Marguerite of Canoe Corner comments and submits:
"We saw this scene last week while on a walk but gosh d*&^ if I didn't bust the camera the night before. Seems cameras don't like cement floors. Anyway I had to wait until this weekend to go back. We hurried back today, relief, they were still there. I don't know what worries me more, that they are still there leering at us or the possibility that they might go out and wander the neighbourhood."
Oh, could someone please prop my neck up again? A little help here.....
Lucifer detests Elvis:
He gets drunk every damn day and all we ask of him is to deliver a few brains for Madeline. Is that too much to ask? Is it?
No one ever knew what happened to the local gardener...
The birds welcome guests into the inner lair. After all they have wings and their brains are small. Aren't they sweet.
I suppose that is the tip jar. I suggest you not look in it.

May the Royal Order of the Manatee guard you from marauding flesh eaters. The Rooster recommends you get your own 4 leaf clover.
I knew I recognized her:
Creepy. Leftover Halloween decorations, or permanent testament to the undead?
ReplyDeleteEl Gaucho, if Marguerite can prove a Halloween connection, she will get a sweet holiday bonus.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that behind the scarecrow in the first picture? A clothesline pole or a cross? I was thinking, oh, this must be Halloween leftovers, but now I'm not so sure. When the snow melts, will they find the gardener on the end of that fork? (I guess it's better than on the nasty, sharp, pointy end.)
ReplyDeleteMarguerite, you are a very, very brave lady.
Canadian zombies are friendly, nature-loving zombies. Just like regular Canadians.
ReplyDeleteAh, now we know where Alexis Carrington retired.
ReplyDeletePoor broken-neck zombie, it's not clear if it's a man or a woman ...
ReplyDeleteWow, those are more like life-size voodoo dolls. Very creepy. I like them.
ReplyDeleteThey even scare me, and that takes a lot. I think the rake is the scariest part....
ReplyDeleteYou know, just when I think Weirdville has it all, I see stuff like this. Is this intentional??? How do you not notice the Halloween decorations as you pull into your driveway each night?? Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I wondered about that also, could be an evil forces protection and yet function when you wash the towels.
ReplyDeleteOlga, so when the end of the world comes... I should head North.
Tufa Girl, no one rocks a shoulder pad like Alexis.
b-a-g, a broken neck is a serious hindrance for a zombie. They can't get a good traction on their bites.
Mom L, I am concerned what is on the other end of that rack.
Lin, unfortunately, I don't think these are Halloween decorations.
ReplyDeleteA new weirdness level has been reached. But honestly, the hand fork is the scariest. Was that Meryl Streep?
ReplyDeleteOK. Creepy. A scarecrow is one thing, but sitting under the tree with a Sith... I'm not sure what they are trying to scare, but they can include me!
ReplyDelete:P That pitchfork reminds me of that Tremors movie...
ReplyDeleteMatt, dang of course that is a Sith... I have excuse me while I turn in my geek badge. (not as big a fan of the last 3 as the first 3)
ReplyDeleteOwen, oh yeah, I like Tremors. I need to find a Tremors themed yard extravaganza.
Oh yes, creepy. Scary too, would not want to stumble on it at night.
ReplyDeleteOwen and LH - oh, yeah, Tremors had me at the first scene with Kevin and the canyon!
ReplyDeleteThe rake - obviously this yard is the Underworld and someone from our side is digging, hoping to garden; oh! what tragedy awaits!!!
I have to tell you I'm so mad at myself. I snoozed and losed. Our neighbor had the worst looking dinosaur planters in the front yard. I thought they couldn't get any worse but they did. They painted them so that one was for Brigham Young University and the other for University of Utah. They were so lovely awful. When I decided to take a picture they were gone! So sorry. You would have loved them. I hope they'll be back someday.
ReplyDeletegwgt, Madeline would certainly startle me.
ReplyDeleteMom L, ohhh so you are a Kevin fan...
Julie, let's hope they just put them away for winter. I would so very much love to see painted dinosaur planters.
that is fu*king weird.
