The Grim Reaper is a character seen in films, comic books, and even old-time animated films. No matter how the mythic figure appears, he always looks menacing...and he always has his trusty scythe with him. Customers choosing to dress up as the personification of Death do need their own Grim Reaper Scythe. This one is awesome and looks exactly like the real -- nightmarish -- thing. Don't worry. The scythe looks like sharp gray metal, but its made of harmless plastic. The black handle has an ominous feel to it as well. The prop can be easily assembled or disassembled for easy storage.
