Take a remote control helicopter, an eerie-looking skeleton costume and some scary sound effects and you’ve got yourself a hell of a Halloween prank.
The more devious amongst us will be plotting how best to scare the sh*t out of friends, family and complete strangers over the Halloween period and if you’ve got a lot of time on your hands and are prepared to put a bit of cash and a lot of effort into it, you could do worse than follow the example set by American comedian Tom Mabe.
Mabe went to the effort of covering a remote-controlled helicopter up with a scary skeleton costume and then used to it to scare unsuspecting strangers by creeping up on them at a fair pace and scaring the living sh*t out of them with a well-timed scream.
Although filming it would be a tad more difficult, it might be a tad more effective if the prank was performed in the dark but it’s before 9am in the morning and it still frightened us so it’s likely to work regardless of who you play it on and whatever the time of day.
Certainly one worth keeping in mind with a view to unleashing it on Halloween next Wednesday.
