    Try not to laugh. Be very serious. It will give your guests the feeling that you are haunted or something.

    Announce to your friends that you will tell them a very creepy tale, and then go into a dark room. Don't do the stupid thing with the flashlight; instead make it as dark as you can!

    Have a story made up or in your head, memorized! If you make it up as you go along, you are more likely to laugh. Start with a simple "There was..." or a "Once upon a night..."

    Tell your tale seriously. Do not laugh or anything. If your friend laughs, that means it isn't working, and you are doing something wrong. Do not say BOO or anything in the middle of your story, and keep your voice at the same sound level.

    Silently stand up when you are done telling your story, almost making no noise, and walk silently out of the darkened room.

    Turn off the light where you are, outside the room. If you can, go back in the original room without your guest knowing. Go behind your guest if you can, otherwise just sit next to him/her.

    Make sure your hands feel wet or clammy. Slowly put your hands on your guest shoulders, and then say, "Why did you take my brothers, eeiiiyyyeee?"

    Turn your guest around to see you. Then, after about three seconds, shout BOO! If they are not scared, you did something wrong. Try to laugh minimally if you want to do it again.

    If you want it to be comical, just say, "Seriously, why did you take my brothers, eeiiyyyyeee?" again, but not in a creepy voice.
