I mean...wow. That was a pretty long scare.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

Hysterical.

We had a monster mask as kids and used to scare the neighbor children (much younger than us) with it. They started to get wise that the monster was never seen with both my sister and I, so Emily stood up the ironing board and put the mask on it. The she stood in the window, while I was outside with the little kids and pulled the board through the curtain so the monster appeared to be attacking her. The little kids panicked and one climbed up me like a squirrel.

HY-sterical

 

[Ghostvirus]

Yeah.

 

[Speedball]

I do that all the time with my cousin, and she loves it.
The kid probably asked him to do it again a few minutes later.

 

[The Shape]

Damn.

 

[Jerry]

Do you wanna know whats so scary?

THE MONSTER!!!!!


Ahh thats great..
That guy is my hero. Who hasn't done that to a little brother or sister. Its fun as hell.

 

[kainedamo]

The guy's an ass. I hate punks like that.

 

[Outsiderzedge]

Terrible.

 

[kainedamo]

It wouldn't be so bad if it were funny, but it's not.

 

[Jerry]

Oh come on!!! The kid is fine, he probably forgot about it the next day. Its not like he is traumatized over it.

 

[kainedamo]

It's weird. You ever see that clip with the kid sitting in front of a computer, and his parents tell him to play this game, then eventually a scary face pops up on the screen?? That thing causes ALOT of contraversy. There was talk of taking the kid away from his parents. I think, last I heard of it, the kid was put into psychological care. Which is just ridiculous.

And that clip was nowhere near as bad as the clip you showed.

 

[Jerry]

Yeah I know what you are talking about. And it ended up to be bull****, the whole thing with the kid going into therapy and talk of him being taken away. It was all made up BS coming from people who are just too ***** and soft about humor like that and have to feel like they need to do something about it. The Opprotunistically Offended is what I call people like that.

 

[Outsiderzedge]

There is nothing wrong with scaring children if they know you are playing. Children have difficulty telling the difference. You have to make sure they understand before you scare them.

 

[kainedamo]

Or too sensitive.

I don't think the kid in the clip you showed has been "damaged" in anyway, but I do think the guy's went a bit overboard, plus it's not very funny.

Now THIS is funny. Years ago, when my older sister was about 12, me and my cousins took a doll, wrapped a blanket around it to make it look like a cloak, so the doll kinda looked like a freaky ghost. Then we got some string and wrapped it around the neck of the doll. My room is directly above my sister's room. One of my cousins was talking to her in her room and made sure her curtain thing was covering the window. So, we lowered the doll from my bedroom and made sure it was hanging just outside my sister's bedroom. We went into her room, and we started talking about ghosts. The genius of this is, we built up and built up. Telling freaky stories about ghosts, when we might have seen ghosts, etc. She was getting pretty creeped out.

Then... someone pulled back the curtain, there's the doll looking like a freaky ghost hanging outside, looking like it's floating. My sister screams her head off for a good 5 minutes. THAT is funny.

Wow thats fun. "Hey little bro, listen up, I m going to scare you very much! But just remember its just kidding around, its not real. Ok? I love you." Yeah that kinda kills the whole idea of scaring someone. Plus the whole point of what he did was to go overboard. The kid was scared because of him but when he started to run away from the kid, the kid ran with him because he actually thought there was a monster. Its just funny seeing that.

A simple laugh or smile should be enough.

 

[Jerry]

From the person you are trying to scare? You know whats so scary to me? How soft everyone is becoming.

 

[kainedamo]

I agree. People are too sensitive these days. Still think the guy in that clip went a little overboard though. But like, who cares... it's not gonna damage the kid.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

It's children man. You have to be different with kids especially. Geez. It's not being soft. It's just called good parental/kid skills.

 

[Space Moose]

Awesome!

BULLS**T. When I was a kid, my parents would let me watch horror movies. I'm talking s**t like the first Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Massacre here. I saw A Clockwork Orange the first time when I was 8. And at the time, they freaked me the hell out, yes. Oft was the time I made sure I was home before dark simply because I didnt want a guy wearing a mask made out of skin to cut me in half with a chainsaw. But it made me stronger in the end, because I eventually had to just think "Those are just movie, they're not real and not that scary because of that." And I also got a great appreciation of horror movies out of it. So if some guy running into a room yelling "The monster!" is going to scar a kid for life, that's cause the kid was probably coddled and made weak his entire life, which is the real abuse there.

No, I was killing my friends and burying them in the root cellar long before I saw any scary movies...digging a good sized hole when you're 5 is hard
