Your neighbor's Halloween decorations are often meant to make you feel a lot of emotions -- but probably not like this.

Twitter user @tasmen recently shared their friend's rather-topical Halloween display, which draws inspiration from Peter Parker/Spider-Man's (Tom Holland) death in Avengers: Infinity War. The decorations feature a Spider-Man suit transforming into a pile of leaves, while being cradled by a pumpkin version of Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).

The end result is both heartbreaking and a little inspired, especially with the fall leaves working as a proxy for Infinity War's infamous dust. And considering the fact that Spider-Man's fate is pretty up in the air at the moment, as fans wait to see what happens in next year's Avengers 4, it will surely play with some emotions as well.

"We made those deaths impactful- emotionally, because you have an emotional connection with those characters and it's difficult taking someone like Peter Parker and putting him in that position," the Russo Brothers said of the film's deaths earlier this year. "What 16 year old wouldn't want not to go in such the way it's shown so we set up that relationship between he and Tony Stark in separate movies to lead to that moment- it's a father-son relationship. It's painful to watch. Certainly the most painful to watch is the Gamora sequence because Thanos is a horrible despicable creature- who believes that he sincerely loves her- which makes it a lot harder to watch. So we try to complicate things emotionally because our job as storytellers is to tell the best story we can and make your experience as many emotions as possible when you watch the film. Because ultimately it is a- you're paying money to go see it and if we can make you laugh, cry, happy, sad and feel catharsis- you get a lot more for your money than just laughing or just crying."

Of all of the Infinity War deaths, Spider-Man's has certainly sparked some questions, especially considering the fact that Spider-Man: Far From Home recently finished production. Holland has kept things rather vague in terms of where the film falls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a sentiment that those behind the scenes at Marvel seem to share.

"It's a good question and it's certainly the bigger question about audience expectation and you know too much about how Hollywood works or release schedules things like that, does it hurt your enjoyment of the movie?" Infinity War and Avengers 4 co-writer Stephen McFeely explained about the Avengers 4 and Far From Home of it all. "We can't make movies for people who read Variety, you know what I mean?"
