Halloween Pranks & Tips!
Halloween is the Night of Tricks
As the classic tag line suggests, Halloween is not only meant for tasty treats, but also for some playful tricks. Before I proceed, keep in mind to that with any scare tactics you have to apply good judgment. Don’t go around scaring tiny trick-or-treaters, instead save it for older people who are generally expecting to encounter a good scare on Halloween night. Also, funny or not, please focus on pranks that are not destructive to anyone's property or well-being – it just isn’t cool anymore. With all that said, ready to spook up your Halloween? Then here are some thrilling ideas for pranks that are sure to trigger some reaction!
1. Dress up as though you are a Halloween Decor for your lawn. The most important factor when it comes to spooking is the element of SURPRISE. Camouflaging as an inanimate decoration can really frighten someone; just imagine their surprise when you suddenly spring to life! Examples: scarecrow, zombie, Frankenstein, tree etc.
2. Reverse trick-or-treating! Get dressed up, knock on door, and when a person answers, put candy into his/her bowl. This one will be a great mind boggler since when do trick-or-treaters give treats?
3. Corpse in the candy casket. First you take a full sized coffin and fill it with candy. Place the casket in the front yard by the door post a sign that says take one. Find a full body costume or scary mask that could pass as a corpse and set it in the midst of the candy. For best effects, have hands or body parts jut upwards so that people will spy them. Upon further investigation the person will get a huge fright when he/she catches a glimpse of what might be underneath. Or if you’re really patient, get in the casket and pile the candy on top of yourself. Lie still until someone reaches in then give them the shock of their lives!
4. Give away fake, plastic turds for treats. Sure it sounds gross at first, but kids and adults alike will find this ingenious treat to be a real well, treat. It’s original and everyone gets a good laugh out of it. Not to mention, it serves as a great memento so that they will never forget your house.
5. Get dressed up so you are unrecognizable. Join a group of trick-or-treaters, preferably some that you know and just keep trailing them. It will drive them insane not knowing who you are and for the faint hearted, it’ll cause them to start panicking.
6. If you’re hosting a party then before guests arrive, have someone dress up and discretely "haunt" the route your guests will take to get to your house. Later on, tell a "true" story about someone who died a horrific death around your neighbor/house and the how the ghost still haunts the vicinity to this day.
7. If you’re handing out treats or simply setting a candy bowl for your party. Put in fake spiders or other insects near the bottom. As your unsuspecting victims reach in to grab those tasty treats, they’re bound for a creepy surprise!
Now that I have armed with these pranks, you can rest assured that no one will call your tricks clichéd and boring on Halloween night. Remember, they are sure to give everyone a scare so pick your victims wisely les you want to wind up with some unhappy parents in your face! With that in mind, go out there and start your planning, after all what would Halloween be like without Halloween pranks?
