one of my favorite things to do is set up a graveyard scene in the front lawn.
a few tombstones with clever epitaphs, some wire coat hangers, sleeves from old shirts, newspaper, and gloves make wonderful zombie hands reaching through the ground.
you can even put a mask over an old t-shirt or something to make the face poking out, too. it's a lot of fun to do and very easy to get creative with your spread.
