'Stranger Things' star terrorizes everyone in Netflix's 'Prank Encounters' trailer
Watch Next

The first trailer for the upcoming Netflix prank show Prank Encounters makes me feel bad for everyone on this show.

Hosted by Stranger Things star Gatten Matarazzo, Prank Encounters lures people into it clutches by holding fake job interviews and then scaring them with a variety of terrifying scenarios. While Matarazzo is an undoubtedly charming host, this premise seems like a huge bummer from everyone else's perspective.

If you like to see people get genuinely scared, Prank Encounters is probably right up your alley, and you can enjoy it when it hits Netflix Oct. 26.
