PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Being stuck in traffic isn't fun for anyone. Being stuck in traffic for hours is downright torture.
But a surprise guest arrived for a few drivers stuck on the I-17 Sunday afternoon near Prescott, Arizona to help kill any boredom drivers may endure.
Facebook user Ryan Blauvelt posted a photo and video of what appears to be someone dressed as the horror movie icon Michael Myers entertaining drivers stuck in the freeway backup.
According to the post, Blauvelt started blaring the "Halloween" theme song for the person and the individual ended up entertaining the people in the cars.
"I saw Michael Myers running around and decided to blast the Halloween theme song," Blauvelt posted. "He fell into character and made the wait more fun."
Several people commented on the post in the Prescott, Arizona Facebook group and said how much they enjoyed the idea.
"The world needs more of this kind of light-hearted fun right now," Amanda Asselin wrote. "Thanks for sharing."
