During a severe windstorm yesterday in Peoria, Arizona, a giant, inflatable Jack-O-Lantern became untethered from its post, and proceeded to roll through a busy intersection, forcing cars and pedestrians to scramble out of its merciless path.The 25-foot promotional decoration bent a traffic light, rolled for a while before gaining momentum; soon enough, it was airborne, and climbing over a wall and plowing into a business building.
Eventually, the pumpkin stopped in a nearby neighborhood, sparing the terrified Peorians any more panic.
According to the report, police are currently looking into the incident, considering the possibility that the Jack-O-Monster had been "tampered with."
TRICKSTERS! TRICKSTERS, I TELL YA!
The promotional company behind it doubts it "had an accomplice," and the reporter made sure to point out that all of the rogue gourd's terrorizing was, of course, done while grinning.
Behold the frightful might of Halloween below.
