Halloween pranks! (I am so doing one of these)

#1 Give away something other than candy. (Toothpicks, golf balls, bags of sand, etc.)

#2 Wait behind the door until some people come. When they get near the door, jump out, wearing a costume, and holding a bag, and yell, "Trick or Treat!" Look at them, scratch your head, and act confused.

#3 Fill a briefcase with marbles and crackers. Write on it, "Top Secret" in big letters. When trick-or-treaters come, look around suspiciously, say, "It's about time you got here," give them the briefcase, and quickly shut the door.

#4 Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-or-treaters come to the door, say, "Come in." When they do, have everyone yell, "Surprise!!!" Act like it's a surprise party.

#5 Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what's wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural "whirring" sound.

#6 After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill.

#7 Open the door dressed as a giant fish. Immediately collapse, and don't move or say anything until the trick-or-treaters go away.

#8 When you answer the door, hold up one candybar, throw it out into the street, and yell, "Crawl for it!"

#9 When you answer the door, look at the trick-or-treaters, act shocked and scared, and start screaming your head off. Slam the door and runaround the house, screaming until they go away.

#10 Insist that the trick-or-treaters each do ten push-ups before you give them any candy.

#11 Hand out menus to the trick-or-treaters and let them order their candy. Keep asking if anyone wants to see the wine list.

#12 Get a catapult. Sit on your porch and catapult pumpkins at anyone who comes within 50 yards of your house.

#13 When people come to the door, jump out a nearby window, crashing through the glass, and run as far away from your house as you can.

#14 Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar.

#15 Instead of candy, give away colored eggs. If anyone protests, explain that the eggs are the only thing you had left over from Easter.

#16 Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-or-treaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay.

#17 Answer the door with a mouthful of M & M's and several half-eaten candy bars in your hands. Act surprised, and close the door. Open it again in a few seconds, and insist that you don't have any candy.

#18 Hand out cigarettes and bottles of asprin.

#19 Put a crown on a pumpkin and put the pumpkin on a throne on your porch. Insist that all of the trick-or-treaters bow before the pumpkin.

#20 Dress up like a bunny rabbit. Yell and curse from the moment you open the door, and angrily throw the candy at the trick-or-treaters. Slam the door when you're finished.

my best friends and I were always in charge of the door for halloween. one year, we got this brilliant idea to give candy and dog biscuits to all the people our age and older. (we decided it would be mean to do that to younger kids.) one of our highschool-aged neighbors came over with her buddies and this foreign exchange student from japan or china or something. apparently the guys decided to use our joke to their advantage, and they convinced the poor guy that in america, it's tradition to eat a dog biscuit on halloween. apparently they taste like cereal.

i like number 2, i could just imagine what i would think.. oh!

and the one with the bunny!

For some odd reason, #3 struck me to be quite funny... that and #14.

**mtlmouth** · 08-06-2005, 06:56 PM

I like #16. It'd be especially good this year, after Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

#3, 7, and 12 appealed to me.
#13 seems like overkill. How much does a window cost? I am sure you could do it with the window open though.

One year I dressed up as a scarecrow, hat straw and all. And held a bowl of candy. When they came up they thought i was stuffed and reached for the candy. I jumped up and screamed at them, they were so scared, Hahahaha

, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays by far!

Oh thought of a good one. Hide laxative pills in M&M's. Then give them to kids!

Can't you get arrested for passing out drugs (even over-the-counter) to kids without their parent's consent?

Yeah... very, very, very bad idea...

and how would you get them in an M&M, anyway?

Dark Tofu · 08-07-2005, 12:41 PM

Dunno I was just thinking what would happen. Bad idea your right, but it would be funny!

(Don't do it!)

Love these! A lot sound like everyday pranks that I have done, such as sitting on a street corner with a black blow dryer to see who slows down!

one of my brothers gave this (extremely mean/rude kid that had been picking on my cousin for months and had received multiple warnings from my other cousin, my brothers, and my uncle to her dad and still disregarded them) girl at his school the ex-lax that's made in candy form. she liked to steal lunches, so he packed it in his. she obviously didn't see "ex-lax" written on the wrapper. apparently she had 8 squares.

it's not really a good idea to give people laxatives without their knowledge, but sometimes it can be well-deserved. I wouldn't do it for halloween though.

RawkforChrist · 08-07-2005, 04:28 PM

mmm I think I'll gather my friends and have a party to prank the kids aye

Dark Tofu · 08-10-2005, 02:44 PM

Ya, my favorites are #7 and #9.
