Nightmare on Mel Street.

I ordered a second compost bin during the Prime sale. It included this seasonally appropriate promotional glove:

This is really handy if I need to scratch my back while working! And I have nearly 1/3 of a Halloween costume.

Alas, only the right-hand glove had the clawed accoutrements.

Hey, I like that glove! I use gardening gloves like those without tips and my fingernails always end up black; maybe these are good for digging...if you could get two?

As a promotional, this was a bit of bust, since the gloves don't come with a brand name. But they look very much like this set, which is a complete left/right pair. However people in the comments mention that you're better off sometimes with just one clawed hand, because the claws aren't so great for pulling weeds.

I actually did use my Thriller glove (a reference to someone else who also wore a glove on just one hand) a bit to pass out Halloween treats. This was not as entertaining as one might have hoped. Didn't get a single gasp or giggle. Kids were like, "Yeah, a glove -- so what? Hurry up! I've got 200 houses to do before eight!"

I got 2 like that (R&L) from Gardeners Supply. Previously I had the one you have, with only the right hand clawed. I liked the uniclaw better….
