HOW TO – Shock your Trick-or-Treaters

I’m always looking for a new way to scare people on Halloween. This year, I thought up a way to make people think they are getting electrocuted when they ring the doorbell! It is very simple, requires little to no knowledge of electricity, is cheap, and can be built in only an hour or two once you have all the parts. It requires no permanent modifications to your doorbell. Important: Do not do this if you have a wireless or electronic doorbell. This will only work on the old-fashioned doorbells that are simply switches.

    Lame. I hope the ‘Maker’ for this one gets the crap beat out of him by an angry parent. You don’t mess with kids stupid, it’s a basic rule…even if the gag is harmless, it’s perceived as not.

    Their is a risk that the person’s heart could stop when exposed to an electric shock. This is a really careless project.
