Man\u2019s Halloween decorations slammed for being \u2018too realistic\u2019 TIKTOK: 34yfhmlA man\u2019s realistic Halloween decorations depicting a raging fire inside his home has sparked backlash on TikTok. In a 12-second clip filmed from the outside, a house appeared to be engulfed with flames, with a bright orange fiery glow visible in every window of the home\u2019s three floors. However, to the surprise of onlookers and viewers, behind-the-scenes footage in the video revealed that it\u2019s just an illusion set up with three items. To create the appearance of fire and smoke inside the rooms, the homeowner used a series of orange lights, a fan, and a sheet to blow around. The video was shared by content creator 34yfhml, who wrote in the text-overlay: \u201cMy neighbor\u2019s Halloween decorations. Almost helped him put out the fire.\u201d The post quickly went viral on TikTok, amassing over 40 million views, with many users criticizing the Halloween decorations for being \u2018too realistic\u2019 and even suggesting it could be dangerous. \u201cI\u2019m trying to understand what this has to with Halloween,\u201d one unimpressed viewer wrote. \u201cLove halloween decs etc but I don\u2019t like this that\u2019s awful,\u201d another added. \u201cIt looks very real, problem is if someone calls 999 and fire brigade turns up, it\u2019s taking the fire brigade away from a real fire somewhere else,\u201d a third commented. \u201cThat\u2019s not Halloween d\u00e9cor, that\u2019s tryna get 911 to ur house every 5 minutes,\u201d someone else shared. While most users were less than impressed, some people found the decors creative and praised the homeowner. \u201cBest Halloween decorations I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d one said. \u201cThis is pure genius, another added. Earlier this month, firefighters in New York rushed to a house fire call only to find Halloween decorations instead of flames. The fire department later shared footage of the set-up, calling it \u201camazing.\u201d For more entertainment news and other viral stories, be sure to check out our coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
