Halloween 2014 just got a whole hell of a lot scarier

This was one of the many Guardians of the Galaxy-related ads to appear in Marvel books from the last batch of comics I bought. As you can see, there are Guardians costumes for the whole family! Star-Lord costumes for men and boys! Gamora costumes—dabs of green paint, I guess—for women and girls! And a Rocket Raccoon costume for anyone small enough to wear it!

If you want a Groot costume, well, you've gotta make that yourself. And if you want to dress up as Drax, I suggest you start working out right now.

...

Say, wait a minute. Now that I look a little closer at that Rocket...
Gah! That thing is horrifying! It's stiff, frozen, unmoving face! It's strangely uniform, manufactured pelt covering everything but it's human hands. Oh God, I'd hate to wake up in the middle of the night and see a couple of these things foraging in the dumpster outside my apartment complex through the window, or scurrying in and out of the drain by the curb at the end of the street...

I think the reason that the Rocket Raccoon is so disturbing is because he looks like that Donnie Darko Rabbit.
