Party City has unveiled a new "ghosted" Halloween costume, which includes a hooded white dress with a series of unanswered texts on the front.

The costume refers to the phenomenon in modern dating — especially online dating — when a person you're involved with suddenly disappears and stops answering your messages.

"If someone's blowing up your phone, ghost them in a Ghosted Costume for women," the website description states. "The texts include '???,' 'R U OK!?,' and more. Eager texters will know not to bother you in this Ghosted Costume!"

People don't know how to feel about the costume — although it does seem relatable to many.

Some simply think it's hilarious.

Some feel deeply distressed by the whole concept.

The good news is that the costume can be yours for $24.99 — but the shoes are not included.
