Top 5 Halloween Pranks*

Halloween is coming up and there’s nothing to do. You’re too old to go trick – or – treating and there are no good parties to go to (or you’re too broke to go). Instead of sitting at home watching cheesy Halloween movies while stuffing your face with candy, why not go and prank people? I’m not talking about egging house or throwing toilet paper on trees, those things are child’s play. I’m referring to the craziest and funniest pranks that would surely help you score high in the history of all pranks. Here are the top five craziest pranks you can perform on Halloween:

5. Pizza Delivery Trick – or – Treat

Around trick – or – treating time, order some pizza. When the pizza delivery person shows up, give them some candy and tell them how much you liked their costume. When they try telling you that their “costume” is their actual uniform just cut them off and say, “Wow, you’re really good at impersonations. Good night and Happy Halloween” – quickly close the door and wait a couple of seconds afterwards. Open the door again and laugh at the confused look on the person’s face, while paying for your pizza.

4. Christmas Caroling

This prank sounds lame at first but when actually doing it, it turns out to be pretty sweet. You and your friends dress up as Christmas Carolers, make a sign that says “tips” or “please donate” and go door to door singing Christmas songs. What’s better than getting weird looks and puzzled faces from people? How about getting weird looks and getting some cash at the same time? Instead of trick or treating for candy, with this get up, you get to trick or treat for cash. (This prank will work better in a wealthy neighborhood.) (saynotocrack.com)

3. Wrap a car in saran wrap

Ok, before doing this prank, make sure the one who you’re going to do it on won’t press charges on you. With that being stated, go ahead and do it. The saran wrap won’t damage the car, so there are no worries there. In order to cover the entire car in saran wrap, you should have at least 15 rolls of it. If by chance you get caught, just say that you were protecting the car from getting egged or shaving – creamed. (gremlin-dog.com)

2. Stalker

This is a good way to scare people. Wear a costume that would cover up your whole body, (like the Scream costume) and a weapon that looks close to the real thing as possible (chainsaw, knife, etc). During trick or treating, find a group of people and start following them from a distance – keep on following them until they notice you. Once they see you, stand there for a moment, then start rushing towards them like you’re ready to attack them. After chasing them for a good minute or two, just walk away like nothing happened.

1. Burning bag of poop

In order for this prank to work, you need to make sure that someone is at home and that the person doesn’t have a wooden deck. If either one of these issues are a concern, then don’t do it. If done properly and safely, this one would definitely make your night worthwhile. If you’re afraid of risking getting in trouble with the cops then just simply put the poop on the deck and call it a day. (gremlindog.com)
