Scary Dentist

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

It's Dr. Wayne Gangi's way of saying Happy Halloween - an annual tradition at his Clifton dental office and home. Don't forget to stop by this ghoulish display of corpses, severed limbs, ghosts, rats, snakes and and putrid monsters. And the freaky factor gets cranked up a notch at night. A passing neighbor advised us to come back after dark for the scary music. cropped%20rooftop.jpg

UPDATE: Last year vandals stole more than $7,000 worth of decorations. We're happy that the good doc wasn't frightened by a couple of creepy crims. Enjoy!

As for a repeat of last year -- a couple of the decorations are in cages --others look well tethered. Good luck Dr Wayne!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the decorations stay put this year. Where's Michael Myers when you need him :oP

This display is worth visiting both during the day and night -- my little ones had a ball yesterday afternoon1

Check out the house on Nassau Road in Verona. They always have inflatable displays for every holiday and season.

Good place for target practice!

The story goes, that many of his neighbors helped him this year in covering the cost for the display, ah... like a Good Neighbor..

A great house to see..But, go at night for sure.

Not to be a buzzkill, but does NO ONE else have a problem with this display? It's not just ghosts and goblins - it is mutilated and headless torsoes - MANY of them SMALL CHILDREN - and graphic scenes of torture. Really...no one else?

Nope. Halloween is supposed to be scary.

Scary sure, but I think this crosses the line being on a very public corner right near the school. I am all for NC-17 rated gore, but not on someone's front lawn.

It's his lawn!

No one is forcing anybody to go see this!

I got that - I'm not saying he doesn't have the RIGHT to do it, I am just surprised no one else thinks maybe it goes a little far. Me? I'll go see SAW III this weekend and keep my Halloween decorations fun and spooky for the kids who see them.

"Scary sure, but I think this crosses the line being on a very public corner right near the school. I am all for NC-17 rated gore, but not on someone's front lawn."

Are you nuts? This stuff rocks! (and hardly NC-17).
Kudos to the owner for doing this after the dirtbags stole his stuff last year!

Fine - I give up. Headless baby cadavers ROCK!!! We need more simulated violence and gore on our streets!!!

This display could be better... there is no theme or balance... it's just tons of halloween monsters strewn across the lawn... I've seen better, for less $$. Perhaps another robbery will cancel Halloween for all of Clifton. I thought the scariest thing last year was the sign they made.
