Novak, a local artist based in East Dallas, created the horror show with one dummy sprawled on the roof of his house with a large knife through its head.
Another dummy has had its head pounded with a metal safe, and lies in a pool of blood, while one ‘body’ lies with its head completely smashed in.
A horde of zombies can be seen in the window of the house.
However, Novak said he was most proud of the wheelbarrow tipped over by the street, as it looks like a ‘failed attempt to dispose of the dismembered bodies in the middle of the night.’

Officers have been called out multiple times to the property following complaints from locals.
‘Neighbors told me cop cars were in front of my house a lot during the day,’ he told the Dallas Observer.
‘I was only home twice to receive them.
The gruesome display was the work of local artist, Steven Novak, pictured above
‘They told me they thought it was cool and that they were only there because they were required to reply to complaints from the sergeant.’
Novak explained how he had to keep ‘watering’ the bodies to maintain the fake blood, after rainfall kept washing it away.
‘It was raining a lot and washing the blood away so I indefatigably “watered” the bodies every morning for a while to the dismay of early dog walkers and joggers saying as they passed “Watering the bodies!”, he told the publication.
