The Fake Bug Surprise
Want to give someone a quick scare? Place realistic-looking fake bugs (like cockroaches or spiders) in places where they’d least expect it—inside their shoes, cereal boxes, or even their beds. Just be sure the recipient has a good sense of humor and isn’t too afraid of bugs!
Toilet Paper Mummy
Wait for someone to take a shower and, while they’re inside, unroll a significant amount of toilet paper, placing it all around the bathroom. When they emerge, they’ll find themselves in a mummy’s tomb. Bonus points if you add some spooky ambient music.
Jelly Soap
Replace hand soap with clear gelatin. Prepare the gelatin as per the packet’s instructions and pour it into the soap dispenser, allowing it to set overnight. The next morning, watch as your family members try to figure out why the soap isn’t lathering up!
Candy Switcheroo
Buy some candies that look similar to popular favorites but have an unexpected taste (like sour instead of sweet). Replace the regular candies with these trick candies in bowls or packets and watch the amusing reactions.
Floating Ghost
Hang a white balloon covered with a white sheet from a ceiling using transparent thread. Add two black dots for eyes. In the dark, this floating apparition can give anyone quite the scare, especially if it’s hovering just above their bed when they turn off the lights.
Spooky Silhouette
Cut out creepy shapes or silhouettes from black paper or cardboard. Attach them to windows. At night, with the lights inside the house turned on, these shapes will look like eerie figures to those outside, giving passersby a slight fright.
Soap That Doesn’t Lather
Paint a bar of soap with clear nail polish, letting it dry overnight. The next morning, place it in the shower and watch as the victim tries in vain to get it to lather up.
Shoe Surprise
Stuff some tissue or paper into the toe section of your victim’s shoes. When they try to put their shoes on, they’ll be baffled as to why their footwear suddenly seems several sizes too small.
Creaky Door Ambush
Attach an airhorn or a squeaky toy to the wall or door frame, positioned so that opening the door will trigger a loud noise. It’s an old trick, but the surprise it generates never gets old. Just make sure it’s safe and won’t cause any accidents.
Faux Remote Control
Cover the front sensor of the TV remote control with a small piece of opaque tape. Hand it over to someone, and watch as they press the buttons, puzzled about why the remote isn’t working. When they’re sufficiently baffled, remove the tape and reveal the prank.
