Viral videos are rarely as cool as this week’s most notable one, wherein a massive version of the Grim Reaper, cloaked in a sinister red robe, stands high above San Francisco, California’s Golden Gate Bridge. The video is not only an instant attention-grabber, but it’s also one that’s mystifying those who watch it. Questions like “What is that?!” and “Is that real?!” abound.
Of course, it’s not real, and we’ve tracked down the source as being artist Justin Leduc, who computer-generated the whole thing so effectively that it really does look, well, real.
The Reaper looms above the bridge as cars drive by, with the insanely terrifying action being filmed from a helicopter. The video is only 14 seconds long, but it’s completely unforgettable.
Cannot… stop… watching…
