The Bucks County NAACP (and other chapters) are condemning a Pennsylvania homeowner’s Halloween display which depicts several bodies wrapped in black trash bags, with duct tape and rope around their necks, all hanging from a tree. Despite the backlash and calls for removal, the homeowner denies any racial agenda at play here, and insists the Halloween decorations will remain through the holiday.
On Tuesday (October 13), local outlet Lower Bucks Source reported on the controversy over a Bristol Borough resident’s Halloween display depicting dead bodies hanging from a tree. LBS said neighbors, namely Karla Scott, brought the “offensive” issue to a City Council meeting on Monday (October 12). According to LBS, Scott said:
“Now, I don’t know if the person is just not educated on this, but it’s very offensive, not just to the black people in the community, but the community as a whole. And I just wish someone would speak to them and have them taken it taken down because it’s becoming I just can’t explain it, but it’s not appropriate for 2026.”
