
Sweet! I can wear this and run into hotels screaming "HE'S COMING! BOW BEFORE HIM"!

@Tyranexx He's thinking about the hurt his dad is going to put on him when he sees him in that.
