I know that people do some dumb things when they're scared. I've seen people hurt themselves, and before I conquered my own fear of chainsaws I used to do stupid things just to get away from that awful sound (now I am the one wielding the chainsaw and laughing maniacally). I'm curious to hear other people's stories about their funniest scares.
Here's one of mine:
Our busiest nights are usually our best nights for the actors, one of the funnier scares I had was on our second busiest night two years ago. I was substituting for one of my crew while he took a break. While I was in the scene a rather large group came through.. I went through my lines and leaped at them, one of the females in the group leaped backwards into the wall and let out a blood curdling scream.. then as I looked around I realized it wasn't the woman who was screaming, it was her boyfriend. Her boyfriend grabbed her off the wall and threw her in front of himself.. trying to use this poor woman as a shield between him and I. Now ordinarily I wouldn't have found this amusing.. cause I'd seen this type of thing before. The man was about 6'3 and built like a barn, when he grabbed this poor petite woman, in his rush to get away he tripped over her feet and took her down with him.. still using her as a shield, she hit the ground first and her elbow went right into his groin.
I immediately broke character because I was afraid that they were seriously injured. But instead of writhing in pain the man got to his feet.. saw me eyeing them, grabbed his crotch and ran out of the room screaming. His poor girlfriend still lay on the floor in front of me. She said she was fine and got up.. hurriedly exiting the room while yelling ahead and cursing to her boyfriend. Immediately after they left, my co-worker (who had witnessed all this as well) and I could not stop laughing about the situation. For the next minute as we'd pause in our laughter we were still hearing this woman yelling through the house.
Maybe you just had to be there *shrug*

This is not related to Halloween but I love to tell this one:
While camping deep in the woods of the Rocky Mountains, a friend of mine and myself had built a camp fire, cracked open a few brews and just kicked back and enjoyed before turning in. After getting pretty well plastered, we were just winding down, when I felt something cold and wet on my arm. I just moved my arm forward when I heard a sneeze from behind me and by the wide eyes on my friend, I knew that something was behind me. I turned and looked and was looking into the eyes of a wolf.
I turned back to my friend with a smirk when it suddenly clicked......There's a wolf behind me! I turned back around and let out a blood curdling scream.....scaring the **** out of that poor Huskie.
"The last thing you will hear on your way to hell, is your guts snappin' like a bullwhip!"
I have hundreds of great scare stories but dears story reminded me of a unhalloween related story.....
I skydive, on one of my adventures I was sharing a lift with a COUPLE of newbies....at 3500 feet they were gonna do a static jump....well once we hit 3500 their instructor tells the guy to get out.....He says let my wife go first...ladies first
out she goes ...... then he says take me back down......you could hear her for miles around screaming that he better get his butt out of that plane....we went up to my jump point and out I went ......I landing laughing my butt off because I watched her get into THEIR car and drive off.....seems that HE BEGGED her to go skydiving....lol
I'm the best at what I do, What I do isn't very nice
If a guy ever did anything like that to me I'd throw his car out of the plane without a parachute. We'd see how well that would work on his insurance claim.

In high school one October night a guy threw a tremendously huge watermellon against the driver's door of my 1959 Galaxie as I drove passed him. For the next 15 minutes everyone's eyes would get big as they looked at the side of the car as I would drive by, some pointing and saying stuff like, "What happened to your door?"
"Who ran into your car?"
At first I really didn't believe them, finally upon someone's insistance, I got out of my car to see it, I slammed the door and the huge, nasty dent popped right away! The door looked perfectly normal!
I never got to see the dent, let alone worry about getting it fixed.
One night a roudy, stupid guy ran away from my house at the tour's conclusion, jumped up onto the hood , then to the roof of my car (the Spookmobile) and said, "Hey man, care if I drive your car?"
Without even thinking for a second I replied, "Sure, care if I sleep with your sister?"
He got upset at my remark. I didn't know whether he even had a sister or not (and really didn't care, whereas he was scuffing up the roof in his stupidity)
His friends confided in me later that he had a sister, about 17 or 18 and there had just been a family fight because she was moving out of the parent's house! (But she wasn't moving in here!)
Oh, Well?
This guy and his four friends we called "The Hey-Dudes", maybe they were smoking weed or whatever, but all the times they went through my house, all they could all ever say was, "Hey Dude."
"Hey Dude" 147 times in one hour from the four of them, no matter what they were doing or seeing in my house?

Last year I was driving home from work at the haunt and my roomate and I were a few car lengths behind some of my co-workers as we drove down a small backwood-redneck-Texas-version of a highway. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and I rarely drive it with the top or doors on it.. so this night there were no doors and no roof around me, as usual. My co-workers were tossing pumpkins onto the road in front of me.. I managed to dodge two with my expert driving skills, and one slammed into my Jeep.. needless to say, I got sprayed with pumpkin guts (my Jeep is all steel so it was unscathed). I was so peeved though, when I finally caught up to them at the light I played it cool (as cool as any person can look when they're covered in pumkin guts) and waited until they rolled down their window to talk to me.. my roomate and I had shaken up an almost full Pepsi and when their window went down we flicked open the top and threw that bottle inside their car. The boys in the backseat (the pumpkin-tossers) got sprayed with Pepsi and I got my revenge.
Of course, this little incident managed to start a car to car war that ensued almost every night afterward. A little childish, yes.. but fun.

One of my favorite Scare stories is when I was working in a room of a huge haunted attraction. The room was designed as a theater and the show was a guillotine being used to pass through the neck of a victim. The catch is it never worked and always chopped off the head of the person.
With that being said the normal actor who was the victim took the night off so we had another guy replace him. That SAME night the guy’s mother was coming through to see the show (and her son). Not knowing he was relocated to the guillotine she was asking where he was. When she made it to the room, the security staff QUIETLY came in the room behind the group of about 25 - 30 people. When the blade came down and chopped his head the security staff went running up screaming to clear the room and call 911. The poor guy’s mother was having a heart attack. We then invited her back in to see it again (and to see her son still in one piece).
She was laughing after she seen he was OK then she was yelling at him for having the people scare her like that. His reply as classic....
"Mom, you paid to be scared remember".....
And for the record we actually counted well over 50 people (grown) who pee'ed thier pants at this place....
