Franzoli’s quartet of Tesla coils performing the Halloween standard ‘Spooky Scary Skeletons’. Should he have called it ‘Shocky Sparky Skeletons’ instead? Yes, and I should have been

NOTE: Volume on. This is a video of a retaining wall that was protecting a parking lot giving up the ghost and letting nature reclaim the asphalt, along with several vehicles. I hope they had Farmers Insurance! (They’ve seen a thing or two) One brave motorist even risks it all
