Outdoor Halloween Pranks for Trick-or-Treaters
Every year, you give out candy to all the adorable neighborhood brats: all they have to do is ask for it. They get a sweet deal, while you have to drop a lot of money on pre-packaged goodies. Likely, you get nothing in return but the occasional “Thanks!” from a costumed mummy or ghost as it runs away from your door.
The following tricks are quick to execute and inexpensive to set up. You don’t need to spend a hundred dollars on a robotic, voice-activated, life-sized werewolf, purchase CDs of scary music, or spend hours preparing for a few good scares. Just be creative! Simple household items can make wonderful props for giving the local trick-or-treaters a fright along with their candy, as is shown in the following five plans.
