Funniest Mask Scares 🎃 #afv #halloween #pranks

A clown-masked prankster enters a kitchen, and the woman he approaches screams and drops to the floor. At the office, even a cubicle offers no protection: Michael Myers walks up behind someone working at her desk.

AFV Shorts' Halloween mask compilation moves its scares through ordinary places, from a lawn chair to a reception area. The costumes change, but the setup stays recognizable: someone is getting on with their day while somebody else waits for the right moment to interrupt it.

The compilation reached roughly 564,000 views in its first 14 hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's Shorts. Its comment section was already more than ten times as busy as a usual full first day.

Much of that conversation centers on the final home-video sequence, where a woman continues talking indoors while someone in a Michael Myers mask stands outside the glass door. Viewers also pick out an incongruous costume detail: the masked figure's Grateful Dead shirt.

Elsewhere, a staff member opens an exam-room door to find a scarecrow waiting inside. Between the kitchen, the cubicles and the clinic, AFV's collection gives its Halloween disguises somewhere rather less predictable than a costume party to turn up.
