Is your sister afraid of the dark? Are your parents easily scared? Great! Now it’s the perfect time to prank them. If you failed on your April fool’s Day pranks, this is the right time to get your revenge. Around Halloween time, your family might probably be already a bit on edge because of the season, so it will not be hard to pull one scary Halloween prank on your family.

The Coronavirus pandemic might have put a bit of a damper on your pranks this year, but this Halloween season, they will not see it coming. We recommend that you surprise them and keep them off their feet. However, a good prank must still be safe and respectful. Otherwise, it’ll just cause them to be annoyed at you. The main goal is to share a laugh and feel the momentary fright attack that they will receive from you. They have to be both scary and funny.

We prepared these 8 Halloween pranks for you to give your family a good jump! Happy scaring!

1.   Mirror Writing Prank

Prepare this prank the night before Halloween. You could use lipstick or ketchup in this prank. Be creative with what you will write in the mirror, the more haunting, the better!  You could note “We’ve Been Watching You” or “You Are Next,” just like the horror film. When your victim takes a shower, they will immediately see this, and it will surely give them the CHILLS.

2. Bugs Bite Prank

If you still have the fake bugs from your previous attempts at pranking your family, it is the perfect time to utilize them! Strategically place these fake bugs where they will never expect them to be. For example, you could put them under their bed sheets so that when they wake up, it’ll give them an instant fright! You could also place them in the food pantry so that a CENTIPEDE will greet them!

3. One Missed Call Prank

This prank is a classic prank that is simple and effective. Scary pranks don’t always need to be about Boogeyman or Freddie Krueger. Sometimes it is just about knowing exactly where to poke your victim with their fears!

4. Zone Out Prank

This prank is easy, and you don’t have to prepare anything. If you hear your parents come into your room, just stare at a random part of your room and don’t say anything. If you are willing to be extra creepy, prepare some gibberish words to recite before they come into your room! If they ask what is happening, don’t respond. Pretend that you are being possessed by the evil child in your attic if there’s one.  Watch them freak out and walk out of the room! Don’t BREAK characters or burst out laughing while pranking them.

5.  Creepy Doll Prank

If you’ve been planning for a long time, purchase a creepy doll in a flea market and hide it from your family. When Halloween comes, place it randomly in your house. Choose the place where they could see it. If no one is watching, change its location to make it seem like it is moving on its own. Just be CAREFUL; you might have bought a real cursed doll. In that case, throw it away! Nobody’s got the time for that! YOU.MUST.PRANK!

6. Creepy Sound Prank

If anyone is using the restroom, you should do this prank. Just prepare a scary sound to play, and you are ready to go. Play it after a minute they’ve entered the restroom, and they will be instantly freaked out by the prank and ask you to stop the music!

7.  “There’s Someone Outside” Prank

Print out a random person’s head and you could find a stock image and cut its borders. Carefully paste it outside the window and slightly cover it with the curtain. When a gust of wind hits your curtains, they will see the random face in your window! Watch them freak out and scream. If you want to scare them, print out the face of “The Grudge” or Freddy Krueger from the “Elm Street film series” and wait for their reaction!

8. Human Sacrifice Prank

You will need a lot of candles for this prank. When your sibling is already asleep, set them up with the help of your parents or other siblings. Just be careful with the fire! Set up the candles around the sleeping victim and hold one for yourself. Chant some gibberish words with your partner in crime until the victim wakes up. Watch them be shocked at what is happening and scream because of fear.
