A HALLOWEEN display has sparked outrage for featuring 58 gravestones for the Las Vegas shooting victims.

The display was put up outside a home in the same city in Nevada in which gunman Stephen Paddock massacred scores of people just weeks ago.

Images show rows of “spooky” Halloween-style gravestones with images of spiders on them along with the letters “RIP”, and a US flag on each.

Behind the display – which was lit up at night – is a banner on a wall reading “#vegasstrong”.

The display has since been taken down, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

But the move was too little too late for some people, who blasted the “insensitive” decision to set it up in the first place.

One person tweeted: “That's twisted and tasteless. Halloween is about fantasy, we don't need this daily morbid reminder of our city's anguish, now or ever.”

And another wrote: “I find this so disrespectful! What’s wrong with people in our world?”

But others were more understanding and defended the intentions of the person who put up the display.

One Facebook user wrote: “Pretty sure their heart was in the right place with the memorial, but to me, headstones are pretty ghoulish, especially with Halloween right around the corner.”

Another said: “He could have just left the 58 flags as a memorial with the sign that would be ok.”

And neighbour Leo Rullodah told the Review-Journal: “I still don’t understand why other people are offended.”

The mass-shooting left 58 people dead and 527 injured after the lone gunman opened during a music festival.

Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the hotel, raining down bullets on concert-goers before taking his own life.

Police found at least 42 firearms in the 64-year-old's hotel room, leading to a renewed debate about gun control.
