Clemson coach Dabo Swinney got the ultimate Halloween scare on Tuesday night, as one of his staffers dressed up as a monster and hid behind the curtains during a Swinney pep talk.

As the unnamed monster jumped out at Swinney, the 47-year-old coach screamed while his players laughed hysterically. Swinney eventually laughed himself after jumping out of his skin.
