Have Fun Scaring Your
|
Email pranks are easy to do and, while some are better than others, many do a great job at scaring people out of their wits!
Okay, so maybe you know someone who deserves a good scare! How about that brunette who said she'd "get back with you" about going to that scary movie? Who knows...maybe she'll have more of an interest after discovering your scary and fun sense of humor? :) Ready to find out? Great, let's get to it...
First, check out my all new scary email prank! It's part of my new Scary Greetings collection! Well, okay, so there's only one in the "collection" right now. ;-) But hey, that can change...I might make more if it's well-received. All the details on my new scary flash email prank are on my
Scary Pranks main page!
Here's a collection of some of the best email pranks I've run across...
This one should scare 'em good. Just right-click on the link and select "copy". Then paste the link into an email to your "victim":
Can You Find the Difference in These Pics?
In the subject line of your email pranks, it's often best to just stick with a brief intro…perhaps something along these lines: "Observation Test…Can you find the difference between these pics? I did! -(your name here)"
Naturally, the recipient will likely want to prove they can do as well as you. So, by saying *you* found the difference between the pics, chances are good they will take a close look to see if they can spot it as well! ;-)
You're going to love this Hearing Test (opens new window)...
Similiar to the Hearing Test above, this Hand-Eye Coordination Test (opens new window) supposedly diagnoses one aspect of your "victim's" physical condition.
Check out this great Color Blindness Test. As one who has this condition, I'm always interested in occasional testing to see if my color vision has improved any (fat chance!). A great email prank to send to those who you know are color blind. Even those who aren't often enjoy confirming it to themselves with these tests. So, go ahead and take advantage of their curiosity (or vanity as the case may be).
Here's a good observation test! See if they can Find Waldo!
Here's a similar one that may be just a little *too* convincing...
A friend at work sent this to me and, naturally, I suspected this "game" was "another one of those email pranks".
Well, after I got to the beginning of "Round 3", I gave up and exited because I could see it would be impossible to finish that round and, since nothing scary happened yet, I figured it was a legit game, right? Wrong!
The next day, after I forwarded it to my niece, she wrote back saying how mean I was and how it scared her so bad. Ah-ha! The gig was up. I replayed the "game" and, sure enough, if you try to complete "Round 3", it'll let you do it but it comes at a price! lol.
A good subject line for this one might be: "Careful, this is addictive!"
**Update** The link to the 3 level game seems to be dead now (if anyone else finds the game elsewhere, let me know). So here's another version with only two rounds, but it's still a dang good effect!!
Dexterity Test.
Regardless of the results of these self-diagnostic tests, your "patient" always receives a rather "unorthodox" treatment at the end! Don't you just love email pranks? ;-)
This one is great email prank for someone you have a close relationship with, especially around Valentine's Day! Is your "victim" a fan of The Exorcist? Great, even better! ;-)
Love U Message (opens new window)
Again, just copy and paste the link into an email to your "target" with a short subject line. This email prank begins as an "I Love You" type of message so think of a suitable subject line to go with it as this helps catch people off-guard. For example, try this for a subject line: "Thinking of you..." ;-)
This email prank should bring you good results:
What doesn't belong in this picture? (opens new window)
Again, it's best not to say much in email pranks except for a carefully worded subject line. Of course, never direct them to "Turn Up Your Speaker Volume". It can be a dead-giveaway to anyone who previously experienced scary email pranks. My suggestion is to use a subject line like this: "What doesn't belong in this picture? (I found it!! :-) –[your name])"
A great one around Halloween... This email prank is perfect near Halloween because people will not be surprised to receive this nifty
''Fright Gauge'' (opens new window).
It even tells them to look for a "ghost" in the windows of the spooky house. It gives a rational explanation as to how this will test their "visual acuity". All this "heads up" to your victim, and it *still* pulls off a good scare effect. How cool is that!? :-)
This email prank didn't seem to have any audio and is not as startling as the others, but still a bit fun and eerie…
What doesn't belong in this room? (opens new window)
Copy and paste the link into an email and follow the same guidelines outlined in the email pranks above for choosing a suitable subject line.
I'm including this next one not because the "punch line" is scary (it's not--it's funny), but because the setup is scary. For many people, the thought of having their driver's license available to anyone online is enough to scare them out of their wits when nothing else will! So, if nothing else works on your "victim", send them this link (opens new window) by right-clicking on it, then selecting "copy" and then "paste" it into an email with a brief note along these lines: "Unreal!! No wonder identity theft is such a problem!!"
Got any great scary pranks you've used on someone or someone used on you? Maybe you've seen a great horror movie or read a great scary story or book you'd like to tell us about? Or perhaps you've had the frightful opportunity to actually visit a scary place or "haunted" Halloween attraction and want to share your experience?
***I regret I've not been able to keep up with the inbox in long time. As some of you know, I've been working on another project which has required all of my time lately, so please don't send emails to this site as I won't be able to respond here. but I will continue to try to keep this site updated occasionally. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to hire someone to check emails, post new content, etc. on a regular basis.
