Few go all out for Halloween the way Danielle Davis does. For eight of the 18 years she’s been at her current Kirkland residence, where she lives with a white, 16-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix named Ghost, her home’s front yard has, every fall, become a sort of zombie-apocalypse ground zero — or, to be more specific, a ground zero for a zombie Barbie apocalypse.
Inspired by, as she describes it, the “creepy dolls” she’d been seeing creatives charmingly dress up in their spooky best on Pinterest, longtime Halloween lover Davis in 2017 decided to decorate her front lawn with a handful of Barbies she’d zombified.

The collection is added to every year.
