The video was so successful that Hex’s character now has a side career of pranking people in real life. In Hex’s latest, Owlman is lying in wait inside an old church.

No party, just Owlman. “This was our most ambitious, and outrageous prank yet, and so far the response has been fantastic,” says Hex
