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.'

Fag. Go full Ash Williams or go home.
Shotguns imo are too heavy and unwieldy for a quick reaction defense weapon. A concealed carry pistol is better imo.
No shame in getting your ass kicked by him no matter how old he is.
