Halloween Decorations That Warrant a Police Response
Halloween in some neighborhoods isn’t about candy or costumes. It’s a full-blown audition for the local police department. Gravestones that look suspiciously real and animatronics that scream like someone is being tortured push the boundaries of festive fun. This is absurdity in plain sight.
Walk down the wrong street and you might find mannequins hanging from trees, giant spiders with glowing red eyes, or a makeshift crime scene that makes you double-check if 911 is already dialed. Some homeowners clearly misunderstand scary as call the authorities immediately.
These are not your grandma’s paper ghosts or plastic pumpkins. Every yard has the potential to make neighbors question sanity, legality, and life choices.
