A giant bat has become a hilarious public nuisance in France. Just on schedule for Halloween, outrageous French filmmaker Rémi Gaillard incarnated a harmless-looking bloodsucker to annoy his countrymen.

In a hysterically funny viral video, an oversized man-bat hangs out around cash machines, parking garages, toilets and elevators, surprising people going about their daily business – and joyfully frolicking to the Ghostbusters theme song. A few respond angrily, others scream, and some get the joke.

Gaillard “occasionally ran into some trouble while shooting his videos”, but apparently his issues were “never of the legal kind”. Most of the time, the maddening bat just flapped its wings and sped away.
