In Serock, an unknown person in a cape and the famous mask from the film „Scream” approaches homes after dark and looks through residents’ windows in Legionowo County. Police ask for vigilance and information.
Night scenes straight out of a horror film
In recent days, Serock has unsettled residents of single-family housing estates. At night, a masked figure in a black cape roams the streets. Its white mask resembles the costume from the cult horror film „Scream”. According to residents, the intruder looks into windows, sometimes shining a flashlight.
Surveillance footage reveals strange visits
Footage from private cameras quickly spread across local social media. The incident was documented, among other places, on Pałacowa Street in Stare Lesie.

Fear of the nighttime „hero” – real or exaggerated?
For some, it is an unusual prank. For others, it is a reason to worry about their own safety. The horror costume stirs the imagination: the analogy to the film’s fear motif vividly shows how some Halloween jokes can provoke strong emotions.
Is it just a Halloween joke?
The matter is complicated by the fact that the incidents coincided with preparations for Halloween. Some local commentators see the event as a harmless prank linked to the holiday of ghosts, while others see a threat to privacy and safety.
