A Brazilian man's misguided homage to his favorite horror film landed him in trouble with the law after he frightened his community by dressing up as the movie's nightmarish villain. According to a local media report, the strange case began late last month with the emergence of videos showing an individual roaming the streets of Xexéu wearing a long black coat, a wide-brimmed hat, monstrous-looking clawed gloves, and an unsettling mask. The footage soon spread like wildfire on social media, with many frightened residents suggesting that the ominous figure was a werewolf or some other supernatural being. As fears surrounding the situation grew, police were understandably keen to identify the worrisome stranger seen wandering around Xexéu.
