It's going to be awhile before the Walking Dead series comes back, so in the meantime, people are filling that gap with [zombie prank jokes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-trick-treat-pouches).

The 'Drive Thru Zombie Headless Prank' is ftom [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tomato-blood-ketchup-1) channel Magic Of Rahat. In the video, a guy dressed as a zombie is biting off the decapitated head of the driver. In the video, it clearly showcases how the people being pranked were more scared of the headless guy rather than the zombie. The duo pranksters go through several [drive-thrus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boojangles) to scare unsuspecting workers. The results come in a mixed bag; some of the people in the video find it funny and scary, while others are just completely dismissive.
