DALLAS - When it comes to Halloween, there is always one home in every neighborhood that takes things a little too far. Normally that involves over-the- top decorations that get put up right at the start of fall, or objects featuring loud screams and other spooky noises.
However, one home in Dallas-Fort Worth has made it an annual tradition to take things a step further, and this year is no different as the home has already received multiple police visits due to their gory decorations.
Artist Steven Novak went viral last year after his similar Halloween decorations also caused multiple police visits. He refused to remove the décor each time and he says he's keeping them up this year again.
He stepped things up this year, with a setup that features 55-gallon drums are filled with fake blood and mannequin body parts, a refurbished wood chipper that spits out gallons of fake blood across his yard and an optical illusion at the front door that makes it look like his house was broken into by an axe murderer.
“There are lots of new gimmicks to this year’s caper. The wood chipper blood fountain being the clear centerpiece and easily the most challenging prop. It took me months to find an old wood chipper for sale. The sellers were not pleased with its new purpose,” said Novak.

According to Dallas Observer, Novak has no plans to remove any of the decorations, despite the neighbor complaints and police visits. Hopefully his Christmas decorations aren’t as intense.
