In what is one of the greatest Halloween stunts I have ever seen, the Remy Gaillard Halloween Prank features one man dressed up as a [life-sized bat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemmy-industries), roaming around the city while scaring the living hell out of people.

The hilarious Remy Gaillard Halloween Prank shows the poor bat getting beat on by frightened and freaked out citizens, and getting assaulted by the police.

Set to the tune of “Ghostbusters,” I don’t see how anyone could not find this Remy Gaillard Halloween prank funny.
