A model of a hot air-blowing Donald Trum and another of a toothy Hillary Clinton riding the Democratic Party's donkey mascot are among the skeletons and zombies in a Halloween display that has become an attraction and is stopping traffic in a Connecticut town.
History professor Matt Warshauer of West Hartford is using his annual Halloween extravaganza to make a political statement.
Prof Warshauer had been planning the display for months before erecting it.

Warshaues said he hoped people took it in the spirit of Halloween. 'I'm having a little fun and making a political statement,' he said.

'It's a crazy presidential election where it seems politics are out of control,' said Warshauer, who teaches at Central Connecticut State University. 'I am making a statement about both parties, the Republican and the Democratic party, but my primary concern is Donald Trump as a president.'
