The well-loved tradition of making Bass seasonally terrify Turchin in the weirdest and wackiest ways is what everyone sets their Halloween calendar for. Bass himself goes on to call the intro “horrible” and from then on, the season of torment begins. The post had reignited the excitement of the followers, who are expectant in anticipation of the new event and cherish it all the while.
One user summed up the mood by writing, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 😬 sorry Michael.” The analogy with a holiday speaks volumes about how deeply the ‘LanceScares’ series has ingrained itself in their social calendar. Another replied, jokingly siding with the prankster as a matter of conscience, “My favorite time of year, sorry @michaelturchinart 😂.”
Another user chimed in, describing how precious the couple’s bond is: “He’s adorable when he’s scared 😂.” It’s all so much fun for them, with poor Turchin’s reactions acting as the icing on the cake. Another fan was watching the scene unfold and wanted to congratulate the couple on being, “You both are sooooo cute!”
Every Brain is actively thinking ahead, waiting with bated breath to see what surprises Bass will put in store. “Lance, what are you planning to dress up as for Halloween, or should we just wait and see? 😼😼🧡,” one fan asked, manifesting the eagerness of the whole audience to engage in the spectacle as it unfolds. “Let the torment begin!!!! 😂” another joined in, giving an official thumbs up to the riotous fun.
However, the comments delved far beyond that into what make the whole tradition so important. “No one beats Lance’s revenge lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,” another user claimed, insinuating Mr. Bass’s funny knack for deterrence. Another showered praise on Turchin: “Michael is my favorite member of NSYNC at this point. Why is he so likable and adorable?! No shade Lance, you caught the perfect one.” The comment jokingly elevates Turchin’s standing within the fandom solely because of his willingness to be a good sport about these pranks.
The longevity and success of ‘LanceScares’ is proof positive of how a celebrity can cleverly and personally engage their audience. It is not necessarily about big production; rather it is a little recurring slice of relatable domestic humor. One fan had summarized the event by dubbing it, “Michael’s month of terror 🙈🙈,” an expression that will bring a grin to the faces of all who keep track of this couple come October.
