Louisiana police have apologized for using the eerie siren made popular by horror film The Purge to signal a 9 p.m. coronavirus curfew.
The scary sound in the movie symbolizes the beginning of a government-sanctioned block of time when crime, including murder, is legal.
A Louisiana police car left onlookers uneasy after they saw one rolling by and heard the chilling sound emanating from the vehicle.
Residents of Acadia Parish are currently under a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, during which citizens aren’t allowed to leave their homes.
