Maybe he should try shaking hands instead of moaning and chasing people.

YouTuber Ed Bassmaster is a pretty well known prankster, but there is no way anyone can recognize him with the long wig and contacts.

And if that wasn’t enough, the vampire fangs are pretty creepy.

Take a look as Bassmaster walks around New York City and scares the absolute wits out of a few people as he begs for blood. The shock on a few of their faces are priceless and it’s a blast to watch others run away.

Full disclosure: This was funny to laugh at. If he ever did this to me, I would be running as well.
