Halloween, in general, has always been the hotspot of anything related to jokes, spooks, and pranks. Although considered a nonreligious or religious holiday depending on which culture you are in, everyone from all around the world could agree upon that the said holiday is always the perfect pranking time! Let’s face it: being the life of the party is a hard thing to do, especially when you don’t have a list of Halloween party prank ideas at hand.
Don’t worry, prankster, everybody here at Ownage Pranks lives by the saying “there’s always going to be room for pranking,” and yes, we didn’t just make that up!
Pranksters (like us) gather at one of our favorite holidays of the year: Halloween. It is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31. Also, remember never to be a terrible friend that would harm their friends for the sake of a successful prank! Before we go on with our list of fun Halloween party prank ideas, it is essential to trace back the rich history of this spooktacular holiday.
*Warning, nerd alert ahead!*
This popular tradition originated from an ancient festival where everyone wore costumes to repel ghosts. Its commemoration marks the day before the Christian feast known as the All Saints. Could Halloween be more interesting?
Also, it is the evening before the first day of the feast became a holy, or hallowed eve, hence the name Halloween. Here’s another fun fact: Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows’ Eve—the OG name of the said holiday!
If fake bloody footprints, prank calls, and spooky heads in the fridge sound fun to you, then you’ve definitely come to the right place! Get ready to see every fake spider dominating the town! Keep reading and get your pen and papers ready because we have ten eerie but harmless prank ideas if you want to entertain (or piss off) your Halloween party guests.
Oh, one more thing: we also have a compiled list of Halloween tricks for trick and treaters. You might want to check it out if you are up for some harmless prank ideas to do to anyone who may come knocking at your front door for that sweet piece of candy!
Onto the list!
Head in the fridge
We always have that one friend who can’t seem to get their hands off of your precious fridge, and we’re here to help you get rid of them and their habit of doing so! Do this simple trick and make it seem like collecting heads lying around the neighborhood is your hobby:
Print a photo (preferably the size of a real head) of someone’s face. We prefer using the face of incredibly famous people (Ariana Grande or Katy Perry may do) or someone from the party to spook it up to the next level. Prepare a jar and fill it with water. Once you’re done preparing the materials needed, all that’s left to do is put the head inside the pot filled with water.
Human is served
It isn’t a Halloween party if there isn’t a prank that involves food and human body parts. (Now that we’ve mentioned it, it doesn’t sound like an appetizing combination after all, but that’s what we’re here for, right?) If you could stomach pranking your party guests into thinking that you’ve served them a dead man on the dinner table, here’s what you need to do. First, you may use cauliflower as the brain, boiled eggs for the eyes, carrots for the fingers, sausage for the intestines, and many more! The list goes on and now it’s up to you and your imaginative mind to think of food substitutes that look like human body parts. Bon Appétit, indeed!
Bloody drink
Nothing beats a refreshing, cold drink when you get tired from all those trick-or-treating you and your friends have done the entire night. Whether you want something alcohol-free or one with a bit of punch to make the night a little more fun, we have two easy, bloody drink recipes you can do to amaze (and spook!) your Halloween party guests!
Witches’ Blood Cocktail Recipe
-
Pour the cherry schnapps, vodka, whisky, and lemon juice in a pitcher or in a cocktail bowl.
-
Add a generous amount of ice and stir well until everything is well combined.
-
Gently pour in the cherry soda and stir carefully to combine.
-
To serve, either pour into a punch bowl for guests to help themselves or serve in sugar-rimmed glasses for a little fancy garnish.
Bloody Halloween Punch
If you want something non-alcoholic for the kids (or the kids at heart) to enjoy, follow this straightforward recipe: combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda in a fruit punch bowl. If you want to make it a little bloodier, add a few drops of red food color or use punchy, red-colored fruit juices such as pomegranate or cherry juice—as simple as that!
Mask over mask
If you’re planning on doing this prank, we award you the Ultimate Prankster of Halloween badge because this next one is certainly NOT for your faint-hearted or clown-fearing friends. This simple yet proven effective prank will surely make you the life of the party in an instant. Alright, you need two but different scary Halloween masks, and the idea is simple. First, place the mask on top of another mask and once you’re ready, find your target and ask him or her to remove your mask and watch as he or she jumps in fear upon seeing that the person behind the mask is—wait for it—a man behind another mask! Genius, isn’t it?
I killed a friend
Warning: this next prank requires an incredibly believable set of acting skills. If you have some to none of the needed prowess, ask an accomplice with that drama expertise to make this next spine-chilling prank a success. Alright, here’s what you have to do:
-
Pick an accomplice, preferably a close friend.
-
Ask that close friend to make it seem like you and him or her is in a heated argument. (Now, this is a crucial step so better make it really, REALLY believable!)
-
When you feel like someone’s watching you and your accomplice. Go to a bathroom and have your friend shout as loud as he or she can—as if he or she is calling for help!
-
Have your friend hide in the shower and drench him or her with fake blood and splatter some on your clothes and on your hands as well.
-
Get out of the room and watch your party guests gasp in shock because of thinking that you’ve killed your friend. Yikes!
Haunting Sleepover
If you and your friends decide to cap the night off through a not-so-peaceful sleepover, then better keep that pranking spirit alive through this Haunting Sleepover prank. The idea here is simple. You want your friends to open their eyes with fear as they wake up from what they sought to be a refreshing good night’s sleep! Just prepare fake spiders or a rubber snake and all that is left to do is to salt-bae those on top of your sleeping friend! It's for sure that even your macho bodybuilder friends would scream at the top of their lungs because of this prank!

Simple balloon prank
Extending the list of easy and simple prank ideas is the classic balloon prank! This prank is your payback for those guests who like to go around your house touching your stuff without your consent. Fill your cupboards, pantry, and closet with red balloons and watch your friend get frightened with what they thought was just a harmless balloon. See, we weren’t lying when we said this was an easy one!
Satisfying, isn't it? Do you think your guests would touch your stuff without consent again? We think not!
Fake hair dangling down from the ceiling
This one never gets old! You can do this almost every Halloween and still make your friends panic! The next time you go and visit your local costume shop, grab a cheap wig that might come in handy, especially at prank-worthy nights like your Halloween party! To prepare for this next prank, you need to stick the wig that you bought into your ceiling and make it seem like someone’s hair is dangling down from your ceiling! This is one of our favorites since this can also be used as a scary decoration for your Halloween party!
Bloody footprints/handprints
Don’t let that fake blood go to waste because we know you hoarded A LOT for the Halloween party of your dreams. The premise of this prank is to make the party-goers believe that you have invited a bloody guest. Here is a list of things or places you may put your *fake* bloody footprints and handprints:
-
The windows to make it seem as if someone came peeking and watching from outside
-
The stairs to make everyone frightened by the fact that someone bloody might’ve come sneaking into the house
-
Cupboards and fridge handle just because the *fake* bloody person was a hungry one
Dip vegetables in melted chocolate
This next prank idea is something you may serve to your lovely guests along with that fake human concoction we told you about earlier. Fool your party guests and make them believe that you’re serving them a real dessert at a night filled with anything related to Halloween! Alright, here’s what you have to do. First, cut off various vegetables of your choice (carrot, broccoli, squash, or anything you have lying around) into bite-sized cubes. Next, melt white or milk chocolate (we suggest doing both for choices), then dip the vegetables you’ve cut into small pieces into it. Serve and watch your guests be gagged by this out-of-the-ordinary dessert!
