EVERETT, Mass. - Some Everett residents are fed up with their neighbor's disturbing Halloween decorations.
Some said the decorations cross the line, but the homeowner said it's all in the spirit of the season.
At the crossroads of Lynn and Estes streets, Nick Servideo's home is decorated with several scary decorations including a half of a body hanging on a cross, a guy with his guts coming out, and a Grim Reaper.

Servideo said this is what he does every October. His goal is to put the gory back into Halloween.
But some neighbors think it's a little too much and are wondering what he is thinking.
"I think it is Halloween," Servideo said. "I think people putting up giant Winnie the Pooh blowups and giant cats are getting away from the whole idea it's not about being cute. You got to get back to the scary stuff."
A couple of neighbors want to see the garbage bags made to looks like people hanging from a tree taken down. They feel as though it is a racial statement.
One neighbor has filed a complaint with the NAACP, but Servideo said he didn't mean any harm.
"It is a trash bag. They come in green and black. We just thought the black looked scarier," he said.
Servideo and his family and friends have been decorating their house for years on Halloween and don't have any intention of stopping.
"It doesn't bother me," a neighbor said. "It is Halloween; people do crazy stuff."
