A Pennsylvania man has been arrested on a homicide charge after he burst into his neighbour's home and slaughtered him with a chainsaw in a full Scream movie costume, believing the victim had killed women and children a year ago, police say.
Zak Moyer, dressed in an terrifying all-black costume 'consistent with the 'Scream' movie character' Ghostface, allegedly struck his next-door neighbour, elderly man Edward Whitehead Junior, 59, 'multiple times with a knife and a battery-operated chainsaw', state troopers said.
Court documents revealed Moyer, 30, admitted to stabbing Whitehead in the head, before going back to his own home to watch a movie until the police arrived. Police said the pair got into an argument that day.
According to the criminal complaint, Moyer admitted to hiding the chainsaw he used in the attic, and hiding the knife in the drawer.
Police were called to the gruesome scene at 243 Carbon Street in the small town of Lehighton, in the east of Pennsylvania, at around 3:30pm on Monday.
Emergency responders rushed Whitehead to nearby St. Luke's Carbon County Hospital, having suffered cuts on his right arm, on the right side of his head above his eyebrow, wounds on his hands that were 'consistent with defensive wounds,' and 'a large bleeding wound to the right side of the head,' according to the criminal complaint.
After getting a description of the man who attacked Whitehead, they rushed back to Carbon Street, where they surrounded his house.
State Trooper Anthony Petroski said he and other state police officers were able to get Moyer out peacefully, telling local media: 'There was communications going on between him and troopers on-scene, and eventually he did open the door himself and exit on his own will.'

59 is elderly?
That stuff is legal only in Texas.
50 is AARP.
Soon 59 will be old for the fast food eating, no exercise crowd.
“Try that in a small town.”
The crazy is everywhere.
LOL I noticed that a lot lately in the media. People in their 50s and 60s called “elderly” which proves my point that one of the reasons the media is so leftist today is that these media companies keep hiring newly indoctrinated College grads in their early 20s. To them someone in their 50s, 60s is “elderly”.
You’re as young as you feel.
When the state won’t dispense justice, people take it up in their own hands. Welcome to the wild west.
Does “Slaughtered” = “Murdered?”
Search on Copilot: At what age are you considered elderly?
Answer: There is no clear consensus on what age is considered elderly, as it may depend on various factors such as legal, medical, and social criteria. However, a common benchmark is the age of 65 or older, which is used by the United States Social Security Administration and many Western industrialized nations. Some people may distinguish between early elderly (65 to 75 years old) and late elderly (over 75 years old).
Hey...yeah...59 is not elderly...unless they go further and establish that, apart from his chronological age, he was physically feeble and doddering like Brandon.
Life expectancy will drop as the infrastructure crumbles.
Just a neighborly visit and a jaunt back home in Pennsylvania!
Every home should have a readily accessable,loaded 12 gauge pump.

>> When the state won’t dispense justice, people take it up in their own hands.
So you believe that the murderer was administering deserved justice on the 59-year-old victim? I just want to understand your meaning.
>> Every home should have a readily accessable,loaded 12 gauge pump.
... in every room! Plus a spare. And lots of shells. In every room.
It’s really getting dark outside.
Ping...
When there is a break in through the locks, you can put a few rounds down range, justified.
Chainsaws do poorly against OO buck.
No. Not at all. But lynch mobs don’t care about such niceties as evidence. Most likely Scream Man was nuts. But this is what happens when the criminal justice system goes off the rails. Vigilantes and lynchers.
