Episode 2, "Hospital Hell!" was filled to the brim with horrors and hilarious screams, and this prank (above) was no exception. 

An avid horror movie fan, Kris is convinced that he doesn’t frighten easily, or even at all. And that’s exactly why his friend Angelique chose him as her target for Scare Tactics

What was originally supposed to be a fun afternoon at the arcade became one of the most terrifying moments of his life.

The two friends were playing the claw machine when Kris got lucky and won a mystery prize. After walking up to the prize counter, they were given their prize: Anne, a creepy doll that leads them on a scavenger hunt. 

Kris is instantly disturbed by the doll, especially after it begins talking and says his name. Nonetheless, when Anne asks to be taken to her birthday party, he walks willingly to the birthday party room. 

Upon entry, the space is filled with a variety of toys and balloons, with one gift box at the center of the room. 

“For my birthday this year, I wish for you... to die,” Anne says as Kris opens the box. Suddenly a full-size clown rushes into the room, charging straight at Kris.

Both Kris and Angelique run out of the room and are chased by the clown into the arcade. At one point, Kris picks up a toy gun used in one of the arcade games as an attempt to protect himself.

As soon as it's revealed that he’s on Scare Tactics, Kris breaks into nervous laughter and even shakes the killer clown’s hand.  

“You literally picked this up and tried to shoot me,” the clown actor joked, holding us the fake blaster. 

Needless to say, Kris is never going to look at a clown or a doll the same way again.

New episodes of Scare Tactics premiere every Friday night at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network and are available to stream on Peacock.
