I'm going out on a limb and guessing midget+rat costume.

Scare Tactics used to be one of my favorite tv shows. It's funny as hell watching people get so scared they almost piss their pants. My favorite was the teenagers going on a camping trip in the middle of the desert and the hmoeless guy attacks. That chick was scared out of her mind. She couldn't even speak.

I love(d) that show too. Is it cancelled? Haven't seen a new episode in a loong time. BTW Wasn't that supposed to be Bigfoot?

This was a different episode where four teens go on a camping trip in the desert. But while they are still in the city, they pretend they are gonna pick up this homeless guy wearing a garbage bag that is trying to thumb a ride, but instead, they speed off laughing at the guy, talking about how they've heard he's crazy.

2o miles later, on a dusty, deserted road, they see the same homeless guysitting beside the road, staring them down as they pass. OMG HOWD HE GET THER?

A few miles later, uh oh, the van stalls. The driver gets out to look under the hood, then they hear a violent smashing sound, and the homeless guy closes the hood to reveal himself to the people inside, screaming "you think it's funny?" It was quite dramatic. And probably the best scare ever on the show. When he opened the sliding door right next to the vicitim questioning her, all she could manage was some incoherent mumbling.

Unfortunately, I think the show's canceled now.
