Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a wholesome game about decorating and cultivating an island, but sometimes it goes off the rails. One fan's in-game homage to the guitar-playing crooner, K.K. Slider, is one of those times. The cosplay takes things past the point of flattery and turns incredibly creepy.

Reddit thegoosebumpsdog proudly shows off their "unhinged K.K. cosplay" in their Reddit post, in three increasingly alarming screenshots. The images show K.K. Slider playing his guitar while their character hovers near them, dressed as K.K. down to the eyebrows and "skin" color. The post already has over 38,000 upvotes, showing the community's love for the creepy and deeply unsettling creation.

Fans in the comments are delighted at the horrific imagery, which is uncomfortable to behold, with many praising thegoosebumpsdog for their creation.

Fans are calling the cosplay "nightmare fuel," with Reddit character in a large rabbit costume—that many players dislike.
