No no ran ... that's not how you do it. First you put a candy bowl about 15 feet from the door. Open the door while hiding with a decapitated head. Then wait for the kids to come in. When they reach the proximity of the bowl throw the decapitated head...and start screaming while branishing your Machette. They will instantly drop everything run around in circles while screaming "MOMMY" or some times "DADDY!!" It varies.
