Halloween pranks: usually toilet paper and egged windows, right? Not for this Virginia family, where a doorbell cam captured three masked maniacs in full horror-movie mode—slashing throats, threatening to bust in with chairs, and declaring themselves “your worst nightmare” for a solid 10 minutes. Shayla’s heart plummeted as she and mom barricaded inside, dialing cops who arrived in two minutes flat. National viral frenzy ensued, with police clocking 100+ hours hunting what seemed like burglars from a slasher flick. Twist? The “intruders” were teens aged 14-16… related to the victims! Aunt and cousins in costumes, plus adults filming from the street. No charges, just a “moral failure” per the chief—because nothing says family bonding like faking a home invasion. Lesson: stick to candy, or your prank might need a police escort.
