While prank videos are all the rage, most of them are fake (sorry, but it’s a truth you need to accept). Still, there are plenty that are real, and even more that are incredibly entertaining.
But let’s be honest here, they’re getting tired, and it takes a lot for us to be impressed. Running through the streets in a clown costume isn’t going to cut it anymore.
That’s what I love about the prank Warner Bros. staged for The Conjuring 2, in theaters tomorrow. Done for a Brazilian television show, this prank features actual scenes from the film, and are done in such a realistic and frightening way that you actually feel sort of bad for those being goofed on.
James Wan, the director of the two films, introduces the set up that places a mark in the room with a young girl who is slowly revealed to be possessed. The crosses on the wall flip, the young girl levitates out of bed, and then a ghastly nun makes an appearance.
I hope we see this in a maze this coming Halloween somewhere…
