Terrifying Elevator Pranks

[Jeebus]

A Brazilian hidden camera show's latest prank has become a new viral hit.

The prank involves a truly terrifying stunt involving unsuspecting members of the public getting a huge fright in an elevator.

With the lights of the elevator going out, a young girl in a ghost costume steps into the small space clutching a creepy looking doll before screaming at her new guests

Last month, electronics company LG pranked several elevator users by making the floor panels looks as if they were falling beneath them

Brazilians have a poor sense of fashion.

From Candid Camera, to Punked, to this! Old ideas (and bad ones even back then) put on steroids.

What is wrong with people?! I'd never get back in an elevator again!

Little did you know that today you would be moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. That you would be crossing over into .....

I think I would have to hurt the prankster after being revived from a heart attack. My G-d!!!

I love this type of stuff. I used to really like that show Scare Tactics back in the day. They had some good ones... like the one where they had a Sasquatch attack a group of campers. Good times.

I jokingly posted this on nationals as a possible elevator in the Whitehouse. The little 'ghost' is a terrific actress.

When the lights flicker, I see black bars across the video, not the lights going out. Something seems faked about this.

[SoSad]

I didn't know we were supposed to run it by factcheck.org and just thought it was interesting.

I hope this isn't legitimate because if it is, how sick. There is nothing funny about this so called prank.

SoSad--

Just saying. Something didn't look right about it.

I wonder why idiots feel the need to pull stunts like these on others. If someone did that stunt on me (I have a fear of heights) they might not like my reaction.

When my daughter was 13 years old she was so frightened by a character in a haunted house that she swung around and punched him. First, and only, time in her life that she hit another person. We were asked to leave. This is far worse since no one expects it. So, yes, I can imagine someone getting the stuffing beat out of them. And I would cheer for him/her.
