A house decorated for Halloween with a gigantic spider became a viral sensation on social media.

A viral video online shows the ingenuity of the owners of a house with an incredible decoration, a gigantic arachnid that actually moves through a web and trails almost the entire perimeter.

A retired toy engineer in America put his skills to the test with a Halloween decoration that has become a viral phenomenon on social media. It is a gigantic animatronic spider that moves through a web from the roof of the house towards the sidewalk, located in East Aurora, New York.

In several viral videos on Twitter, David Moomaw’s invention is seen in operation, both day and night, the same one that he began to put together from scratch last May. He himself was in charge of cutting and painting the parts of the huge arachnid, as well as building a kind of crane that moves it and makes it appear as if it has a life of its own.

“With so much that has happened this year, I thought Halloween was not going to be the same and I felt that if there was a time when we needed something else to see, it was now,” Moomaw told WHP -TV, a television station affiliated with CBS, who said he also has big plans for October 31 next year, although he prefers to keep them a secret.

What is known, is that this project attracted a lot of attention from bis neighbors, both young and old, who flocked to the outside of their home. Whether driving or on foot, onlookers shout out loudly or honk their car horns to express their support, a sort of thank you to the engineer for this amazing entertaining decoration.
