YouTuber Dismisses “Fire Hazard” Concerns as Viral 12ft Disco-Ball Halloween Skeleton Takes the Internet by Storm

YouTuber Ali Spagnola caught the attention of the internet with her enormous 12-foot disco-ball skeleton, crafted for Halloween. This creation has raised concerns among viewers about its potential as a “fire hazard.”

With a substantial following of over 2 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 1.9 million followers on TikTok, Ali Spagnola’s engaging craft and DIY projects have significantly boosted her online presence.

On October 13, she shared a video on her TikTok, showcasing the intricate process behind her stunning creation: a towering skeleton adorned with countless tiny mirrors.

After dedicating nine days and more than 70 hours, Ali meticulously placed 500,000 mirror tiles over the entire surface of this colossal Halloween display.

The video became a viral sensation on TikTok, prompting many users to voice their concerns regarding the decoration’s safety, particularly with the sunlight reflecting off the multitude of mirrors.

One user remarked, “All I think is fire hazard hahaha.”

Another added, “Isn’t that a fire hazard because of the mirrors?”

A third user commented, “Gorgeous. But could cause a fire in direct sunlight.”

In response to these worries, Ali spoke with the New York Post, asserting that her skeleton is entirely safe, having confirmed this with a “YouTube scientist.”

“It’s not dangerous at all,” she explained. “The disco mirrors scatter the light in various directions, meaning they don’t focus the sun’s rays, which would be the cause of a fire.”

Despite the fire hazard concerns, Ali’s skeleton has gained popularity among her neighbors. Due to its considerable height overshadowing nearby yards, she has encouraged local residents and trick-or-treaters to come take photos with the festive figure.

There’s even a possibility that she might keep the skeleton up through December, transforming it into a holiday decoration by adorning it with Christmas lights.

This creation adds to the growing list of viral trends on TikTok this October, such as the Interpretive Dance challenge, where participants creatively express themselves to obtain permission for various tasks.
