The 'prank' was a publicity stunt to promote the upcoming film Rings
The video shows the Samara ghost crawling out of TV screens
It has amassed over 3.2 million views and very much counting
The video shows a team first setting up for the prank at the store. They put up hidden cameras and prepare a special compartment for the Samara ghost to climb out of.
Then, one after the other, customers at the store have the bejesus scared out of them. Some scream, some jump up terrified and a few even run away. There were a whole lot of oh-my-gods too. Mischief managed and how.
We really wonder if any of the customers ended up buying a television set after that fright.
"And that's when I knew I was going to shop online forever," said one commenter on the video. "I am amazed nobody punched her," said another. "This is what a prank is. And this is what we need more of," a YouTube user said.
