I'm not afraid to admit I'm terrified of scary movies [1] — and no matter how old I get, I know nothing will ever change that. But as frightening as they may be, sometimes I can't help but join the horror-movie [2] buffs in my life for a good old Halloween [3] flick. Whether I'm tuning in to a kitschy horror comedy [4] or gory slasher film [5], there's bound to be a scene that I'll have to look away from. Thankfully, in honor of spooky season, Prime Video dropped a hilariously clever hoodie designed for scaredy-cats like me.
Aptly named the Terror Tamer, the glow-in-the-dark skeleton sweatshirt appears to be cozy, Halloween-themed loungewear at first glance. Yet it actually comes with some genius built-in features, like an eye mask that flips down to cover your eyes and an adjustable hood to cover your ears. There's also a lined pouch made specifically for storing movie snacks like popcorn and candy, as well as a pocket for your remote and phone. That's a lot of multitasking while watching a movie, though the eye and ear covers definitely offer peace of mind.
The sweater was created in response to a Prime Video survey that found almost 75 percent of Americans "can't bear" to sit still during scary-movie scenes, and as a result, more than 30 percent cover their eyes to avoid watching. You can purchase the Terror Tamer on Amazon for $10.31 starting Oct. 13, which also happens to be the final Friday the 13th [6] of the year. If you're skipping Halloween costumes [7] and parties for a scary-movie marathon, make sure to get equipped with the right outerwear to brace yourself for any spine-chilling scenes. Ahead, take a closer look at the silly hoodie and shop one for yourself.
