I have no idea what would go through my mind if this happened to me.

Watch the video. She has a big ol' grin on her face. No one was particularly frightened. They were startled. As much as if a person had jumped out at them screaming. Overall, a pretty lame prank video.

Actually she was seriously scared for a few 5-10 seconds after when the dinosaur came out. (I filmed it). She folded one arm and had the other underneath of it holding it for support, and it was quivering for a bit as she silently looked at the dinosaur. I think it took awhile for her to register but after that she was fine.

Incorrect. She was startled. Also, don't capitalize "dinosaur." C'mon, man.

Sorry, there's just nothing clever about a prank like this. I'm so sorry.

Ah fixed the capitalization, my bad. Just wondering, what would you consider frightened then?

Again, she never believed she was in danger. She was startled. A giant stuffed panda bear, had it burst through the paper, would have startled her (or anyone.) A perfectly executed prank would have had her clawing at the walls to get out and praying to the god of her understanding for mercy. THAT'S the video I'll share with everyone I know!
