In an adorably terrifying video that is [making the internet rounds](https://twitter.com/FavoriteHorror/status/1174373647189868545), [Romeo](https://www.instagram.com/romeo%5F1015/) the [French Bulldog](https://time.com/5609961/paralyzed-dog-runs/) can be seen dressed as Chucky and doing his best impression of the murderous doll from the _Child’s Play_ movie franchise. In the video, the flawless costume has been slipped over the Frenchie’s head to give the appearance that he has Chucky’s wild red hair, is wearing a striped red and white shirt with overalls that read “Good Dogs” instead of “Good Guys,” and is carrying around a bloodied foam knife. As Romeo trots around the house in pursuit of his owner, Vanessa Cheng of Hong Kong, it even looks like he’s waving the knife back and forth, giving the costume some extra panache. “I’m not a huge horror movie fan — but I just thought Romeo’s eyes matched the outfit,” Cheng told the [_New York Post_](https://nypost.com/2019/09/19/this-pups-chucky-is-the-best-dog-halloween-costume-ever/). Now that’s what we call a good spooky boy. Watch the video below. > [](https://twitter.com/FavoriteHorror/status/1174373647189868545) ## Transcript [00:00] All Hallow's Eve, the holy evening. All Saint's [00:04] Eve. No matter what you call it, one thing is certain. The [00:09] true origin of Halloween is still shrouded in mystery. But [00:12] here's what we do know. Halloween is linked to an [00:15] [ MUSIC ] old Celtic festival called [ UNKNOWN ]. [00:17] [ MUSIC ] It marked the end of the harvest season and the [00:21] beginning of Winter, the darker half of the year. [ MUSIC ] [00:24] That's when the souls of the dead were set to come back to [00:27] life to wreak havoc on crops, unless of course they were [00:31] appeased through offerings and rituals. During the festival [00:35] people dressed in costume to imitate the dead spirit. And [00:38] went door to door reciting verses in exchange for food [00:42] offerings. When Christian Missionaries came to change [00:46] Keltic religious practices in the 13th century AD, those [00:50] rituals evolved. [ INAUDIBLE ] became a day to pray for the [00:53] death. So spirits stuck in purgatory could find their way into [00:57] heaven. People went door to door singing. Offering Bible [01:00] verses and collecting what's called soul cakes. People [01:04] still donned costumes but this time it was to disguise them [01:08] from dead spirits searching for vengeance against their [01:11] human enemies. For further protection observers filled [01:15] hollowed out turnips with candles to ward off evil spirits. But [01:18] once the holiday reached North America, turnips were [01:22] traded for pumpkins, which were easier to carve and native [01:25] to the continent. Historians have suggested this is the [01:29] origin for modern- day Halloween and trick- or- treating.
