If you saw a man riding
his bike around the neighborhood, dressed as Michael Myers from "Halloween," towing
a skeleton baby in the back, would you call the police? If it weren’t actually
Oct. 31, I would.
Unfortunately, if you
live in Evan Zimmerman’s town of Decatur, Ind., the police would disregard
your call. You see, police are familiar with Zimmerman's tendency to emulate his
favorite horror character and generally creeping people out around town.
Zimmerman also likes to stand in his neighbor’s windows brandishing a fake knife. HELL to the no.
In this now viral video,
Zimmerman’s wife Sabrina caught him tooling around town on a bike in mid-October and promptly
gave him a verbal dressing down from her car.
“What the hell are you doing? Are
we these people now?" she asks. "Get home or I’m going to have you committed," she scolds,
while one of their three children giggles in the background.
If I were her, I’d
be pissed, too.
Here Zimmerman is trying to spook people while his son is testing
for his yellow belt in karate. "Look out the window!" one of the other moms says.
Thanks, Dad. Not distracting AT ALL.
He’s become something as a local celebrity and even has his
own Facebook page where he makes appearances. As you can see, local radio station
98.9 The Bear welcomed him to their studios to make their employees heart rate (and tendency for foul language) go up:
If you notice from the videos, Zimmerman stares straight
ahead, even when his wife, who is frankly scarier, yells at him.
"Our neighbors
are going to think you’re weird, Evan!" She barks at him to get in the house and
stop. "I can’t!" she says. How could you possibly?
In his spare time, Zimmerman is actually rather handsome and
serves in the U.S. Air Force. He’s been doing the Michael Myers bit since 2012.
He never breaks character, even when one man threatened to shoot him (yikes on bikes). He will
scare children but will not frighten the elderly. What a champ.
If you ask me, Zimmerman's wife needs to prank him back in a major way. I'm sure the whole town is willing to help her.
