Trick Or Treat Zipline for a Social Distancing Halloween

This clever social distancing Halloween zipline will deliver treats in spooky fashion while staying safe.

The day that a lot of kids look forward to most, Halloween, might be quite a bit less exciting this year. Trick or treating during a pandemic doesn’t seem like a great idea for most.

Luckily there are some ingenious ways to send treats to kids, and provide a fun scare at the same time.

This Halloween zip line is accompanied by a ghost-like creature who zooms out to the sidewalk to deliver treats. In this early test, it looks like it’s also delivering a beer to an accompanying father, which gets thumbs up from us too.

Created by Matt Thompson of Thompson Woodworks, it’s a clever and charming solution to this year’s pandemic Halloween. Via LS:

Pandemic Halloween is behind us, but the rig has outlived its moment. Candy chutes, ziplines and porch cannons turned out to be more fun than a bowl by the door, and plenty of houses kept them. For more of the season, see our favorite Halloween GIFs and vintage postcards from the witching hour.
