Zombie Train Prank

There are plenty of zombie pranks online. This one, from the Brazilian TV station SBT, was filmed for the Silvio Santos Show and takes the idea to the subway. Our old write-up called it the most elaborate scare prank we had featured, and none of the others matched it.

A set built like a horror film

The stunt uses detailed make-up, a horde of actors and actresses and clever lighting. The production even got the local transport authority on board so the scene could be filmed. It plays like a real-life horror movie.

Why a train carriage is such a good trap

A subway car is a small, enclosed space with few exits. That is what makes the scare effective, and it is also why this kind of prank needs professional planning, cooperation from the operator and people trained to manage a panic.

Do not try this at home

Staging a scare on public transport without permission can cause panic, injuries and legal trouble. Watch the video, then use the Scary Sounds board for a harmless version with friends.
