9 True Halloween Horror Stories _ The Masked Creep in the Crowd Was Holding a Real Weapon

DESCRIPTION:A teenage boy is chased by a mob armed with machetes and baseball bats. A family barricades themselves inside as three masked figures in a Michael Myers costume and demonic nun mask scream threats from outside their home. At a Halloween party, a man dressed as Freddy Krueger pulled out a real gun and opened fire on the crowd.In this episode, we bring you nine true and terrifying Halloween stories where the line between costume and deadly intent vanished. A teenage boy in Sydney was attacked and stabbed by a group of 20 people, one of whom was carrying a machete [citation:2]. A man wearing a Michael Myers mask broke into his ex-girlfriend's home in the middle of the night with a knife, stabbing her new boyfriend as their two children woke up screaming [citation:7]. And in a case that would terrify anyone, a man in a "demonic" Halloween mask played the theme song from the film on his iPod before stabbing his caretaker over 30 times with a kitchen knife [citation:3]. These are the stories of what happens when the mask isn't the only thing that's real—and the person hiding behind it has a weapon that's anything but a prop.
