In the background, there is a crowd of VERY silent women dressed all in all red, walking very slowly...

If you're a fan of the TV show The Handmaid's Tale, then you'll KNOW!

Creepy, right?

Just look at this grab from The Handmaid's Tale.

“The red dresses have a handmaids tale vibe to them,” one user pointed out on Facebook. “How interesting.”

“Ok it can't be just me feeling a few blessed be the fruit vibes with the en masse red dresses,” another commented.

“First thing I thought too,” another user wrote. “Blessed be the fruit.”

“Thankyou!! Agreed,” wrote another.

It's not the greatest comparison.

The HBO series depicts a dystopian future where women in society are used for their fertility. They're called 'handmaids', and are basically enslaved to make babies.

They're also forced to wear red.

Bless'd be!
