A Pennsylvania man attacked and killed his neighbor this week using a knife and a chain saw while wearing a mask and costume like the one from the movie "Scream," officials said.
The man then returned home and watched a movie until police came, according to a criminal complaint from the Pennsylvania State Police.
Police said Zak Moyer, 30, surrendered after the attack and was taken into custody without incident. He has been charged with criminal homicide and is being held at the Carbon County Correctional Facility.
Lehighton Borough police and later state police responded to an active assault incident Monday in Carbon County, in which a man attacked another man using a knife and a chain saw.
Officials found Edward Whitehead Jr., 59, who lived at the home, had been "struck" in the head with the weapons by a man who was "wearing a mask and a black costume-like garment, consistent with the 'Scream' movie character," according to the criminal complaint.
