The Ultimate Funeral Home Prank

Have you every tried the ‘head in a jar’ prank? It’s as nasty as it sounds but would probably work really well in a funeral home.

FromĀ Instructables.com

Using a photo editor, two pictures are blended together to create flat image of a head, which is then laminated and submerged in a jar. When the flattened image in inserted into the curved jar, along with the distortion from the water, gives the illusion of a decapitated head in a jar of preserving fluid.

Here’s what you need to make your own:

  • Photo editing software
  • Large jar
  • food colouring
  • printer + access to lamination service (local print/copy store)

Making your own head in a jar is easy, but requires some photo editing skills. I’ve included a tutorial on how I made mine, and took me about 30 minutes to compose. Personalizing this prank will make it more effective. But, if you’re not a pro with photo editing, you can download my flattened head image below.
