A TikTok trend, the “door-kicking challenge” is back, and it recently scared the bejeezus out of some Deltona residents.
As reported by Fox 35, several households in Deltona were left panic-stricken in the late-night hours on Tuesday when a group of teens kicked their door repeatedly before disappearing into the night.
Ring camera footage (which to be fair, does look unnerving) captured a masked teen kicking the doors while another recorded.
“Until I saw the video, I didn’t even realize that it seemed to be some youths playing what appeared to be a very evil prank,” said impacted homeowner Jeffrey Gibson.
The New York Post, as they do, helpfully filled in the more salacious backstory. The door-kicking challenge started up on TikTok in 2021, with participants filmed kicking random doors to the beat of the song “Die Young” by Kesha before running off.
“My wife was having a panic attack at the time because she was just so absolutely distraught,” said Gibson.
Risky prank in stand-your-groundville.
