He decorates his front yard each Halloween, raises money for cancer research. Admirable. But police became involved because his display terrified neighborhood children. He was inspired by the movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."


The Telegraph newspaper photographed him in his yard beside a mock dismembered corpse and quoted him saying: Can't see what I've done wrong. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
