Will this work, and is it in bad taste?

ProjectFEAR · #1 05-24-2012

I'm planning on putting candybars with fake razor blades in them, somewhere where people will see them. I don't know how to do it to get a decent scare out of it, I don't want to be just sticking them in people's faces because I don't want to get arrested.....it's a pretty creepy idea if you think about it, but....I'm not sure how to make it work right. Does anyone here have any ideas about this? And is it a bad idea to do this?

most likely your going to get you arrested, glad you asked here first before you did it. you could have had people calling the police and suing you a great deal of money. I would not recommend doing this at all.

Bad idea and I think most parents would consider it to be in poor taste. About the only way this might work would be if it were staged as part of a scene in a haunt showing urban legends associated with Halloween.

I agree with RoxyB. Not only would it probably get you in trouble, but it would help add ammunition to many paranoid parents and those that dislike the most fabulous holiday, IMO...

Bad idea IMO. I wouldn't do it.

Definitely not a good idea. I agree with Roxy; it might work if staged properly. Still, you just know that some uptight parent will flip out, make a huge scene and call the cops.

Generally, we want people to embrace Halloween, not be afraid of it, and even fake blades will scare people, and all it will take will be one person getting something caught in their throat before they are at your door with the police and a lawsuit that will have numbers that closely resemble a phone number, with lots of zeros behind them.
Don't even joke about blades, poison, or anything of that nature, there's way too many idiots out there already who want to do away with Halloween, don't give them any excuses or ammo.

Well just in case all the rest of these wonderful folks didn't convince you. I can says this is just wrong in every way. At the very least of what could happen to you. You might get stomped on by a mob of angry people before they ever knew they were fake. Being a parent I can tell you if I thought somebody put a razor blade in my kids candy, there would be know questions asked. It will be dark maybe even fog. So good chance they wouldn't know they are fake. Buy one of those spirit spiders, sit back and laugh. In the long run it will not only save you a ton of money, but that is entertainment.

Does anyone think he/she can get by with fake broken glass made from sugar candy - as presented by master criminal Martha Stewart?http://www.marthastewart.com/856109/...glass-cupcakes
