This creepy video really pushes the limits of “pranking”.

The heart-stopping stunt by DmPranksProduction attempted to convince the residents of Magione, Italy that the zombie apocalypse was under way. Zombies in ripped clothes covered in fake blood chase people with burning torches, jump on their cars, and generally frighten people.

The “pranksters” also created a massive explosion, made a fake car accident, and set off air raid sirens to make the stunt even more convincing.
