O.k., I haven’t seen one of these up yet, and 'tis the season… SO here’s my favorite Trick/Scare to pull on someone.
This works best after a night of a few horror movies or scarely tales, and in a place the mark (victim) is very comfortable. At some point during the activities, go into their bedroom or another room you know they will be travelling to. Do this discreetly. Unscrew their lightbulb so when they flip the wall switch they get no light. Now here’s the best part… You need a full body mirror. Place this in the room at a point where it will not be seen as soon as the door opens, but at a point where they can see it from the doorway if they turn.
If all goes well the mark will be rather unnerved by the movies/stories to begin with. When they get no lights in the room this is unsettling in itself, although some oblivious people won’t notice; however, when they turn to see a moving ‘person’ in the room with them, well, you get the idea… >:]
As a kid, I wasn’t really scared by the bad witch costumes, or the lil fake spiders they lowered on your head. So this year, I got to thinking…What would have really scared me?
I came up with what I think is a pretty great idea. So for Halloween this year, I’m going to scare little kids by driving down the side walk.
Yeah, that’s right. I’m gunna jump right over the curb in my grand am gt, put 'er in first gear and aim right for the lil ones.[sup]*[/sup]
This may work for you, it may not, depending on your showerhead.
I did this at college after an outdoor horror film fest one Halloween. I unscrewed the showerhead and put cherry Kool Aid powder in it, then screwed it back on. The first person to use that shower in the morning got blood red water spurting out at them, and damn near woke the whole hall up with their screams.
I tried this later at a friend’s place, but their showerhead wouldn’t unscrew. But if yours does … try it out!
Wow, I love the sound of that last one. Great idea!
My personal favorite, and Mathhew Brock’s too, is the ol’ jumping out and yelling BLEEAAHHH!!! My sister had to endure those until I went to college at 17 and she never got numb. heeheehee.
My friend had a dummy hanging from a noose on his basketball backboard for Halloween. After all the little urchins had quit ToT-ing, we took down the dummy and carried him around the neighborhood like a drunk and passed-out buddy.
Then we thought of a great joke/scare. We went to a dark street (it had no streetlights) and a speed limit of 35 MPH. We laid the dummy across one lane, then hid behind a nearby stone wall. As we awaited a passing car, we giggled uncontrollably. Soon a car approached.
Upon seeing the “body”, it screeched to a halt. We punched each other to keep our giggling down. Then the driver turned on his rooftop array; that’s right, a cop! We surmised he examined the dummy (since we weren’t about to get in line of sight), then went back to his cruiser to use his spotlight to look for miscreants (i.e., us). I couldn’t stop giggling; looking at the red and blue light flash throught the trees and against the houses made me gigle worse. But fortunately, my friends muffled my face enough to prevent the cop from finding us.
He left, and we got up. The cop had taken the dummy, which pissed off the friend who had made it, as it was made using his best jeans and work gloves. Ah, the price of pranksterism…
