Thread: Halloween Pranks

Does anyone have any pranks that are fun to do on friends and that would scare them?

Depends on the age of the friends...

My kids are scared by someone jumping out and yelling...

I'm terrified by being named a defendent in a civil suit...

There's a lot of ground in between those two you can cover...

my friends are 15 years old , but one gets scared really easy and i'm having a halloween party and was wondering what i could do to scare them

Kara 315,


I used to work with a woman who had 7 kids (ugh!!! I can't imagine trying to make 7 different costumes every year!!!) anyway, her oldest son used to dress up as a scarecrow and lay on the lawn, face down, near their front entry pathway, as the little trick or treaters walked by he would reach out and grab their costume or ankle or treat bag!!! LOL now, remember that people are weird these days and could sue? also, this is not a great "gag" for older people who come to the house with Heart Conditions and High Blood Pressure...also, remember...some kids have asthma or heart problems too...so .... in conclusion... may be you could do something similar without actually "touching" the Trick or Treat ers.... Like maybe suddenly sit up and moan or something...but they did say that this "trick" of theirs was the hit of the neighborhood and that everyone got a kick out of all the squealling and screaming and giggling!!! Halloween is so fun....hope this helps out?

Something on the same line.
Put out a stuffed scarecrow, about two weeks before halloween. This gets people use to seeing the prop. Then on the big night replace the stuffed prop with a real person dressed up as the prop. Anything they do will scare the crap out of most people.

I would not recommend laying down where people could kick you as a position to scare somebody from.
They could kick someone right in the face or eyes, or break teeth out.
In one haunt a short guy showed up to work , they put him in a werewolf mask with a woman's fur coat and since he was short, he was told to "Crawl around", a very few minutes later he was complaining about his ribs hurting, someone had kicked him in the ribs(It was so easy to do this) he got some ribs broken......

If your friends homes have a mirror in their bathroom that fogs over from the shower then this will work for you:
Go visit each friend, excuse yourself to the bathroom. On the mirror write with your finger something frightening like "GET OUT", or "I SEE YOU". Breathe on the mirror, creating a fog, and the letters you wrote will appear. Do not wipe off let it dry. The oil in your skin prevents water from forming on the mirror where you wrote your letters.

A great joker will never claim responsibility, let someone else say they did it for fame and fortune, then they will also be the one that takes the fall. Two for One I love those.

If you have seen the movie Gothaka (sp?) on a glass window it said "Not Alone", same idea, well when I was in the shower my daughter did that on our bathroom mirror, I scared her as I ran into her room and said "Not Funny".

Ever sence that I always do it on hotel bathroom mirrors

Ooh -- great idea HouHaunter - love it, love it! What an evil mind! I hope I can use it sometime. Most of the friends we visit - we don't get to use "their" bathroom very much - mostly the kids or 1/2 bathrooms. Don't want to really freak out wee little ones! But I like how your mind works!

Oh they have kids - which means there are baby monitors about. SOOOOOO hide the receiver in their room, take the other piece (can't think of what it is called) that records the sound, and have fun late one nite. Also works with those those good walkie talkies and they have a better range. Down side you might not get it back. Don't forget to make those sounds from the movie Signs.
