'Devil Baby' Is Most Horrifying But Best Thing Anderson Cooper Has Ever Had On 'Ridiculist' (VIDEO)

The Most Horrifying But Best Thing Ever

Warning: this is going to haunt you for the rest of your life.

Anderson Cooper showed viewers the "Devil Baby Attack" prank which took place around New York City as part of a viral marketing stunt intended to promote the new film, "Devil's Due." The minds behind the prank built a remote controlled stroller carrying a horrifying, demonic robot baby that jumps up and scares the life out of anyone who comes near it.

"Only in New York," Cooper said of his hometown. "You see an unattended stroller and then get the life scared out of you by a devil baby."

We warned you:

But the best part was probably the guy on the street who literally just stood there and didn't even flinch.

"That is a true New Yorker, people," Cooper said. "Not the slightest reaction. He probably saw scarier things on his commute into work."

Okay, we know we just said the really serious guy was the best part. But obviously Cooper giggling at the end was the absolute best part.

Watch the video to see the hilarious reactions of the many New Yorkers who will probably never sleep soundly again.
