CHELSEA, Alabama (WVTM) — Some residents and business owners are finding a haunted house billboard distasteful in Chelsea.
The billboard can be seen near Snider’s Pharmacy while heading down Highway 280 towards Birmingham. It depicts what appears to be a woman urinating on herself for the Atrox Factory haunted house in Leeds.
Doug Snider, owner of Snider’s Pharmacy, expressed his shock at the imagery, emphasizing that Chelsea is a family-oriented community.
“Honestly, me and my wife rode by probably a week or so ago, and we’re just taken away by it. It was…both of us, it caught our attention right out of the gate, which that’s what a billboard should do. But it was…caught our attention at being disgusting and all that. What were they thinking?” Snider said.
Family members in the area also shared their concern with WVTM 13.
Efforts to reach the haunted house and billboard company for comment were unsuccessful, as both declined to comment.
The City of Chelsea was also contacted but did not respond.
