Halloween fun or inappropriate? Pittsburgh man’s over-the-top decorations (warning - pics) [View all]

A Halloween display in Pittsburgh is causing quite a controversy.

A man in a small neighborhood within the Pittsburgh city limits has his front yard decorated with blood, plastic dolls and a cannibal bunny rabbit.

Some people in the neighborhood said the display is too graphic and they want it to be taken down.

>> Photos: You decide. Are these decorations acceptable or over the line?

But Joe Dauria said it’s all in good fun for the upcoming holiday.
