Here are some ideas for scary tricks for Halloween.

Dress up as though you are Halloween Decor for your lawn. Example: scarecrow, Frankenstein, etc. When anyone walks by, jump out and scare the heck out of them. Another idea is to lay flat on the lawn, pretending to be in a grave marked with a tombstone. Imagine their surprise when you rise from the dead.

Visit friends’ houses and write on the mirror with your finger, delivering a scary message such as “I’m watching you!” Breathe on the mirror and you can see your words. Let it dry naturally. When your friend takes a shower, the words will appear again when the mirror fogs up.

Get dressed up so you are unrecognizable. Join a group of trick-or-treaters, preferably some you know. It will drive them nuts not knowing who you are.

Decorate your yard with all things superstitious. Ladder, black cat, broken mirror, crows. Put the number 13 on your door.

Traditional, ring doorbell and run.

Gather neighbours jack o’ lanterns and line them up on the sidewalk in middle of the block.

Before guests are to arrive at your Halloween party, get someone to dress up and “haunt” the route your guests will take to get to your house. Later on, tell a “true” story about how someone died a horrific death and the ghost haunts the neighbourhood.

At your party, keep a cooler on hand for beverages, and put in fake spiders and insects near the bottom. Someone will discover it sooner or later.

When serving food at your Halloween party, add a fake set of fangs or teeth to the serving bowl.
