Heh.

I think a life size plastic skeleton that look half buried and raising from the flowerbed would do the trick too. 

:devil2:

You can also get assorted limbs to stick out of the ground or bushes.

Needs a little moss and some mold slime...THEN it would be perfect.

:mrgreen:

I want one...that odd patch of ground behind the barn where the hikers 'pass through'...

Heh.

It reminds me of Captain Cronan getting up first thing in the morning.

Just to remind everyone what Cronan looks like on a good day:

He's either a micro-zombie, or I want Opas to bake a cake.

"Slice of the chocolate gateaux?"

"That would be wonderful. Pass me a plate, would you. There's one covering Oregon."

Superb! What other foodstuffs can we zombify?

"And for Sir, a plate of Undead Ravioli? Or possibly the Nosferatu al funghi?"

That would be ghoul ash for the hungry Aryans

This year I will get around to making Scabby Grey Matter pasta, even if I do miss the Zombie Walk again.

What noodle best simulates brains? (not branes)

Perhaps candele (http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/pastas/glossary2.asp#c) if you can find it or perhaps try to make it yourself.

Yes, especially if slightly overcooked (to the point of collapse), those should work.

The sauce will be a (fermented) black bean / ginger / soy cream sauce, with sundried tomatoes.

Wanna' be really convincing?

Not pasta or noodles but heavy cream whipped until it almost turns butter mixed with liver pâté...


Don't ask... :devil2: :halo:

How about potato gnocci?

And you could wash it down with a brain hemorrhage cocktail.
