A passing veteran thought someone was in distress when he saw a Clark Griswold dummy dangling from a family home.
A family’s attempt to win their neighbourhood Christmas lights competition ended up causing panic when a passer-by thought a man was stuck on their roof.
The Heerlein family in Austin, Texas, decided to recreate the decoration scene in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, complete with a hanging Clark Griswold.
In the scene, Clark, played by Chevy Chase, slides down the roof of his house while adding the lights and ends up dangling from the gutter.
So the Heerlein family hung a dangling Clark front and centre of their decoration, but it took veteran Alfred Norwood Jr by surprise when he walked past one day.
