Home Depot says it will pull the Scary Peeper Creeper from its shelves after a woman who saw the Halloween window decoration in a Markham, Ont., store complained it makes light of predatory behaviour against women. A description on Home Depot's website says the Scary Peeper Creeper is "perfect for scaring friends and family during Halloween or any other time of the year." A manufacturer's website of what appears to be the same product (referred to as just Scary Peeper) features a video that shows how the decoration can be used as a prank to scare someone. A woman opens the blinds and is shocked to find the Creeper staring back at her. Woman applauds Home Depot's decisionHunt-Wells says Home Depot made the right decision, but the Scary Peeper Creeper should never have appeared on store shelves.
