Prank videos are nothing new on the internet, but prank videos pulled off to perfection like this? That's rarefied air.

Three brothers -- Cabot, Hudson and Barrett Phillips -- duped their sister, Millicent into thinking there was a zombie apocalypse after she had her wisdom teeth removed.

The hilarious prank was played to absolute perfection with fake radio reports, a frenzied phone call from their mother, collecting gardening equipment for protection and Millicent herself leaving no doubt which family pet should go with them to Mexico (where she's told the family will be safe).

As for why they decided to have some fun with Millicent after her procedure, Cabot said they wanted to go against the grain:

The typical wisdom teeth videos are funny but we wanted to do something a little different, and thought the zombie aspect might be a fun twist. We just didn't anticipate how expressive she would be, and how many one-liners she'd produce -- even when terrified and in a drug-induced state."

A stunt like this is par for the course for the family, too. "She's no pushover and does her fair share of pranking her older brothers so she understood that we couldn't pass up an opportunity like this," Cabot said.
