One of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are falling, temps are cooler, and Halloween is coming fast. I've done some research and have found some excellent pranks for the coming day. Please share if you have some of your own. We'll start by scaring the wife!

This may very well be the easiest and yet most effective way to scare trick-or-treaters. Dress up in a scary costume and then sit on the porch as still as a statue. On your lap, place a bowl of candy with a note attached that reads: “Sorry we’re not home. Please take one piece of candy.” As kids approach, they won’t know if you’re real or fake. When they reach for the candy, spring to life! Growl, howl, reach out for them, or yell, “I told you to only take one piece!” This is an especially good way to give the snotty kids who grab big handfuls of candy a little comeuppance.
Here’s another simple and effective method for creeping kids out. Dress like the grim reaper and stand like a statue on the side of your porch. After the kids get the candy from your accomplice inside, simply start following the kids off the porch, trailing behind them, reaching out for them.
While you're at it, follow people around while dressed as the grim reaper. Wear all black clothing and cover yourself with a dark robe. Then, walk around and follow people from a distance. When they notice you, point at them with your Index Finger.
Keep the lights off to create a spooky scene for scaring people. Darkness is key to getting a good scare because it allows you to creep around without being noticed. Turn off the lights in your house. If you need to have a light on, use a bulb with an orange or red tint for a creepy appearance.
Personally, as a child, I was most frightened by the Flying Monkeys in the Wizard of Oz. Whoever thought that one up, had quite the imagination!
