The top seven Halloween pranks that you can use this Halloween.

One

Decorate your front lawn with spooky decorations that fit in with your Halloween costume. Put on your Halloween costume and stand near your footpath that leads to your front door very still. Now here’s the fun part, wait until someone walks to your house and when they’re just in front of you and jump out at them saying boo or something like it. Look at the look on their face and laugh. Get back into your position and wait for your next victim.

Two

Ring people’s doorbells but when they answer instead of saying “Trick or Treat” say something random like “Pull my finger” or “Canned Fruit or meat”. It doesn’t really matter what you say as long as they give you candy or chocolate.

Three

Go around and do anti-treat or treating. This means you need a lot of candy and you just go around to people’s houses and when they answer the doorbell you put candy in their bowl and just walk away. Make sure you have a friend handy to catch their reaction as you walk away.

Four

This can really be used any time of the year but it works best on Halloween. Go to a friend’s house and ask to use the bathroom. Breathe on the mirror and when it is fogged up write something spooky on it like “I’m watching you” so when they have a shower it will show up.

Five

Have someone lie down on the side of the road and put some fake blood around and on their head. Go away for a bit and then go back and see it there is a crowd. If there isn’t run over to them shout “Help, someone call an ambulance.” Have a hidden camera and film people as the person playing dead jumps up at them.

Six

Do something to your own front yard like throwing toilet paper all over it or totally thrashing all of your decorations and blame the closest person to you that you don’t know.

Seven

Walk around just joining random groups of people saying you know them. It will be hilarious when they find out that you actually don’t know them. Make sure that you have a mask so they won’t see your face and realise that they don’t know you.
