Use prank gadgets and practical scare strategies to terrorize
your friends to death so that you all of you can laugh your hearts out
afterwards. If there’s one thing I love about Halloween, aside from the festive
feel and decorations, are the heart-pounding screams from unsuspected victims,
which none the less translates to yet another wonderful memories. Here are some
of the best gadgets for your Halloween party pranks:
Remote control giant rat. I
was on the search of finding out which city in the world has the biggest and
scariest rat when I came across a rat fan club website dedicated to New York
sewer rats. The discovery alone surely did make me smile until the next on the
list had a shocking headline. My jaw dropped upon reading about two giant rats
that ate 2 babies in separate locations in South Africa. There is even another
headline of a cat-sized rat caught in the southern part of China. So with that
said, giant rats are definitely scary! What’s more scary is having them crawl
up to your guests’ feet in an unsuspected time and place; perhaps underneath
the table while eating or playing poker. 
Crawling bloody hand. What’s
great about remote control or crawling bloody hand prank gadgets is that you
save yourself from some potentially serious injury from a victim with Taekwondo
or Kung Fu reflex. As far as terrifying your friends, a bloody severed foot or
head works well too but I remote control fun is mostly available in the severed
hand versions. Bloody body parts will definitely give a thrilling adventure
just by the sight of it because they remind us of horror movies which are
another element of Halloween. When choosing your bloody body part prank
paraphernalia, keep it mind that it must look realistic. What can be more
realistic than the one that has a life of its own? So go ahead and let your new
Halloween buddy practice some crawling around even before Halloween.
Hairy
big black tarantula. In South Africa, there is a spider specie
that actually prefers human blood, just like vampires – the Jumping Spider
(Evarcha culicivora). The typical scary tarantulas are big, hairy and feel
creepy to the touch. Most people get eerie feelings just by looking at it. They
have eight hairy legs as hairy as their round body, creeps up to fast as in
their fast; who wouldn’t get scared of that? However, almost all of the
tarantula enthusiasts will tell you that tarantulas are mostly harmless and in
fact shy. Well, maybe their right unless you have a few friends who think
otherwise. Until then, tarantulas are Halloween prank worthy and you should be
able to help it claim its terror glory. Try practicing how to maneuver it in
cupboards where you can ask a favor from your victims to reach for the can of
tomato sauce or anything.
Small plastic critters and crawlers. They
are dark grim and nasty. The key here is how real those plastic posers look.
The feel of it usually relies on their crawlers. Excellent candidates are
centipedes and cockroach. Choose those that are very dark, like almost black in
color. You can be creative in using these critters strategically like putting
one of them in someone’s Halloween drink or stuffing it in your best friend’s
burger. Another idea is to put in a chips bag while watching a horror movie.
Living
jack o’ lantern scarecrow. This one never goes out of style. One
good version is dressing up as a scarecrow with gloves, long sleeved shirt and
shoes. Wear a shirt underneath and make sure your skin is not visible in any
angle. And then stuff your shirt and sleeves with dried pine straw to get the
real scarecrow look and feel. Carve up a pumpkin to the face you want and cover
the holes by sticking a black paper inside. Just put tiny holes for your eyes
and nose. And then wear a jack o’ lantern and sit on the porch bench complete
with other decorations around it. When guests arrive, startle them anyway you
want.
Severed
head screaming on the buffet table. It’s a tasty Halloween
prank that will leave your prey screaming. This is very easy to pull off.
Simple put a hole on the table that where the party food are placed. The hole
should be big enough for your head. Put on some scary bloody Halloween make-up
or none will also work. Place a scarf on around the hole so that the it’s edges
won’t be visible. Then put a big and opaque dish cover. Insert your head
through the hole and wait for your lucky victim. When someone lifts up the
cover prepare to give her or him a nice and creepy scream.
Important
reminders:
Mind
your victim’s health – you wouldn’t want to cause an untimely
delivery of someone’s baby because of you prank, so please don’t do it on
pregnant people.Another thing to consider is avoiding pranks on people
with a serious heart condition or any heart condition for that matter. Dead
bodies are fun when they’re fictional.
Having a high blood pressure can potentially be dangerous
as well so try to avoid scaring people who has that health condition.
Food
and pranks – if your prank involves putting a plastic cockroach in
your friend’s hamburger or spaghetti, be sure to wash the critters clean first.
Never
miss a beat – pranks are made to add joy to an already
joyful event or to revive a day that’s hanging by a thread. The point is that
all pranks are expected to create unforgettable entertainment and most of them
live up to the expectation. Be sure to capture everything on tape and relive
those great fun in the future.
