This Halloween, we're introducing the First Annual Halloween Prank Bracket Challenge. It's just like "March Madness," only it's "October Obesity," mainly because of the massive quantities of candy we buy and eat ourselves, then shut the lights off when the little buggers come to our house.

ZUG editors have pared down the enormous pile of mostly crappy Halloween videos (trust us: if a YouTube video has the words "ultimate," "epic," or "scariest," it is none of those things) to bring you our Crazy Eight finalists for the best Halloween pranks. If there are any whining complaints about our top eight, you will be asked to create one better and submit it to ZUG.

The contest is easy: just watch the videos below. If you like a video, vote it up. The four head-to-head winners (in terms of total ZUGZ) will be back next week, and we will vote for our favorite two. The top two will then square of in a no holds barred vote-off for the best Halloween Prank of All Time.





Scroll down for our contestants.

"Don't Ever Scare Black People"
With untold millions of views, it's a perennial favorite, and a great example of the "pranks gone wrong" genre.

"Witch in the Forest"
From the show "Just For Laughs," here's an over-the-top character with no ringers.

Trick Or Treat With Timmy
Here's a long-form, scary/funny, very uncomfortable video that's fairly new to the scene. Is he real, or isn't he?

Halloween Prank Gone Wrong
Security guards try to scare a co-worker -- let's hope they're better guards than they are pranksters.

Brazilian Motorcycle Skeleton Prank
The complete insanity of the Brazilian maniac behind this prank makes it a hit.

Love the autopsy.

When my brother was in medical school he had this recurring nightmare he was going to have to dissect our grandmother. I don't know about you, but I'd rather cut up a naked fat dude.

I wasn't so sure if that video belongs in funny, or unbelievably creepy. I wonder how many of those people got therapy?

The dummy skeleton is going to make his rounds in my neighborhood this year. That was the best prank I have seen in along time!
