A CHILLING photo from Google maps appears to show Mexican cartel members wearing creepy Halloween masks, according to online sleuths.

A Reddit user spotted a group of four masked men standing in the middle of the road in Moctezuma, Nacozari De Garcia, Mexico.

A man who appears to wear a Scream mask stands next to another one who has a Mexican wrestling mask on, on the side of the road.

A third person dressed as a werewolf stands in the middle of the road alongside someone wearing a balaclava and a hat.

The Reddit user shared the picture in the subreddit r/GoogleMaps with the caption "I just found the masked guys in Mexico."

But Google maps fans are determined that the four masked figures are actually gang members waiting for a ride.

One commented: "That’s the cartel. You wanna stay far far away from those masks."
