This is pretty elaborate — great spider costume, “limbs” and human-looking things caught in giant webs of rope, the camera angles are set up perfectly — but the all-star of this prank is the willing dog. This pooch was like a thoroughbred running out of the gate at the bell.
A nice thoroughbred, though. One without fangs. Or a mean bone of any kind.
That doesn’t mean its victims weren’t freaked out to the nines.
Watch for this video to be the premise of a “Sharknado”-style SyFy movie soon.
