ATLANTA, GA- The latest installment of the "Scream" franchise may have taken place in the Big Apple. But the legendary killer Ghostface made an appearance in the Peach State on Halloween and scared up some big traffic problems for commuters heading into Atlanta just in time for the evening rush hour.
Motorist traveling south on the Downtown Connecter Interstate 75/85 caught a bit more than they bargained for on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 as they approached the area of Williams Street near the Spring Street exit ramp.
A man dressed in a full Ghostface outfit was standing on top of a Black BMW sedan with a knife in his hand and dancing. The individual also held up a sign that encouraged passing motorists to follow them on social media. Ghostface had his sedan parked in an area off the roadway between the Interstate travel lanes and the onramp to greet motorists in a chilling way.
The individual stayed on top of the vehicle for some time before reports indicate that Atlanta Police showed up and asked him to move along.
The creative Halloween display was cited for causing extra backups on the connector for motorists that stretched beyond the area where Interstate 75 and Interstate 85 merge near Atlantic Station.
