French bulldog Romeo has gone viral for his Halloween costume, which resembles Chucky from the horror franchise “Child’s Play.” The costume has the doll’s iconic red hair, striped shirt and overalls – though the shirt is red-and-white striped instead of rainbow, and the overalls have “good dogs” rather than "good guys" printed on the front. It also comes complete with stuffed arms and the serial killing toy’s signature bloody knife.

Though the killer costume was not chosen for its connection to the reboot of the Chucky films, or a particular interest in horror at all. According to Vanessa Cheng of Hong Kong, Romeo’s owner, she chose the outfit because she thought her dog would look good in it.

Twitter has been grateful for Cheng’s decision.
