The masterpiece features a man killed by a chainsaw and a 'body bag'.

The gruesome display has prompted multiple visits by police following complaints from locals, although the officers reportedly described the scene as 'cool'.

1. Halloween is my favorite holiday, but that shit's just not funny.

[Demovictory9]

2. a bit over the top

[yonder]

3. Enthusiastic much?

[TheBlackAdder]

33. Trying for a job in the movie industry?

[KarinaS]

4. Wow gross

[Moostache]

5. 1987 Summer School

Mark Harmon and Kirstie Alley Rom-Com
2 students do that kind of stuff throughout as a sightgag...

[Hekate]

6. Really not funny. The kind of sight that could traumatize children & trigger adults...

One of our neighbors used to do a super haunted house every Halloween, and parents would bring their kids from miles around for the thrills and chills.

I’m telling you, though, if he had ever done a murder scene like that, he would not have had any friends left.

7. Thats one way to keep all your candy nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Whoa!

When I was a teenager, I set up a "ghost" on a pulley system that moved down the hallway to the front door of my parents' house. The head had a big smiling face and the body was a large pillow case full of candy to hand out to Trick-or-Treaters.

Even that made some of the younger kids scream and run away! I usually caught up with their parents, apologized and handed them some candy. They seemed surprised by the reactions too. Lol.

The "scary" sounds playing from this record probably didn't help.

[callous taoboy]

9. Is his name Dexter?

JFC, that's pretty over the top.

[Sherman A1]

10. What a horse's behind

There is nothing but sicko in that display. This person needs serious help.

[Fyrefox]

11. Much grossness...

There's a distinction between scary and gross-out, and this display clearly crosses the line. True horror is a sublime emotion that operates more on a psychological than a visceral level, and it doesn't manifest through sheer quantities of blood...

[Ilsa]

12. It's the kind of thing making me wish

the FBI would do a deep background check on the homeowner.

What little kid would want to ask for candy at this house? (Maybe the display is to keep kids away.

This is nightmare material, even for me.

[cwydro]

29. I agree.

It’s sickening.

[BlueStater]

13. Gross.

I think this guy lost sight of what Halloween is supposed to about. If he’s a fan of slasher movies, he could have just had displays of Jason, Freddy, etc. instead of this Jeffrey Dahmer-esque bullshit.

[RussBLib]

14. What? No Biden dummy ripped apart?

Cops would probably be fine with that too.

[Happy Hoosier]

15. Some people really like the gore/serial killer theme....

Not me. I'm more into the spooky vibe.

My display is kinda Disney haunted mansion-themed.

[FoxNewsSucks]

39. That's hilarious

Figures some uptight karen would complain

[Luciferous]

17. He's probably going to traumatize some kids with that display 😠

I love Halloween but that is just too much.

[Tracer]

18. Last year, in my town, there were many complaints to the police...

... over a realistic-looking dummy hanging from a tree by his neck. Great for the kiddos, yes?

I thought that it was wildly inappropriate, but this guy with his blood and guts display is disgusting.

[Renew Deal]

19. Festive

[Hugin]

20. ...

The safe on the head in the first picture is amazing.

[Renew Deal]

34. It is well done.

It's a bit much but he gets an A for effort.

[Hugin]

35. He possibly has a future in entertainment.

However, if the display had any PDA in it the screeching would be unbearable.

[eShirl]

21. gore and splatter. ho hum.

[blugbox]

22. I count the word "masterpiece" no less than seven times

I know a lot of it is redundant, but damn, someone sounds like a fan.

And I agree, for being in public view, it's a wee bit over the top.

[Yeehah]

23. WTF

You gotta be kinda stupid to set that up for public consumption. Maybe for a commercial house of horrors but not just in your front yard.

[vercetti2021]

24. Awesome!

I love it!

[JI7]

25. Doesn't make me think of Halloween at all

[Drunken Irishman]

26. I love it. I bet they had a blast doing this.

[vercetti2021]

32. Least someone else here likes it

This is shades of Jason Voorhees going a spree.

[MissMillie]

27. If a trick-or-treater slips on that fake blood

he's going to have a law suit on his hands.

It's a bit much, but I don't know that it breaks any laws.

[cwydro]

28. That's just gross.

I like Halloween displays to be All ghost ins and ghoulies, witches and skeletons.

And of course jack o lanterns.

[Zeus69]

30. Haha sweet

[MrScorpio]

31. This is pure genius

This is pure art. I’m very impressed

[Catherine Vincent]

36. That's definitely going too far

He's been watching too many horror movies...something is not right upstairs.

[PatSeg]

37. Oh yuck

Very creative, but extremely disturbing. Imagine how children must react when they see that. So offensive.

[BusyBeingBest]

38. Pretty realistic--he's got some talent.

The wheelbarrow of body parts is kind of crossing the line.
