As the title states, the video shows a tutorial that explains how to scare somebody in five steps.

Step 1: "Place a fake critter in their bed"; a man sets up a fake spider at a woman who sleeping in a bed. After a few seconds pass, the woman gets scared after seeing the fake spider.
Step 2: "Appear in a bathroom mirror"; a masked man goes to the bathroom to scare a woman.
Step 3: "Imitate a confined space"; a man puts a cardboard box over the head of another man, who is sleeping on the sofa.
Step 4: "Hide your hand." A man is setting up a prank by cutting a hole into a candy bag. After that, the girls appear and one of the girls, while the man is holding the bag, inserts her hand into the bag.
Step 5: which contains a screamer: "Use the computer." A man watches K-fee commercials (which only shows the first few seconds) with a notebook; then, a zoomed-in picture of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist appears with a short scream.
