The usual ghouls and goblins and everything scary will once again adorn our houses this Halloween. However, there is another display that is catching the eyes of passerby’s and it seems it is much scarier than all the rest. The Halloween twist this year is the US Election theme that seems to be scarring the lights out of everyone. . . Politically that is.
Central Connecticut State University history professor Matt Warshauer created the Halloween attraction more as a political statement.”It’s a crazy presidential election where it seems politics are out of control,” said Warshauer. “I am making a statement about both parties, the Republican and the Democratic party, but my primary concern is Donald Trump as a president.”
Warshauer said that it took him months planning for the design before he started with the construction last Saturday.
Something to Think About
Among the display is a skeleton holding a placard that says. “We were all immigrants,” while another reads, “We are not criminals”. The display is pointing at Donald Trump’s proposal to curb illegal immigration.
“I hope people take it in the spirit of Halloween. That I am having a little fun and making a political statement,” Warshauer added. “I want people to look at history and I want people to look at our politics in a thoughtful way. I’m not asking people to think what I think but I am asking people to think. That’s my goal.”
