When we were all little, the most devious thing we could do on Halloween is sneak away a can of shaving cream and a roll of toilet paper. We would tee-pee people in our neighborhood’s trees and put shaving cream on their cars and let me tell you, we thought we were bad-ass.
But today, there are way more devious things we could do on this eerie holiday. Let’s look at the top devious tricks for Halloween 2010.
1.Halloween Tricks: Dress up as one of your friend’s significant others.
This happened to my roommate last year. One of her boyfriend’s friends pretended to be her boyfriend…he wore the clothes, hat, walked the walk, and when she ran up to him she not only had the surprise that he was not, in fact, her boyfriend, but she also had the scary surprise of her boyfriend jumping out of a bush from behind her and freak her out. It’s mean, it’s nasty, but it’s Halloween.
2.Halloween Tricks: Pumpkin Smashing
It is not rare for college students to still partake in pumpkin picking and decorating traditions, but instead of decorating them with a gapped-tooth smile and triangle nose, us college kids get a little more into the decorations and create pumpkin masterpieces. We proudly put our pumpkins on display, and what do you know? Not only 24 hours later are they smashed in. Sucks for us pumpkin artists, but I’m sure you smashers will enjoy every second of your job. Yet some pumpkin displays are just too good to smash…
3.Halloween Tricks: Hide in Vacant Locations
Of course, university buildings should be locked when school is not in session, say on the weekends. But sometimes a few buildings do remain unlocked for whatever reason. Dress up as something scary and hide in one of the vacant and unlocked buildings and as people walk by, tap on the windows or make loud noises without being seen and guaranteed it will freak them out.
Sidenote: you can do this one from your house too!)
4.Halloween Tricks: Campus Mischief
Instead of tee-peeing a tree on a neighbor’s lawn, I’m sure some of us will feel it necessary to move up in the world and tee-pee our college campuses. This is harmless and lots of fun, but just be careful and scout out your territory beforehand because there are probably a lot of surveillance cameras throughout campus. Don’t forget though, it is Halloween, so it is fully appropriate to wear a mask hiding your identity.
5.Halloween Tricks: Wormy Drinks
It may sound hard to scare a whole party of college kids on Halloween, because everybody expects someone to try to do something scary, and it probably is, but you could still have some fun without petrifying your friends. If you’re hosting a party, you could put gross candies like gummy worms in the bottom of cups and be the “designated drink pourer” that way no one suspects anything weird. When they get to the bottom of their drink and those worms start moving, I’m sure the looks on their faces will be priceless. They’ll hate you for five seconds, but only for five seconds.
Have fun on Halloween and remember: the more pranks you do, the more fun you’ll have.
