Squirrel Wears Scream Mask to Get Into the Halloween Spirit

A 'Scream' mask and a bushy-tailed rodent... what more do you need on Halloween?

Who's ready for some trick or treat shenanigans?

This squirrel definitely is. The old tactic of sticking some squirrelly treats inside a suspended mask has been tricking these little guys for years, and it's never more appropriate than today.

It's basically a squirrel feeder for the pranksters of the world.

If you're in the mood for a laugh on Halloween (or any other day, for that matter), watch this clip.

The spooky ghostface mask from the 1996 movie Scream is the perfect spooky accompaniment for this act, and it has kept this video trending each Halloween season since it was posted a year ago.

Well, maybe it was the neighborhood squirrel who really kept it trending. What do you suppose is up there that's got him so interested? Peanut butter?

We've seen other renditions of this joke, with unicorn heads or horse masks, but any time a squirrel puts its tiny head inside one, it's good for a laugh!

Wanna buy a Scream mask for your own versions of these shenanigans? Do it!

If that's not Halloween spirit, we don't know what is!
