It started around Christmas last year. A North Texas home decked out for the holidays so hardcore that it attracted drivers in droves. And just in the last 24 hours, it’s now known as the “Famous Halloween House.” But to the neighbors, it’s become a total nightmare.
Back in mid-December, 2024, a Dallas “mansion” caught eyeballs. Lots of eyeballs. The home, strung tippy-top to front gate with bright and blinking lights, went viral.
“I know their light bill gonna be high.” ???? Locals in #Dallas have been wowed this holiday season by a #house covered top to bottom in Christmaslights!
It seems as soon as the gory sharks, spooky skeletons, and creepy clown posted up, so did the cars. Fans quickly caught up with the new display and headed over to grab a gander.
The local residents, though, aren’t feeling the Halloween spirit.
They say that traffic gets gridlocked. People park, loiter, and leave trash.
One resident and City Council member sits on a “Quality of Life” committee. She says she’ll be bringing neighborhood concerns to the next meeting.
In her mind, commercial-grade holiday decor draws public event-level crowds. Add in social media, and the resulting traffic becomes highly disruptive to the area.
She told NBC5 that she only has one request: don’t leave trash. She recalls seeing discarded diapers.
Since this year’s Halloween display is already up, City Council might have to just buckle up and deal with the crowds before getting anything added to the decor code.
