Play some creepy music, light those pumpkins, and get ready. It's time to bring an edge of fright back to your Halloween decor. We've seen kids shake the hands of skeletons and laugh in the face of many-eyed spiders. Overflowing garbage bins attract wild boars, terrifying passersby. With sidewalks impassable because of piles of uncollected trash, people resort to pushing baby strollers down the middle of pothole-pocked streets. When it comes to spooking trick-or-treaters, it's getting tougher than ever. ROME (AP) Curbside weeds in Rome grow so tall, they cover car door handles, giving new meaning to the term urban jungle. You can wear it around the neighborhood or prop it up to use as a piece of a terrifying decor. The mask is large with large eyes and a spooky grin. The hands are bony and will creep everyone out. The black robe hangs from the inflatable shoulders with a ghosty, gauzy overlay on the hood and shoulders. This Towering Terror Reaper stands twenty-four inches over your head with the wearable height extender. Still, we can take advantage of this fact with a mighty awesome Terror Reaper! Product Details Don't get us wrong, we're glad that ghosts haven't figured that out, we don't think we could recover from that kind of paranormal activity. Spook factor isn't about timing or tricks, it's actually about height. We haven't even mentioned those mischevious little poltergeists that like to pile dining room chairs on each other or steal socks from the laundry. Or maybe they'll steal your keys just long enough to make you start blaming your significant other and just as they start to help you look, the keys appear back in the bowl, just where you thought you left them. They'll play mind games by tapping on window sills or whispering your name in the night, leaving you unsure if you heard anything or not. They will tickle your toes in the middle of the night.
