April Fools Day: Pranks Gone Wrong
April Fool’s Day is supposed to be harmless fun. History says otherwise. This week, Scared All The Time explores pranks gone wrong and the long, bizarre trail of panic, humiliation, violence, and death they’ve left behind. From the Hammersmith Ghost murder and War of the Worlds hysteria to viral media hoaxes, YouTube prank idiots, and the Boston Aqua Teen bomb scare, Chris and Ed unpack what happens when “it’s just a joke” goes way too far.

Scared All The Time

Hosted by Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Cullari (Blumhouse, The Aviary), SATT digs deep into the scary, the strange, and the unexplained with humor, heart, and an unhealthy amount of research.
