“I know if it was a real pretty nativity scene they wouldn’t be saying anything,” said Dixon of this second citation for the ghoulish tableau. “I wanted a nativity and I worked with what I had,” he claimed, presumably referring to materials from 13 Rooms of Doom, a haunted house he runs. Believing that his First Amendment rights have been threatened, he’s not exactly backing down, either: “Danger’s my middle name,” he said.

Even so, he’s aware he’s fighting this battle alone: “The neighbors don’t like it,” Dixon said. “My father hates it, and anything bad that happens, he blames it on that.” Just wait till he gets a load of the Easter spread—we hear it’s going to be Aliens-themed.
