If you like watching people being frightened, this is the video for you. A man and his cameraman friend set up shop in an alleyway near Chicago's DePaul University. The guy was dressed up like Slender Man, a creepy faceless man/internet meme...

In the spirit of Halloween, here is a video of a man in zombie make-up driving through various fast-food restaurant drive-thrus and demanding chicken nuggets.

Not content with typical card tricks or a rabbit in a hat, magician Rich Ferguson puts a spooky Halloween spin on his act by literally losing his head in front of freaked-out spectators. How in the world does he do it?
