Thread: Funniest Scares?

Baron - I am wiping tears from my eyes at the moment, thanks to Funnyballs.
That may be one of my favorites, to date. Ingenious, daring, and stealthy - what a wonderful mix.

Oh, and condolences on your wall...however, congrat's on the method!


One other scare I managed a couple years ago was on one of my own progeny, who was attempting to sneak up on me.
She, and two of her friends, were out ToT'ing, and were coming to our place during a lull in the crowds.
I spotted them on the opposite side of the street from us, saw them huddled in a whisper, and thought they'd need a good scare.
I crept through the shadows, around a car, and waited for them to approach the front yard - they were so intent on scaring me, they didn't notice when I stepped in behind them, and quite literally got within 2 feet of them.
So, daughter in the middle of her two friends - all holding each other and looking for me.
I leaned in behind them, tapped the outside shoulders of the girls on the sides, and simply spoke a quick "ha!" right in the ear of my sweet, innocent, conniving little daughter.
The explosion of their own screams, combined with them all trying to run in different directions, caused them so much panic that they simply bumped into each other again and again, negating their own escape. Which gave them a bit more panic.
Finally, all clutching each other, they calmed down...she'll still give me a punch to this day, when I bring this one up.
All so very worth it.

this was my first year doing a full-out haunted house and one group took us telling them they had to find their own way out of the dot room to mean they had to find their own way out of the house and ended up running the whole thing again before we could stop them. And I mean running, screaming, freaking out. The layout is just a big circle, but as in the haunted mansion the way out sorta disappears once your inside, so they thought they were going forward, when really they were retracing their steps, and this was a mixed group of adults, young kids and teens.

in college I saw the movie Scream. that night I went to bed. Around 2AM the light in my room came on and in came a cloaked figure with a scream mask on. I bolted up screaming and went for my shotgun I keep for skeet shooting and home protection. the guy was my room mate and It took him forever to calm me down. lucky for him no one got hurt.

omg that's hilarious haha

lololol

haha ok i have two that i thought were funny...

1. Ok...so one halloween a couple years ago i was trick or treating with my sisters and my best friend. well, we get up to this one house and it has a "scarecrow" sitting on the porch holding a bowl of candy with a sign that says "Take One."

Well, we all pretty much know it could possible be someone really sitting there waiting to scare us so my friend (she gets very scared easily. And she's the kind of person who, when she gets scrared, she swings a punch just out of reflex. She even broke a ride at an amusement park because of it) anways my friend says "if you are real, you better not freakin jump or even think about scaring me cause i WILL punch you out of reflex." So we walk up and each take a peice without being scared or anything. Well, one of my sisters, who was like 16 or so, is behind us and she's the last to go up. Well, as soon as she does, the scarecrow jumps a bit and says "Boo!" Well, she screams way loud and deliberately jumps off of the porch and into some bushes!! We laughed so hard for like 5 minutes before we could attempt to pull her out of the bushes haha

2. This other one happened my Junior year at highschool. It was halloween at school and we were aloud to wear our costumes. So i dressed as Edward Scissorhands that year. And since i was a girl, it seemed kind of out of place when i was standing around in the hallway with some of my other girl friends talking. We were right outside the gym and we were all like huddled in a circle just talking. Well, these two cheerleaders start walking towards us just chatting it up and they stop behind me and i can hear them talking and one of them says "i wonder who that person's supposed to be dressed as..." and so i turn around. well, i guess the girl wasn't expecting what she saw cause she freakin screamed bloody murder and ran down the hall not stopping. her friend ran after her laughing and my friends and i were like rolling on the floor with laughter haha. I even did that to a couple more people that day too. lol

First let me just say this. As a police officer for more than 20 years I've had numerous times when I've had the chance to scare the "rookies". And it's almost as good as scaring teenage boys. (Those are stories are for another time
But a few years back when pirates of the carribean just came out I did a Pepper's Ghost effect where I would change from a live pirate into a skeleton and then walk up to the Tots. Well one young boy was frighten so badly he fled screaming and dropped his bag of candy. I kept his candy bag hoping he would come back. Funny thing is that he came back the next year and I still had his candy bag and gave it back to him.

That is just wrong...

I have a couple not that bad but funny nonetheless...

A friend of mine was coming over one night, i had to go out and feed the dogs and it just got dark. I saw him come up the drive and snuck around the other cars. When he parked and got out. I jumped out running towards him. I never thought a 200 lb man could leap over the hood of a truck so fast. I was laughing so hard i hurt my side. I still get hit when i tell that story.


A group of us got together after college for a little mini reunion at a friends house. I was storming out with lighting and all that jazz. no rain yet. Well they all thought it would be fun to watch the original halloween movie. We were about half way in to it when i remembered i had some coveralls in my car and my friend had the mask. I snuck out and put everything on. I then snuck around back where the tv sat and there was a large sliding door. As they watched i could see someone start to point and others would wave him off like whatever. Then out of sheer coincidence at a pivotal scare point in the movie, lightning flahed and they coudl easily see me in the yard walking toward the door. they scattered like roaches when the lights came on. Once guy got so scared he ran out of the house, to his car and peeled out never to return fo rthe rest of the night. It was awesome. It did help matters that i am 6' 3" and stocky built.

It was a quiet night, the town was very quiet, an old Chevy pulled up here with two guys and three girls but two of the girls were too afraid to come in the house.(The Ravens Grin Inn)
As we were upstairs the owner of the car looked out the window just in time to see the two girls drive it away.
"!#%#^H%*! I told her not to drive my car!"
A few moments later the car returned and he asked me if I had any old masks and things they could borrow?
"I have alot more than masks."
I provided them with some old blue jean work jackets, masks of course and some hand-held weapons (real garden tools)
As I stood looking out the second floor window with the one girl brave enough to be in the house we watched these guys creep up to the back of the car, the girl who had been driving it was still behind the wheel, she saw them, started the car, pulled it into gear, the car moved maybe three feet, then stalled!
Meanwhile the two unknown personalitys were surrounding the car, meanacing with noises and steel-edged "weapons!"
She turned the motor over again as her fermale passenger was screaming and going bananas, the car moved another few feet, she killed the motor AGAIN!
Just as if it was some low-buget horror production, she started and killed the engine numerous times and never got the car moved more than probably 15 feet the whole time! (Not far enough to escape the goon-squad, obviously!)
We were laughing alot watching this from the second floor window.
Of course later on the girl trying to drive away from fear tried to say she knew that it was them all the long.
I doubt that.
