Man dressed as iconic Halloween villain scares drivers in stopped traffic: video

Arizonans stuck in stopped traffic were recently entertained (and terrified) by a costumed driver who went rogue this weekend.

Driver Ryan Blauvet posted the images to a Facebook group for Prescott residents on Sunday. According to FOX 10 Phoenix, the dash cam video was filmed near black canyon city, which is located about 45 minutes north of downtown Phoenix.

In his social media post, Blauvet said the incident took place on Interstate 17. Drivers were stuck in stopped traffic for hours.

The video shows a man wearing a Michael Myers-like mask holding a knife and crawling along the side of the road.

“He got into character and made the wait more fun,” he added.

Blauvet also shared a video of him punching the man. In his Facebook post, the Arizonan said he didn’t understand the man’s name.
