Default about " as possible as one can"

Hi,

the use of " as possible as one can" is wrong in the follwoing sentence, right?
"Thyhe decorate their houses and turn the houses into scary places as possible as they can.

isn't it should be " as... as one can" or " as ...as possible"?

Am I right?
(though i still find some 3100 "as possible as one can" in google.)

Thanks a lot!

Confused Paula
