Reminds me of a personal experience I had, except my wife was the silent menacing presence. I work nights and sleep days generally hitting the bed around 9 a.m. It was close to halloween and one of my wife's employee's had brought a rubber mask with a haggered demon face on it to work. Well she thought it would be cool to make a quick trip home to give me a scare. As I was almost sound asleep in my bed I thought I would give a glance at the clock one last time. Low and behold there's this face that's popped up next to my bed, as I could not see the body, just the head. I think my heart jumped into my throat. I responded before I could think, almost reflex like and I punched the mask as hard as I could in the face. As the mask and now this body fell back and slammed into the wall I could here this wimper "it's me, it's me" as my wife slowly pulled off the mask. lol. She won't ever do that again. I felt bad but sheesh, It scared the living piss outa me.
