>character sneaks up to another character and puts their hand on the shoulder

This is the worst, and if you do this, you really deserve to die if the character mistakes you for a monster or killer.

Has there been a horror film about the 'ghost' being the victim of an accidental killing when they tried to spook a friend and the friend killed them?

>camera shot is obviously set to make you think something will appear behind a character
>it quick cuts to something mundane to fake you out
fucking HATE this shit and it's so common that I don't remember the last time the shot actually set the monster behind the character.

in The Strangers a friend of the victims (who is Dennis from Always Sunny) walks into the house while they are being stalked by killers and the victims jump out of the closet and shoot him in the face.

Thanks. I mean there's been a lot of "highschool pranks go wrong" shit, but I didn't know if it was anything specifically about spooking people.

I'd like one about somebody being killed and them then becoming the 'boss' of the original ghosts/demons whatever.
