Halloween is a national holiday in the United States, and frightening displays can adorn entire neighborhoods.

Over the past few years, people have really stepped it up and created both fantastic and horrifying Halloween décor.

Nonetheless, a Utah homeowner who placed a pretty cheeky collection of skeletons received some backlash.

Outside his property, Christopher Fujishin posted a street sign with a pole-dancing skeleton.

There were two more skeletons watching the show from deck chairs, and one of them was upside down and wearing a purple wig.

"Maybe a little risqué for some people but it's all in the name of fun," Fujishin explained to KSTU-TV.

According to the local TV station, the city of Grantsville ordered Christopher to take down the skeleton right away after a vengeful local citizen repeatedly tried to chop it down.

The city stated in a since-deleted Facebook post: "Displays like this are not acceptable.”

"You have until 9 pm tonight (October 18) to take down your decorations or they will be removed by the city.”

"It is against city code to attach anything to a street sign."

Many individuals commented on the post, stating that they found the display to be humorous.

One said: "Oh Grantsville, get a sense of humor. This is literally theeeee funniest thing ever."

Another added: "This is my absolute favorite decoration ever!!!! They switch it up and it’s hilarious! Why are people so uptight? Maybe laugh a little."

Though he doubled down on the show, Christopher followed the instructions to take the skeleton from the street sign.

Now that it's on his front lawn, he's moved it and given the skeleton a freestanding pole to use for decomposition.

Together with more spectators, music, and flashing lights, Fujishin has also added more.

In an effort to enlarge Christopher's display, locals have also begun to drop off their Halloween décor.

"If your kids understand what that is, maybe the problem's not the skeleton dancing on the pole. Maybe it's something else," he said to KSTU-TV.

"We look forward to keeping this going and getting a little more elaborate as we go."
