Jordan Peele's 'Get Out' sparks a new silly internet challenge

Better get your running shoes!

If you haven't seen Jordan Peele's new horror movie Get Out, buy a ticket immediately.

If you have seen the film, you know that many of the movie's goosebump-inducing scenes are now permanently seared into your memory whether you like it or not.

One creepy scene in particular has, of course, blossomed into another one of the internet's many "challenges," joining the ranks of #WaterBottle and #100Layers alike.

Not going to spoil anything here, but this challenge involves running full speed at the camera and making a very sharp turn (you know, that scene).

Leave it to teens to try to duplicate it and proudly show off their attempts:

Even NBA MVP Stephen Curry tried his hand at the spooky challenge by posting this video on his Instagram:

This challenge by itself is great and all, but what's better than a challenge that goes right? A challenge that goes terribly, hilariously wrong:

Everyone completely underestimated the amount of room they would need to make that turn.

This one is just...

As scary as the movie? No. Sillier? Yes.
