16 Times People Overdid Halloween Decorations And Got The Cops Called On Them
The Halloween tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people used to light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. So I guess nothing says 'Happy Halloween!' like something that scares you to death and makes you forget the world is celebrating in the first place.
Bored Panda decided to pay tribute to those who go above and beyond to create the right atmosphere for this spooky occasion. Whether it's an extremely gory massacre scene or a subtle, half-buried body bag, these Halloween displays were so next-level, some people thought there actually was something wrong and called the police to investigate. Continue scrolling and enjoy!

When You Go "Too Far" With The Halloween Decorations
Texas resident Steven Novak is one of the people who went all out for Halloween this year. In his yard, one dummy lies with his head pulverized, one lies with a scale where his or her head used to be, and a few more lie in bloodied trash bags fallen off a wheelbarrow. All the while, in the window of the house, a zombie horde attempts to break out.
"I'm most proud of the wheelbarrow tipped over by the street full of Hefty bags, looking like a failed attempt to dispose of the dismembered bodies in the middle of the night," Novak told Dallas Observer. "A kid walked by and asked me what happened to them; I said they ate too many Skittles."

Life-Size Michael Myers House
Novak's decorations have brought the police to his house multiple times. "Neighbors told me cop cars were in front of my house a lot during the day," he explained. "I was only home twice to receive them. They told met hey thought it was cool and that they were only there because they were required to reply to complaints from the sergeant."
"They were in formation at the door and when I opened it they asked me if it was all mine. I asked, 'You mean the blood and the bodies? Yeah, that’s me.'"
"Honestly, though, I think I could’ve used more. [My plans] were way worse on paper. Next year though!"

Yeah it's cool and it surely took a lot of dedication. Still there are also kids living in everyone's neighborhood. I know kids who were scared as hell when I opened the door last year wearing a clearly fake knife going "through" my head. You always got to think of what it could do to others.

It’s not epic, I’m serious. Think about kids in the neighborhood who would see blood everywhere. Think of the trauma it would cause. I wish I got here before you got 127 upvotes from other people who don’t understand this either. My friend’s neighbor pulled something like this. It’s been almost 10 years since and she still hates Halloween.

Kids shouldn't be out alone anyway, so if there's an adult with them, they'd make sure to show them that it's not real. A little bit of parental responsibility is not too much to ask. And yes, it's disgusting, but in comparison to scary killer-clowns, I think this would probably be less traumatizing to a lot of kids just because it's so obviously overdone.
onivdsrapowijap 3 years ago
What do you mean by "kids"? If you mean people under 8 years old or so, then maybe you could say they can't be out alone. However, if you are including people age 8 and older, you are obviously overprotective. Parents who think they are keeping their child "safe" are actually just restraining their childrens' rights to explore and learn on their own.

Not necessarily. It’s well over the top, and too much, but that doesn’t necessarily say anything about the people living there (other than they find horror funny). “Horror fans” aren’t necessarily “angry” people. They might just not be good at sensitivity. That’s a problem throughout human civilization, especially where people are pressured into needing to act invulnerable... like on the Internet.

I will admit it's looks cool, but it's WAY too graphic for kids. You have to use discretion with stuff like this.
Jace 4 years ago
People who act like nothing is too much for a joke, and who don’t think anyone should ever be sensitive. It doesn’t mean they’re necessarily bad people. They’ve probably spent a lot of their lives being bullied into being desensitized, or have hardened into “invulnerability”. Comedians often have this issue (comedy being a defense mechanism, and they sometimes lose grip on the scope of what is and is not funny).

The cultural fascination with zombies itself isn’t without concerns, for me. “The Walking Dead” is basically unnecessary trauma/conflict porn, with fantasy monsters on the side. But the obsession with zombies in general kinda seems like people want an excuse to slaughter human beings. So they dehumanize them into walking corpses. Then there’s the antisocial fantasies of civilization falling apart and people just “doing whatever they want”. Survivalists love that s**t and survivalists are f*****g creepy people looking for an excuse for their gun collection and hard-ass antisocial behavior to be “justified”.

Hi Jace, thank you for your great comments on this stuff and, I agree with everything you said but I do not in any way believe this person is not a Psychopath! How could anyone come up with this stuff and not be very mentally sick? Look through all the mega years of thousands of insane men and women who seemed on the surface to be a “good person “ and turned out to be a killer, also, being a sociopath there are just too many to count and, have you had anyone in your family realm that is bi-polar ? I have 4 half sisters that are way crazy without their meds who, are very dangerous people that I stay completely away from now. Thank you again!

It’s definitely too much. There’s a line, but most people fail to agree on where to draw it. The fact that torture porn, gore porn, and murder porn are common forms of “entertainment” in our society says that many people take it very far. Too far, I think. I also think we manufacture this kind of personality by pushing people to become desensitized and “invulnerable” with our toxic culture of bullying and pressure to perform beyond human tolerances.

He might be one of those “nothing is too far or too much for a joke” kind of people, but that’s absolutely no reason to presume he’s a psychopath.

Yes! Was just about to comment something like this. I think this is so obviously over-the-top that it would be easy to make children understand that it's not real. Kids aren't idiots, people!

Marlowe, you might be right about that but the thing is that LITTLE kids don’t understand. My god, they’re scared of a mall santa.

Jace 4 years ago
Americans are especially weird, comparing to other first-world nations. That’s me speaking as an American. The gun issue is particularly f****d up, but our laissez-faire capitalism is probably worse, and it’s actually what drives the strongest push of pro-gun propaganda. There seems to be a collective craving for excuses to kill other humans, and that comes out in our country’s fiction trends as much as in our gun culture. Then there’s the f****d-up Christian anti-sex bullshit that oppresses and bullies the most basic & fundamental human impulse (one which is a great stress-reliever)...

"Insensitive" actions are technically a matter of perspective. Is it not also insensitive to persecute another person or group's form of creative expression or celebration just because it does not mirror that which is your own? Or that which "society" deems fitting of a mold? We all have our own unique sets of emotional triggers and beliefs; truth be told, it is nearly impossible to find a means of self expression which will not offend one other single person. What makes one perspective more valuable than another? Societal norms? Why should it be so acceptable that only one portion of society is allowed to have their perspective affirmed while others must simply fall in line? I personally enjoy the display's depth of detail and creativity. But because people with kids or emotional triggers are socially "more important," my perspective becomes irrelevant. Likewise, my enjoyment of activities may be ruined by noisy or disruptive kids but I have to keep my mouth shut.

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France. They celebrated their new year on November 1.
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead got blurred.
In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Celtic priests to predict the future. Considering the Celts were entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies must've been really comforting in the face of a long, dark winter.

Woke Up This Morning To 6 Cops, A Fire Truck, And An Ambulance At My Door Because A Passing Car Was Concerned About The One Halloween Decoration I Neglected To Take Down
To commemorate the event, the priests built huge sacred bonfires, where everyone would gather to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically made of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes.
Who knows, Maybe Novak has some Celtic blood? Either way, his display sure looks like a modern version of the old celebration.

Yes and no, why are we not having conversations with our children? Explaining that some things are fake. And if they're too young to understand that conversation, walk the other way and don't take them by the house. It's pretty simple actually. I had a neighbor that would go all out to include taking a chain off a chainsaw and chasing the older kids, I didn't take my kids to that house until I knew they were ready. And if the off chance one of these houses are your next door neighbor, maybe a conversation with them as well? It's not that hard.

Pagan characters? What pagan characters? Do you consider Harry Potter or Cinderella "pagan characters"? The children are usually accompanied by their parents, since they're walking around outside after dark, and the parents don't allow them to damage the neighbors' houses. The "trick" part of "trick or treat" was brought over from England with the settlers. And back in the day, grown-ups went out and tipped over people's outhouses for the "trick."

For the same reason you can't urinate in the street, or walk around the neighbourhood naked. Because you live in a community and members of a community have a responsibility to uphold community values and not outrage public decency. What you do inside your own house is up to you but when it's visible to others it's a public display as it affects other people. I don't know about the US but there are public decency laws in the UK and I'm fairly certain most of these displays would be considered illegal.

No, first of all, it was a pagan holiday called Samhain and Christians decided to twist it so they could have more control. Most people don't even know what the true meaning of Halloween is, either that or they think it's a myth. And second of all, people will have their own decorations and you have no right to judge them for it. They are also not trying to have a contest, the whole point of decorations in the first place is to be SCARY. Not accommodate to the people who are too scared or sensitive.

You are wrong. The whole point of decorations on the outside of your house is to provide entertainment for the neighborhood. If you want to practice your "right" to have your own decorations, you should do it inside. Outdoor decorations aren't meant to deliver as much gore as possible. You can't get away with calling anyone who still has a sense of proportion "too scared or sensitive." What kind of things do you watch on a regular basis, if you are inured to this kind of display?

She won't even go.up to the decorated houses during trick or treat anymore because of all the assholes who think it's funny to make things pop out at kids. It seems Halloween is becoming less about kids getting a chance to enjoy their childhood and more about dreadful adults who insist making it all about them. I'm tired of it. So are my kids.

Imo the hanging ones were not ok period. The others I think were fine, depending on your point of view. Yes, excessive gore is not kid-friendly, but then again it depends on what actually happens for that particular street. Like one example would be I know people who live places that get literally 0 kids every year because they’re out of the way. If those people have halloween parties with their adult friends, and that’s what theyre decorating for, then I say it’s a cool idea that works.
Khadeja 4 years ago (edited)
People talking about how we should 'tell our kids not to be scared of this,'.. have you ever spoken to a child?? Second of all, I'm not a young child and this is still too much in my opinion. There's a line between loving halloween and traumatizing people, whether children or adults. This is just gore for the sake of gore. And so many hangings! The number of people who have lost family members and friends to suicide makes me feel sick, and the lynching refrences are disgusting. Third, the 'well it's MY house' argument doesn't work. You shouldn't be allowed to do this for the same reason your not allowed to have sex in front of your house, as a community you have to uphold the virtues of that community. Some, like the fire and the Micheal Myers house, were cool and very creative! Those were in good taste! Others, sadly, were not.

I actually wish more of us celebrated Halloween in the way it was intended - to remember our ancestors and lost loved ones. I think going to a graveyard to put flowers and candles on the graves and to raise a glass a lovely way to celebrate. I don't have creepy decorations, I just put out photos of grandparents, brother, friends who have passed on, even the pets I've had over the years, I light candles and put lovely autumnal decorations around the pictures and I spend the time to remember them. Historically an extra place for ancestors would be laid at a table on this day too. You can still party and enjoy yourselves, but in celebration of real people and love and not horror films and psychopathy.

But when there are kids around, putting the realistic murder-themed stuff in the front yard is in poor taste at best.

As a teacher you should know that desensitizing people (of any age but ESPECIALLY children and teenagers) to bloody crime scenes and hanging bodies, etc, is bad for them mentally, psychologically, and emotionally. It is also bad for them in the future if they ended up thinking, ‘this is normal’, because there is nothing normal about such things. As for the candy part you mentioned, this response proves your students’ understandable but problematic immaturity. Even a teenager who willingly chose to watch csi and other shows would be rightfully not ready mentally and psychologically if said teenager saw such scenes in real life, especially unexpectedly (like going into their friend’s neighborhood and witnessing such scenes).

I had a neighbor that would go all out to include taking a chain off a chainsaw and chasing the older kids, I didn't take my kids to that house until I knew they were ready.

"Kicks" are meant to be enjoyed in private, not put out for the whole neighbourhood to have to see. Halloween is not about torture porn, and it never was. People know what Halloween is about, and this is not it.

I was under the impression that Halloween was meant to be funny and a bit creepy for the children. It seems like somehow it's turned into a "Who can come up with the most gory and shocking decorations" contest.

No, first of all, it was a pagan holiday called Samhain and Christians decided to twist it so they could have more control. Most people don't even know what the true meaning of Halloween is, either that or they think it's a myth. And second of all, people will have their own decorations and you have no right to judge them for it. They are also not trying to have a contest, the whole point of decorations in the first place is to be SCARY. Not accommodate to the people who are too scared or sensitive.

You are wrong. The whole point of decorations on the outside of your house is to provide entertainment for the neighborhood. If you want to practice your "right" to have your own decorations, you should do it inside. Outdoor decorations aren't meant to deliver as much gore as possible. You can't get away with calling anyone who still has a sense of proportion "too scared or sensitive." What kind of things do you watch on a regular basis, if you are inured to this kind of display?

no, decorations are to show other people what you are interested in, that’s like saying you should wear clothes based on other people’s opinions

This is getting dumb. Fun and creative is fine, but gore for the sake of gore I can't support. My 5 yo daughter for the past two Halloweens tells me how much she hates it because all the over the top decorations scare her. She won't even go.up to the decorated houses during trick or treat anymore because of all the assholes who think it's funny to make things pop out at kids. It seems Halloween is becoming less about kids getting a chance to enjoy their childhood and more about dreadful adults who insist making it all about them. I'm tired of it. So are my kids.

I'm surprised that Bored Panda pandered to these sick scenes. Isn't there enough violence these days without glorifying it? Plus, it wasted police and firefighters' time responding to these scenes.

Its good for the adults but NOT for the kids. If things like this should be displayed then it should be kept for adult private parties only. And to use dummies like kids is totally wrong. What about parents that have just lost a child seeing this.

Imo the hanging ones were not ok period. The others I think were fine, depending on your point of view. Yes, excessive gore is not kid-friendly, but then again it depends on what actually happens for that particular street. Like one example would be I know people who live places that get literally 0 kids every year because they’re out of the way. If those people have halloween parties with their adult friends, and that’s what theyre decorating for, then I say it’s a cool idea that works.
Khadeja 4 years ago (edited)
People talking about how we should 'tell our kids not to be scared of this,'.. have you ever spoken to a child?? Second of all, I'm not a young child and this is still too much in my opinion. There's a line between loving halloween and traumatizing people, whether children or adults. This is just gore for the sake of gore. And so many hangings! The number of people who have lost family members and friends to suicide makes me feel sick, and the lynching refrences are disgusting. Third, the 'well it's MY house' argument doesn't work. You shouldn't be allowed to do this for the same reason your not allowed to have sex in front of your house, as a community you have to uphold the virtues of that community. Some, like the fire and the Micheal Myers house, were cool and very creative! Those were in good taste! Others, sadly, were not.

I actually wish more of us celebrated Halloween in the way it was intended - to remember our ancestors and lost loved ones. I think going to a graveyard to put flowers and candles on the graves and to raise a glass a lovely way to celebrate. I don't have creepy decorations, I just put out photos of grandparents, brother, friends who have passed on, even the pets I've had over the years, I light candles and put lovely autumnal decorations around the pictures and I spend the time to remember them. Historically an extra place for ancestors would be laid at a table on this day too. You can still party and enjoy yourselves, but in celebration of real people and love and not horror films and psychopathy.

I LOVE horror movies. I love scary stuff. I always have and always will. But I'm also a mother and some of these are a little too realistic for my taste. In the back yard or in a neighborhood where you don't have any kids (like a cul de sac where you know your neighbors)? Go for it! Be creepy AF, recreate horror movies. But when there are kids around, putting the realistic murder-themed stuff in the front yard is in poor taste at best. Yes it's your house but there also needs to be compassion/understanding for your neighbors, esp the young ones.

A lot of people are alright with depictions of guillotinings, burnings at the stake, chopping block beheadings, rack stretchings, pendulums, electric chairs, and other means of execution but when it comes to hanging, people get their panties in a bunch and assume it's a lynching.

As a teacher you should know that desensitizing people (of any age but ESPECIALLY children and teenagers) to bloody crime scenes and hanging bodies, etc, is bad for them mentally, psychologically, and emotionally. It is also bad for them in the future if they ended up thinking, ‘this is normal’, because there is nothing normal about such things. As for the candy part you mentioned, this response proves your students’ understandable but problematic immaturity. Even a teenager who willingly chose to watch csi and other shows would be rightfully not ready mentally and psychologically if said teenager saw such scenes in real life, especially unexpectedly (like going into their friend’s neighborhood and witnessing such scenes).
