Help me freak out my roommate

[Nekonaruto]

Another idea is to use an iPod or something small rather than playing the sounds over the PC. But that might turn out to be a problem for the timing, unless you just have the MP3 be like 2 hours of nothing and then noises.

Another thing to fuck with his mind, even though it's really subtle, would be to change around the items he uses on a daily bases, that usually are at the same spot.

He sleeps with a gun under his mattress, I'd probably be shoot if I did that.

Now that I think about it more seriously, Halloween jokes between roommates are funny and all but please don't get shot if/when you try something we suggest. Thanks.

The more I think about the invincible clown the more I wish I were in your shoes to commit this heinous prank.

[Senoska]

Get a hold of hsi cell phone, change the ring tone to something like fucked up song/noise, call him in the middle of the night. Also, stash YOUR phone with a fucked up ring tone in his closet and call it from Skype or something.

This might work for ya: The ThinkGeek EvilTron

This fiendishly small device features six creepy sound choices perfect for frightening your "friends" and co-workers. Simply choose your favorite sound (or use the random mode), place it in a dark hiding spot and watch the madness begin. Perfectly suitable for dorm, office and home use. Or try putting it in someone's car - that gets them every time.

Your Highly Tested EvilTron Sounds Are:

• Something unsettling creaking
• Unidentifiable scratching sounds
• Gasping last breath
• Sinister child laughing
• Eerie whispering of 'hey, can you hear me?'
• Random Mode

If you can get bumps in the night going for a few days, the best payoff will be, imo, do the noise where's like a loud animal and a thump on the system at full volume.

Before the sound goes off sit in a chair in his bedroom or even in the living room dressed to the nines as a clown, make-up and everything. Just sit there quietly in his room ( if possible ), light comes on, ???, profit.

The witch sounds from L4D.

Buy some potatoes and dress them in doll clothes. Talk and play with them as if they are your friends. Specifically name and dress one like your roommate. One day, bake and eat the roommate potato.

Should combine all these ideas somehow lol

You can schedule a task in windows to run a program. So pick the mp3 you want to play, schedule it to run at wierd times, set the volume to whatever and have fun. You can also do it with pps files and make a scary slideshow while he's watching TV.

Anyways: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks. Then add a task and follow the instructions. Just browse to the file you want to play.

Fuck it, just crank up the dead space's twinkle twinkle little star in the middle of the night.

[AoE]

Fuck the passive-aggressive shit, if you make more money fuck his ass up and threaten to throw him out.

[Militant]

My advice is to never scare a superstitious man who sleeps with a gun under his pillow.

This x 1000.

[Xiona]

oh forgot to add;

Hire Robert Stack (the host from Unsolved Mysteries) to voice over his evening after you cut the power to the house. Be sure to use a battery powered stereo to play the theme song from the show via candle light...

at least this would work on me... hell even playing an episode of that damn show would get me

[Mojo]

Heh, thanks for the ideas. Some of the suggestions are very direct, I'm looking to be more subtle (to the point where he'd never think it was me.) I'm gonna be working on some sounds, when I'm done I'll post them here so you can listen to what I'll be exposing him to.

[zoobernut]

Sounds wise I think there is nothing freakier than little kids singing but really softly and in a creepy way. Someone said it before but the twinkle twinkle little start part in Dead Space is a good example.

[Eratosthenes]

Want sounds that will really freak him out? Get personal. Get his mother in on the joke; ask her for some recordings of her whispering his name, calling for help, etc. Make him think she died.

[Not not Mattaru]

Once my sister left Evil Dead in her DVD player that was connected to the stereo system rather than the TV, so even if the TV was off you could here the menu going. It was like 2 weeks til she figured out the DVD player was left on with the volume really low repeating the main menu.

Was pretty freaky for awhile.

If you're going for noises you should use some that would only make sense in his room, such as creaking floors if you actually have hardwood floors that creak or if there's some stairs and you can hear them from his room use that. Another one might be a tree scratching the side of the building if he has that setup.

IMO something that would probably freak me out would be a very faint voice speaking. Sort of like voices of people praying in church in a different language (italian, french, latin). If he has bad hearing he'll probably not hear it lol.

[510Meeze]

What kind of shitty entertainment center has a procedure to turn things off?

You sir, are a dick.

Also: I'm full in on invincible clown if you could not get shot while doing it, it would be fantastic. You could also take his gun, drop out the magazine and clear the chamber and he would pick it up and click click click terror ensues.

You could also do all of this stuff to ramp up his paranoia with sounds and what not and end it off with something large. You could try hiding under his bed with a smoke/flash grenade (homemade, easy to do btw) pop it so his bed starts smoking then once he notices it (since he won't be sleeping he will notice it) throw your body into his bed and time that with a scary noise and you should be golden.


EDIT: Either empty or remove his gun either way xD Don't want any accidents.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

Or better yet replace his gun with a clown horn.

Hide under his bed. As soon as he turns the lights out, reach your hand out from under the bed, and try to touch his face. He'll freak the fuck out.

I didn't think this would be scary til I tried it on my sister. Oh man! XD
