Yep.

As an exercise in catharsis I wrote a short found footage film I wanted to make with some friends called How to Prank Your Neighbors! wherein the prank was obviously a fill-in for something way more nefarious.

The setup was something like “say you know your neighbor is a prankster themselves and they were going to take a prank on someone else too far. Is it not your moral obligation to prank them first? Perhaps so badly they cannot do the harmful prank of their own?”

It’d go into how to get around your neighbor’s security system, how to occupy their dog, and get into their house unnoticed so you could then… prank your neighbor.

Friends told me I should pull my punch by the end, so it ended with the protagonist getting pranked by some unseen party who had been observing them because— after all— the protagonist fit their own description of someone who needs to be pranked, but uhh…

…yeah I dunno, I think if you know your neighbor is a Nazi-in-waiting, they don’t deserve to go… unpranked?
