London ice cream shop pulls its ‘murder scene’ Halloween display after outrage from locals
AN ICE cream shop has pulled its Halloween display because it was too grisly.
Kaspa’s mocked-up murder scene featured a dummy wrapped in bin bags and duct tape lying beside a knife and covered in fake blood.

It was condemned by knife crime campaigners and customers.
Patrick Green, head of the Ben Kinsella Trust said; “This display is insensitive and is likely to cause distress to anyone who has been affected by knife crime.”
Two councillors in Eltham, South East London, stepped in to demand its removal, saying: “We are very disappointed, it is not at all family-friendly for our high street.”
Kaspa’s said as soon as it was made aware of concerns, the display was taken down.
It added: “It was in poor taste and we apologise for any distress that it’s caused.”

The best Halloween 2022 treat? I think it might be Xbox Game Pass
![](https://asset.vg247.com/Game-Pass-Halloween.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Game-Pass-Halloween.jpg)
Halloween is right around the corner, and I don’t know about any of you, but it’s definitely one of my favourite holidays of the year. Mainly because, unlike Christmas (in which I rarely get to relax, let alone boot up a game), it’s the perfect excuse for me to kick back and chill out with my favourite genre of game, and that’s horror.
Admittedly, I’ve jumped on the Halloween bandwagon rather late this year. I’ve failed to decorate my flat with cardboard bats and fake cobwebs, and I’m still yet to go and acquire candy for any trick-or-treaters.
That said, I dove into Xbox Game Pass recently to line up some games for the Halloween weekend; it appears that while the children knocking on my front door may not get any treats, I certainly have already got one with the gems that are on Game Pass right now.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human’s First Halloween Event Turns Zombies Into Pumpkins
While Dying Light 2’s zombie-filled open world already feels ready for the spooky season, developer Techland has announced a week-long Halloween event to bring even more seasonal treats. The game’s dangerous volatiles have been turned into jack-o-lantern-esque “Pumpkintiles,” with all infected dropping a new currency called “Treats,” which can be traded for Halloween-themed goodies.
The All Hallows Eve event is active now, running from October 25 to November 4, with Techland describing it as Dying Light 2’s “biggest in-game event” since it released in February. The event calls back to the original game’s classic Halloween events, with visual updates scattering decorations around the world–including the pumpkin-headed volatiles.
Once players have collected enough Treats from infected, they can visit a new seasonal in-game vendor called Baka the Unfortunate, who will exchange Treats for potions with unusual new effects.
