We’ve come a long way from the garden gnome when it comes to garden sculptures. The iconic gnome, originally created from terracotta, was first made in Germany in the mid-1880s, as both decoration and to add a helping hand to gardeners by gardening at night when everyone else slept. This myth continued to spread for the next century, even spurning a new pastime, gnome hunting.

Continuing on the Home Improvement Blog’s theme of otherworldly phenomena, we’ve discovered that nowadays, the gnome isn’t the only creature of the night spreading soil and warding off evil spirits. For $90 you can protect your turf with a Zombie of Montclaire Moors Sculpture, designed by British artist Alan Dickinson.

The life-sized, grey-toned zombie appears to be clawing his way out of the dirt, his facial expression potent enough to scare away trespassers and priests alike.

Dickinson was commissioned by Toscano Design, a company specializing in both indoor and outdoor statues and sculptures. The Zombie piece is one of 36 so-called “extraordinary sculptures” sold by the Illinois company, which also includes pieces depicting Bigfoot, Easter Island, an alien and—for a mere $695—Revenge of the Great White Shark.

Of course, those resilient gnomes aren’t taking this garden invasion lying down. Expect revenge. No word yet on whether or not this will improve the lot of weed-ridden front yards throughout North America.
