10 Movie Pranks Gone Horribly Wrong

3. Wormy Skull Prank - The Burning (1981)

In 1976, at Camp Blackfoot, several campers decide that they are going to pull a prank on the caretaker, "Cropsy". Why? Well, because. While the caretaker is sleeping the campers sneak into his cabin and set up a wormy skull next to his bed with candles in the eye sockets. When Cropsy wakes up he is so startled by the skull that he knocks it onto his bed where it ignites his sheets, clothes and ultimately him as well. The boys are speechless as Crospy runs out of his cabin screaming at the top of his lungs in agony. And surprisingly, he survives the ordeal. Five years later, Cropsy is released from the hospital and returns to the camp to exact his revenge on whoever he comes across. Proving once again (as we've already discussed with Slaughter High), it's all fun and games until somebody gets burned alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dISKadWafZs
