i am thinking about prior experiances scaring people i remember last year as a stalkaround costume dude, i scared like five kids to the point where they ran out of the yard WITHOUT there candy, at that point i would pick up the candy and put it into a corner if they should return id give it back. but all in all i ended up keeping the candy and gave it to some freinds.


what are some of your experiances scaring people or getting scared

My hubby makes the BEST grim reaper - he stands out in the yard by the tree like a statue and I love it when the teens walk up to him all like "hey, I'm not scared of you" and then he jumps at them - instant screams everytime - even from teen boys, who think they're too cool (but yet are still trick-or-treating!).

A couple of years ago, I dressed in black sweatclothes, pulled the hood up, put on black face paint, wore yardwork gloves, and draped myself, all awkward angles, over the candy cauldron on the porch. On no less than two occasions that night, a kid (older, joe-cool type, one girl, one boy) approached me, inspected me, and pronounced to the friends "That's so fake!" before reaching for the bait....


Note to self, however: next time, be sure to do this on the ground floor. The girl shrieked and bolted, and only avoided falling headlong down the porch stairs by what seemed a miracle. For about five seconds, she looked like she was suspended on strings, literally tap-dancing on the brink of the top step. She made it down, eventually, but I tell you, there was some serious miscommunication going on between her legs and her higher faculties.

I used to dress up as Michael Myers and would sit by the front door under the door bell. I would slouch and have my hands covered by the shirt that was really baggie so it looked like it was poofed out. When people would come to the door they would just kind of look at me and try to figure out if I was real or not and would just reach over me to ring the door bell and I'd jump up at them and they would freak out. I had one girl who thought I was fake but wouldn't come to the door anyways and I jumped up and she was screaming in the street. The next year I wasn't Michael Myers and kids were asking why I didn't do it again. LOL

we used to do a yard at a friends house years ago.

we had some plywood grave stone a coffin ,witch on the porch.
and I was dressed as a pchyo killer guy thing.and was chained to the oak tree.

everyone would walk up drive way looking at the coffin,we had it placed were they had to pass it with they're backs to me (I would hide behind the tree)they'd be looking at the coffin and I would come up behind them .they would turn a scream (fogetting about the coffin) then my buddy (dracula) would jump out of the coffinand give them a 2nd scare.

we had a teenage girl (probably 16-17) start crying she was so scared.

we even made the paper one year.

This year I'm going to repeat what I did last year...

Last year, I dressed up as a grim reaper, as sort-of a last-minute cheap costume. I've had a black cape, tunic, and hooded mantle for year, as well as skeleton-hand gloves. Last year I added a cheap mask, and skeletal feat to wear over my shoes. I also grabbed a candle-lantern that I already had, and off we went to enjoy halloween evening. Total cost (not including what I already had) was something like $15. Here's a picture of it: (Me, 2004)

Well, I would stand _very_ still, and let people walk up to me. Sometimes I'd slowly turn my head to track them walking past, other times I was completely still.

One group of teens (joe-cools, of course) came up at one point when I was completely still. The girls were asking "is it real?", and one of the guys walked up to me, and got within about 6 inches of my face, and turned to them and said "nah, it's a dummy". As they started to walk away, I slowly came up behind them... the girls just seeing me move in their peripheral vision at first started screaming.

Another group, which I watched intently but with slow head motions, was equally amusing. One girl moved left, then right, and started freaking out, shouting "oh my god, it's looking at me!! why is it looking at me?!?!" I was nearly cracking up underneath that mask.

At another point, I had walked up the street, and found a mom trying to take a picture of the kids she had there (probably 4 or 5 kids). I came up behind her, which she couldn't see since she was firmly planted to the camera viewfinder. I raised my arms up and loomed over her, and the kids all started shouting "behind you! behind you!" I walked away before she turned around, and I heard "what? there's nothing there"

What a blast it was.

Last year I set the inside of the house up so it looked like a circus. The door bell would ring and I would pull the door open with fishing string. I wore a clown costume with a horrifying clown mask (blood dripping from the teeth and eyes.) I sat in the center of the foyer at a piano with my back to the door. I had happy circus music playing everything was fun and happy. I drop the lights hit the fog and strobes. I change the music to a gothic demented tune with me pounding on the keys. I turned around to face the door and standing at the door was a mother and a little boy. The mother turned and ran to the street screaming leaving the little boy at the door. The little boy thought it was hilarious to see him mom running away screaming.

One year I was dressed up in old work clothes, gloves, and a cheap mask. I stood beside the front porch which wasn't much wider than the door, and pretended I was a stuffed dummy. Some teenage girls came to the door and asked my father in law if I was real, and he said "I don't know, why don't you touch it?"! One of them leaned over the railing and pushed on the forehead of my mask with her finger and I kinda leaned back and rocked forward and backward like I was fake...then I jumped at her yelling with my arms out!! I swear, she floated screaming for a second while her feet fluttered around under her, and no word of a lie, she peed her pants!!!

Dude, that is awesome. When I get my own house I'm going to be doing stuff like that. Classic.

yea another story of mine is i just got an air compresser last year on halloween i would stand very still and a air compresser hose was run up my costume to where they couldnt see it so they thought i was a dummy and i would stand over the candy bucket and when they put there hands in to grab one i would shoot them with air and chase them, this resulted in more candy for me! and of course i had a few criers(teens too)
