Shoppers are horrified over the Sloth from The Goonies mask Amazon is selling

Everyone knows that Halloween masks are meant to be scary, that's just a fact. But one particular mask that's being sold on Amazon has strayed far beyond the realms of scary, and into the land of the ridiculous.

Ladies and gents, I introduce to you Sloth from The Goonies...apparently.

Yep, that's right. Someone is actually selling this mask on Amazon and advertising it as the film character, when, in reality, it really just looks like a huge *peach emoji* with some human features whacked on for good measure. Incredible.

I can only imagine the sort of reception you'd get walking into a party wearing one of these - but hey, to each their own and all that.

Unsurprisingly, the mask has now gone viral on social media, and people aren't too impressed with it.

Posting on Twitter, cracked-up shopper and comedian Ted Travelstead wrote: "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm clearly Sloth from  The Goonies . Let go of me!"

After he shared the post the replies began to flood in, and some of them were absolute Twitter gold.

"This is disturbing on at least two levels," said one bemused social media user.

"If you'd like to make an ass out of yourself this Halloween, go Sloth," jested another.

"WTF?!" exclaimed somebody else.

The mask is currently priced at £20.89, and delivery is a very reasonable 50p - so if you want to sport this most stunning of costumes, it won't cost you the earth.
