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!

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."

    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!"

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.

    Was thinking that, too. Having barely escaped a house fire myself, I don't find it "funny" to create these types of pranks that involve calling 911 and wasting resources and other people's money who pay for them or upsetting people who think others are dying or dead or worse. There's "funny creative" and "not funny to those who had loved ones die in car accidents, fires, murder, etc." People go into shock seeing stuff like this. Surely there's more "funny creative" or let people know it's a prank?

    I didn't know you could get police tape like that, just 'warning tape' or similar.

    Pretty sure there would be some law against using crime scene tape.

    Two feet, and the ankles are (seemingly) stronger then the neck, the torso would’ve been the best option, but legs were a pretty good option

    food for thought...i"m married to a woman who's first husband hung himself. she has PTSD now because of it. her children are affected by it. i understand it is all in fun, but you really can hurt people with this. walk in their shoes. what if it was your child, parent, friend or spouse. please reflect on my words. suicide never stops hurting.

    Yes, but just because someone might not like something, that doesn't mean they shouldn't do what they want to. If everyone spent everyday worried about how something would affect someone else then the world would be so bland and boring.
