Devil at work as halloween approaches.

It's the GRIN reaper! Notorious prankster wreaks havoc in park with remote-controlled winged skeleton ahead of Halloween

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

This hilarious video shows a flying Grim Reaper terrifying unsuspecting victims in the park a week before Halloween.

The prank was thought up by notorious American joker Tom Mabe who used the remote-controlled skeleton to frighten the life out of joggers, dog walkers and children alike.

He filmed the winged version of Death, which he calls the Flying Reaper, looming overhead and swooping down on people below as they run away.

Mr Mabe has made a name for himself by thinking outside the box and his latest prank is no disappointment.

His YouTube clip now has more than 150,000 views since being posted just 24 hours ago.

 

Mr Mabe, 44, said: 'We have had a lot of fun making this. It's taken some work to make it happen, but it's great fun. 

'It flies with the help of a remote control helicopter but you rig it up in a really brilliant way. It has to be quiet so people don't hear it. 

'Wherever there are people, we will go. We have since managed to make its eyes glow red and we are going to go out at night and scare people.

'The best bit is when you sneak up on people. We fly it about 200 feet in the air and then drop it down so it's right behind them. 

Mr Mabe, a self-confessed 'crazy dad' from Louisville, Kentucky, added: 'There's been a lot of trial and error but we think we've got it just right, in time for Halloween. 

'We're going to take it to a street where there are always lots of trick-or-treaters and are going to set a camera up from inside the Reaper's face to capture the children's reactions. 

'I have always wanted to do this, it's such a laugh.'

Mr Mabe, from Louisville, Kentucky, have been hailed a 'comic superhero' in the past for playing pranks on telemarketers to the point where they hang up.

He once pretended to be a detective investigating a crime scene and threatened to make the telemarketer a suspect in the case.

Another caller looking to sell him a cemetery plot was told that he had been thinking about killing himself and the call must be a sign to carry it out.
