After years of parents pulling this prank on their kids, you wouldn't think so many would fall for it. But most of them were genuinely upset, throwing tantrums and making exclamations like "You are in big trouble, young lady," through their tears.

But Kimmel promises that as long as there are more kids to fall for it, he plans to keep asking grown-ups to help him put together this Halloween treat.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of ABC and this station.
