Make the most zombieriffic front yard ever with these seven awesome and appalling items (and a whole lot more):
Inflatable, Reusable Body Bags
Five feet long, about $16 each. You get one black plastic bag, and a roll of silver tape and about a meter of long rope with each bag. Just blow it up – pump not included. — and then wrap the tape any way you want. You can hang it from a tree or just throw them around the yard. Then when you clean up, you can let the air out, store them, and use them again! Want to make them twitch? Put a little radio-controlled car underneath it and move it around a little whenever anybody comes near. You should see them jump!
A Zombie “garden gnome,” emerging from the earth
He’s holding a lantern and looks like he’s digging his way out. A little small, more like an evil garden gnome than a big ol’ statue, but if you put him in the right place… Just $23 for years of screaming guests!
A unique buzz-cut zombie statue with horrible, horrible eyes
Much bigger than others listed, dead white and crawling up out of the ground. From Design Toscano, one of the best in the lawn-ornament biz. Crushed stone bonded with resin. More than 31 inches a side, 8 inches rising up.
A life-size, noisy “electric” zombie:
Five feet tall, but it looks bigger. We think this was a woman when she was alive, who ran into an electrical fence and went all … undead? Now she carries the fence around with her, and she’ll makes these horrible shock-noises and crackling and even lighting and thunder if you even touch her. $90!
Another noisyi zom coming out of the ground who’s also motion activated. It just lays there until you get up to close and then … Gah! Only $37, complete with the glowing red eyes.
A garland of… dismembered hands and feet?
Life-sized and rotted and fully sculpted. with bright red LEDs between them, so the whole string can be put up high, for the best mood lighting ever. Only $14 a string!
A 3-D Door Treatment to Die For
The zombie is forcing his way out from behind some kind of chain link, with one hand grabbing through. It’s about 32 inches by 20 inches, so it fits any standard door. Polyester, nice and light, with grommets that make it easy to hang. And only $11 each!
… and take a look at a whole separate list of door and window treatments
that can make the front of any house or condo or ruined slag of a warehouse look extra-super spooky in that special zombie way here.
