Halloween Spookfest

Popping out of trashcans, hiding in leaves, and wearing spooky masks could only be one time of year. Looking for the perfect Halloween prank? They are all right here.

Who doesn’t love scaring treat-or-treaters? The classic prank is to sit on your porch absolutely still, in a costume of course, and wait for the kids to come up and grab candy. You reach out, grab their arm, and they take off running. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the kid will hit you with their candy bag too.

Raking leaves is a typical fall activity, for most. Kids like to play in the leaves, and adults like to hide in the leaves. When your family goes out to rake up the big pile you jump out and they will paranoid for many seasons of raking to come.

No one hates trick-or-treaters more than the ones that take more than a few pieces at a time. One way to solve that problem is to place the candy outside and watch from window. When they start to be greedy just start yelling at them and screaming, they run away almost every time. This will work until you get the cocky kids, who are too old to be getting free candy anyway. They are almost always the reason why you can’t leave your candy alone on the porch.

If you wanted to play a more ‘adult’ trick hiding in your friend’s house is definitely the answer. There is nothing more terrifying than going home and having someone pop out of your closet. I think everyone is afraid of being stalked in their own home, but some people are too tough to admit it. Well let me say, when a dude in black clothes and a crazy mask jumps out of your closet while just laying on your bed, you will be scared!

Halloween is definitely the holiday of holidays for the pranksters of the world and these are just a few ways to make the day “special”.

I love Halloween pranks. My old neighbor was this guy, probably around 55 or so. He was so into Halloween it was ridiculous. One year, he covered his entire house in those fake spiderwebs, but he put real spiders in them. Then he put a bunch of crap in the web, including a dummy that was being hung from a tree, which was right over the path leading to the front door. He placed a scarecrow under the bowl of candy on the porch. Now everyone was thinking, "He is dressed as the scarecrow." He wasn't. A few hours after dark, he used a harness and some pulleys to suspend himself right where the hanging dummy was. He would let people take candy, but as they left his house, he would drop out of the web using the pulleys. Greatest prank ever.
