Attention Halloween lovers: the smokin' hot Halloween costume of 2016 has arrived.

Instead of dressing as a classic superhero or predictable political figure this year, consider transforming yourself into something both unique and extremely topical -- a Samsung Galaxy Note7.

Though Samsung's infamous exploding phone was a downright dangerous device, the failed piece of tech serves as the perfect inspiration for a clever and interactive Halloween costume.

Once you have your boxes ready, excit3d explained that the execution will require some plastic tubing and T connectors from Home Depot, along with lots of hot glue.

Once you assemble the masterpiece, simply blow into the mouthpiece and watch the Samsung boxes realistically emit some spooky smoke.

He explained that he plans to add caution tape as a finishing touch. To make things even more entertaining, since he's essentially dressing as a fire hazard, his fiancé plans to dress as a firefighter.

To assure everyone that the costume is all in good fun, excit3d made sure to add a disclaimer to his post, stating that though his smoking Samsung shirt may loosely resemble a suicide vest, that was not his intent.

This costume goes to show that even though Note7 was recalled, it will never be forgotten.
