Halloween is just around the corner, which means it’s a perfect time to scare the bejesus out of yourself.

Thankfully, this dude has an adorable way to do just that. His method? Dressing up his cute little dog in a spider costume.

While you might not think that this would get a rise out of people, I think it’s fair to say that most people’s first reaction upon seeing a massive 8-legged beast isn’t going to be “Aww, someone put their pup in a costume” — it’s going to be “I don’t know what that thing is, but I want it the hell away from me!”

And the latter is exactly how everyone who saw it responded.
