A funny video has emerged of a man using Halloween masks to scare his son in a supermarket.

The footage, shot in October in the UK, shows the boy screaming as he sees his father walking up to him with a clown and a werewolf mask.

"His screams or terror ring around the stores and you can see the fright in his face especially from the wolf his colour drains and the shriek is loud," the father wrote.
