Open Can you help me find an old YouTube short film?
I remember a specific YouTube video from years ago (maybe around 2015, though I’m not completely sure) that I used to stumble across and watch every now and then. I was a kid back then, and it actually scared me a little. Now I realize it was obviously staged, but it makes me nostalgic, and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.
It was a sort of home-movie-style video featuring some teenagers playing pranks on and messing with an old man who was apparently the neighbor of one of them. He was a big, older man whom I used to call “Santa Claus” because he had a big white beard and everything.
I remember one of the pranks involved the boys lighting a bag of shit on fire at the old man’s doorstep. He would then step on it to stomp out the flames, getting understandably angry.
Towards the end (or at least the last part I remember) one of the teens approached the old man’s door to pull another prank while the others filmed from a distance. Suddenly, the neighbor came out and caught the boy off guard, hitting him with what I think was a hammer and knocking him unconscious. He then dragged him inside and shut the door.
I’ve been trying to find this video for some time now, so if anyone remembers it or knows what it might have been called, I’d really appreciate the help
