If you can see a cheeky ghost with legs in less than 15 seconds, you have the eyes of a hungry vampire.
The stunning artwork depicts a park full of trees, bushes, benches and people ready for the spooky season dressed in terrifying costumes.
From pumpkins to witches, the cool image challenges people to figure out which of the ghosts are real-life villains and which just lay on the sheets for the night and left their feet on display.
The art shows nearly 50 ghosts without legs and only one that does, making it a difficult task to filter through all the unwanted ghosts.
