I wasn't any good at this when I was little. My idea to scare my Mom was to be jumpng up and down on her bed while she was getting ready to go to bed. I would suddenly flop down on her bed and pretend to be unconscious or dead. This never worked. As I got older I got better.
When I was 12 we traveled by car from Oregon to Missouri to visit family and friends. It was a very long drive. My Mom and I loved to stop at all the crazy road side stops; my Dad decided to take route 66 most of the way across the southern part of the US. I'm sure he regretted this after about the 20th stop. Anyway I think we were in New Mexico at this tourist trap. It was a very cool and interesting store; they had those mexican jumping beans, magic tricks, catus candy, jewelry, artifacts, Native American stuff, and all kinds of rocks. Your basic Southwest crap.
So my Mom was the kind of shopper that had to look at everthing in the store, I mean everything. I wanted her to look at some rocks I thought were really cool. She said she would get to them soon. I grabbed her hand and started dragging her away from some trinkets. She weakly protested because something along the way would distract her. She started to get annoyed when she saw something she really wanted. I was really close to my rock; so said we're right here. She said alright what's so great about this rock? I still had a hold of her hand. I dragged her quickly, right up next to it. Then as forcefully as I could rammed her hand right into this big rock. It was about the size of an older computer monitor and looked like granite. She screamed really loud. Everyone turned to look at us including my Dad. Then all of a sudden her scream went from AAAAHHAHHHAHH to-What is that. I bust out laughing and showed her it was just a sponge made to look like a big rock. My Mom and Dad laughed as did most of the people in the store. My Mom had to by a smaller version; as did sveral other customers. My Mom loved to throw this fake rock at people just when they came in the door. Funny at first; until everyone knew what it was.
One of my scare pranks that worked better then acticipated I perpetrated on my new in-laws. I don't know why it worked so well.
My husbands parents had gotten a new travel trailer. His parents and two younger sisters came to visit our town we lived in. They stayed at a travel trailer park, and invited us to come over to see them and have dinner at the park.
I was excited to see them as I really liked his family. So when we got to their space I jumped out first. Went up to the camp site looked around wondering where they were. I saw a big fire in the fireplace, chairs around the fire; but noone was outside to greet us or cooking dinner. My husband comes up and I say where are they? He said they must be inside. As we walked over to the trailer I noticed his sister setting inside leaning on the window reading her book. So I thought haha I can startle her. I run up and yell BOO as I pound on the window. She screams really loud throws her book in the air as she jumps; as this is happening her Dad was standing next to her and he drops his food jumps in the air and screams too. When we opened the door and came in my Mother in-law was angry and confussed. Both sisters in-law(18 and 12) were crying and my Father in-law was shaken.
I was embarrassed since I was still new to the family and they were all annoyed at me. I apoligized and said I had no idea it would be so upsetting to them all. In my family we always tried to scare or prank each other, and if you got someone good we would all laugh and tell the story for years. No hard feelings. I also expected them to be on the lookout for us since they knew we would be comming for dinner. [I mean who doesn't listen to what's going on around you especially at a new place.] We skipped dinner, because they were eating frozen chinese from the microwave. I asked about cooking some hotdogs or steaks over the fire, but they only had stuff for smores. So my husband and I made smores with his little sister who thought the prank was really good; sje was only scared because of her Dad she said. See hadn't ever seen him scared like that before.

Once, I left a fake spider inside a cupboard so when she opened the door it fell on her. I could hear her scream from 2 floors up.
Yea, I'm all original and Shakespeare.

When I was little, I coiled up a rubber snake around the doorknob to my Papa's house. My uncle was coming home that night from 4 hours away and wouldn't be in until late. The snake was one of the rubber kind that's molded to look like it's slithering in a nice loose "S" shape, so I really had to work at making it stay.
The next day I got in pretty big trouble. Apparently, my uncle had gotten in late that night, walked into the dark garage and grabbed the doorknob with the snake on it. The rubber snake suddenly flung free, wiggling violently and dropping into the darkness where my uncle couldn't see it. He started yelling and woke up the entire house, to find a rubber snake on the floor of the garage.

I also had a small prank book when I was a teenager. One of the pranks I pulled was to wrap a rubber band around the sprayer on the kitchen sink to depress the button activating it. I pointed it carefully forward and left it armed.
I'd actually forgotten about it and was out in the yard with my friends when my mom walked out with a huge wet area on the front of her shirt and a very sour expression on her face. Hee-larious.

Not so much a prank, but while waiting to goto Afganistan on an army base in Germany, I couldn't give the exact date I was leaving to my family back home. So here comes the 4th of July, haven't talked to my parents in a few days, called my mom up during the fireworks display. She has a brainfart and doesn't realize that I'm 7 hours ahead of her, and it's night time there. I yell over the loud ass fireworks OH MY GOD, WE'RE FrostED, WE'RE GETTING SHELLED!!!! She freaks out, screaming for my father to pick up the phone. He gets on, knowing I'm full of Shakespeare, knowing that I wouldn't have a working cell downrange (yet), knowing that if I was getting shelled - I wouldn't be calling my parents, and knowing that its the 4th of july, and nighttime where I'm at. He called my mom retarded, and explained everything to her.
She didn't talk to me for almost 2 years.

Oh man she sure holds a grudge. Personally if you were my son I would of sent you boxes of homemades goodies. Then after several batches one would be fish flavored cookies and ex-lax brownies.

Would have sent, Grace, not would of. And people don't set, they sit. What did you, grow up in the south or something?
Anyway, about a dozen or so years ago, I worked with this woman, Diane, who was a real joker. Another woman who worked there, Nancy, was her best friend. My cubicle was just across the hall and down one from Nancy's.
One day Diane ducks into my cubicle holding a wire coat hanger and a little fake mouse, like one you'd give a cat to play with. She gives me the shush sign and starts unspooling the hangar. Once she had it all straightened out, she punctured the mouse's ass with it and shoved it into the mouse as far as it would go.
I figured out what was going on and volunteered to help. She gladly accepted, saying she would stay in my cubicle and stand on a chair to see over the partitions and watch what happened. So I went out into the hall with the mouse-on-a-stick and got down on my hands and knees. I slid the mouse under the cubicle wall just in front of Nancy's desk, and started slowly moving it back and forth, using it to feel around for her feet.
I tapped against a shoe, and then moved the mouse up and over a little bit, so it was right on top of her shoe. I heard Nancy's chair move, and Nancy saying, "What the heck..."

Suddenly, a blood curdling scream came from the other side of the partition, and I heard the chair slam against the opposite wall and some stuff crashing to the floor. And as the screams kept coming, I heard Nancy's feet pounding the floor and she emerged from the cubicle.
This woman, by the way, was about six feet tall and at least 200 pounds. And, it seems, had a tremendous phobia about mice. About which her "friend" Diane knew.
Nancy had a look of utter terror on her face, which was blotchy red and white, and was still screaming. I was still on my hands and knees in the hall, completely blocking the only route between her and the exit. She didn't stop to say "Excuse me," or "What the hell are you doing on the floor, Jim." She just kicked me in the stomach and stepped on one of my calves as she blasted past me.
So while I was on the floor, writhing and hollering in pain, Nancy was on her way out of the building to the parking lot, where she locked herself in her car.
It took Diane about an hour to get her back inside the building, and then she came right to my cubicle and gave me a half dozen hammer strikes to the head and ears. She has left the company since then, and I've lost contact with her. I guess I'm not on her Christmas card list.
