Produced for the show’s “Câmeras Escondidas” (Hidden Cameras segment, the prank became a global viral sensation for its elaborate production and the extreme reactions of its unsuspecting victims. The legendary host Silvio Santos, a titan of Brazilian media, was known for these high-concept, often terrifying pranks that pushed the boundaries of traditional “Candid Camera” humor. The prank’s effectiveness lies in its psychological pacing. It begins with a passenger entering an elevator that seemingly malfunctions between floors. The lights flicker and eventually cut out completely, leaving the victim in darkness. During this blackout, a hidden panel in the elevator wall allows a young actress-the “Ghost Girl” (played by Anna Livya Padilha)-to slip into the car. Dressed in a tattered white nightgown, clutching a doll, and wearing haunting “undead” makeup, she is suddenly revealed when the lights flash back on, standing inches away from the terrified passenger. As the video shows, the victims’ responses are visceral and immediate, ranging from frantic screaming to desperate attempts to pry the elevator doors open. The prank culminates in the girl letting out a blood-curdling scream or chasing the victims as they flee the elevator once the doors finally open. While the segment was a massive ratings success for the SBT network, it also sparked worldwide debate over the ethics of such intense scares, with many questioning whether the “fight or flight” response triggered in the victims was too dangerous for entertainment. #instagram #viral #instagood #reels #memes
