It's not easy to turn yourself into Godzilla without an elaborate costume, but this funny hoodie is an instant way to turn yourself into a beastly creature if you're feeling lazy.
Godzilla really isn't so terrifying when you start to take away some of the things that make him so fearsome, including his size and monstrous extremities. However, the hoodie does include some spikes and there's a mention of it requiring batteries, so this may mean that you'll still be able to let out mighty roars just like the strange beast.
Considering that Godzilla has come back into popularity with the remake of the film this year, this is not a bad last-minute Halloween option. The adult-sized Godzilla costume hoodie comes priced at about $43.
