Halloween is right around the corner, and the spookiness is in full effect. Many a doorstep is outfitted with pumpkins that have paid fresh tribute to the cause. Halloween's also undoubtedly one of those seasons where people just love to get extra immature with everything. Sometimes, this can result in quite the onslaught of cringeworthy, or downright terrifying life situations. Hopefully this AskReddit thread serves to make you feel a bit better about any unfortunate times that you were on the receiving end of a Halloween prank that took things just a bit too far.

    Font - Godhelpmeplease12 · 1d 8 Awards I was like 7 or 8 and dressed like an angel. parents took me to the science museum where they set up little houses for the kids to trick or treat in. I got soo much candy and was so proud of myself. But when we left, all my candy was gone. The little boy behind me had been taking scoops of my candy and putting it in his basket. I cried. 6 Reply 4 9k 3 ...

    Font - AcadianADV• 20h 1 Award I was 12 and a man yelled at me and told me I was too old to be out trick-or-treating. I felt so bad I gave all my candy to my little brother and just walked with him for next hour or so. When I got home my mom asked me why I didn't have any candy so I told her what happened. She asked me who said that to me and I told her which house. I don't know if she ever did anything about it. But since l've become an adult and bought my own home, I don't care if your 90 year

    Font - Supertzar2112 · 23h I grew up in Northern Canada and when I was probably 5 or 6, I got me a Darth Vader costume, one of those vinyl costume and capes with a light sabre and thin plastic mask. I thought I was so cool back then. Well, being northern Canada, it was exceptionally cold that year, like below -30C. I went out that evening bundled up and ready to show off my cool outfit, but it was so cold, the costume just cracked and disintegrated as I went around the block. Due to the weather,

    Font - yabunsandthighs · 1d Choked on a gobstopper. Heimlich got it out of my trachea but it then got stuck in my esophagus and I got it down with some bread. My throat hurt for days. My parents called an ambulance but we got it resolved before they came. Super scary. I have two young kids now that have been getting gobstoppers/jawbreakers on Halloween since they were 2. I always take them out and throw them away. O G G Reply 4 372 3 ...

    Font - Gobak2sleep · 1d I went upstate in NY to spend Halloween with a buddy at SUNY New Paltz and a huge snowstorm knocked out the power until the next day. Turns out costume parties are significantly less fun with tons of snow to walk through to get to them and 0 light to see with. O 6 G Reply 4 68 3

    Rectangle - bathofknives • 1d My mom was pretty strict with how much candy I was allowed to eat on Halloween. One year, after some annoying begging, I finally got my mom to say "eat as much as you want."

    Font - NotCookedSalad • 19h It was -10 degrees Celsius so naturally I wore a jacket over my costume as did my friends. Went to a woman's house only to be denied "candy" cause we weren't "wearing" costumes even though they were under 3 layers of coats and such. Said woman then lectured us on how you can't get free food just cause. Turned out the "candy" was a st ty granola bar and the house got egged and tp later that night G Reply ...
