My Neighbor's Effed Up Halloween Display

[Viking Kitten]

We live in your typical, run-of-the-mill Edmond neighborhood. Lots of kids running around, soccer moms, SUVs, etc.

So last night I'm driving through, and I notice a neighbor has decorated his lawn, presumably for Halloween. Now, many of the other neighbors also have displays... pumpkins, scarecrows, that sort of thing. Even a few styrofoam grave markers. But this one guy has put up a three foot crucifix, except in Jesus' place is a big, grinning skeleton.

It just seems a little... odd.

Is a crucified skeleton a common Halloween thing somewhere in the world and I've just missed it, or is this guy a potential serial killer?

I'll go take a pic tonight when he turns the on his purple and yellow shrubbery lights. Wierd, man. Wierd.

[royalfan5]

Crucifixes really don't make me think of Halloween.

[Petro-Sooner]

What a screwy dood.

[M]

He probably really wants all the trick-or-treaters to stay away this year.

[Mjcpr]

I think it sounds nice.

[IB4OU2]

Maybe its a Sparticus display after he's left crucified a few months on the Apian way.

[rufnek05]

set it on fire. it'll be a lower case "t". for time, time to get out.

[VeeJay]

Yeah, I guess that would be sorta like putting a jack-o-lantern on the porch in recognition of Easter.

A jack-o-lantern getting humped by a big pastel bunny maybe?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Maybe the crucifix is just a representation of death to your neighbor?

[Czar Soonerov]

I think their display got picked up by the garbage man today (it's big trash day).

[Czar Soonerov]

WTF is that below my user title?

[StoopTroup]

heh.

go on...

[Viking Kitten]

I was willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt... thinking maybe he had come with some creative and novel way to visually represent Halloween.

Then I just drove back by it and got a better daytime look. The whole thing is splashed with red paint as if to make it look all bloody.

Nope. Sorry dude. It's just creepy. And not "fun fall hijinx chills 'n' thrills" creepy. More like "see if this guy is a registered sex offender" creepy.

[proud gonzo]

weeeeird

[Jimminy Crimson]

More like "see if this guy is a registered sex offender" creepy.

So is he? :confused:

Somebody at work put up Christmas decorations last week. It was still freakin September. Luckily, they only lasted an hour before somebody else took them down.

[C&CDean]

According to a certain anonymous poster on this board whose name I shant divulge (however, his initials are jk) dude has commited a felony. I think. Maybe not until he lights it up. Or maybe a neighbor has to do it for it to be a felony. But I'm pretty sure it's still a certified hate crime any way you slice it. But I could be wrong. Alls I know is crosses in yards with blood and skulls and **** are probably a felonious hate crime deal. Or not. Who the **** knows?

[Frozen Sooner]

Putting a cross with a skeleton on it in your own yard is a hate crime? Against whom?

Dead people. DOH.

[Frozen Sooner]

Ahhh. Good point. In fact, I'm related to a lot of dead people, which makes me at least PART dead.

I'm suing.

IF THE CROSS IS LIT,

YOU CAN'T ACQUIT!!!

[OKC-SLC]

You have a Stonehenge in danger of being crushed by a dwarf

Sorry, not really fitting. But about the closest I'll get to getting to work this into a thread.

[frankensooner]

I thought you would like it. I put a lot of thought into it! Dang, back to the drawing board~

[sooneron]

I have a neighbor that goes all out for Halloween. I'll post some pics this year. They must sink quite a chunk of change into their yard.

[OU4LIFE]

I don't believe a single word in this thread.

not.

one.

[crawfish]

I don't believe a single word in this thread.

not.

Me either.

Not even the ones I just quoted.

[MamaMia]

Growing orange trumpet vines in the city limits should be classified as a hate crime.

Amen to that, girl. :D

[frankensooner]

My neighbor has an insane wisteria vine on their back fence and everytime it get near my yark I hack the offending shoots to bits. Offensive vines are much worse than creepy Halloween decorations.

[soonerbrat]

what's a yark?

[frankensooner]

It is what a dog does when it is sick.

You live next to Dean?

[Viking Kitten]

Creepy neighbor just put up a charming new display this year.

He did NOT re-use the crucified skeletons from last year, this one is not quite as bad as those were.

Not unless a fake Obama is hangin there.

[Rogue]

OK, that little ol' cross is like a grave marker cross.
Obviously, a zombie left his skull on it.
Jheez.

[Viking Kitten]

Heh. When I first saw the display, the face was turned away from me. Since the guy is a McCain supporter, well... let's just say I was relieved to see it was just a skull face.

[SouthFortySooner]

I too feel he was goin for the spooky cemetery look. No Jesus there.

[bluedogok]

You might get one of these (http://www.speakupdesigns.com/buy_halloween/bholddesigns.159301822) for protection.....

Hispanic day of the dead motif?

[8timechamps]

Wait!

What's in the flowerbed behind the hanging pile of clothes? Is that supposed to be a ghost? Dude goes all out to hang a pile of clothes and put a zombie skull on a cross, then goes and puts a posterboard ghost in the flowerbed?!

Hmmm

[StoopTroup]

Someone ought to hang a Dang Tire up on a noose. :D ;)

I used to go all out for the halloweenz, now I just put a dozen pumpkins around. Too many thieving little miscreants about. We still put out an impressive Christmas display, but I have it all attached to the ground securely to prevent theft. It always happens the first night school lets out for Christmas break, little jerks.
