'Hallowed' grounds
With homes throughout Brainerd and Baxter readied for Halloween, are you ready for a scare?
Back
George and Kelli Dziedzic's front yard in Brainerd has plenty of scary stuff for passers-by. Brainerd Dispatch/Kelly Humphrey » Purchase reprints of this photo.
Jason Voorhees from "Friday the 13th," Freddy Krueger from "Nightmare on Elm Street" and Michael Myers from "Halloween" will make their appearance along with zombies, skeletons, corpses, witches and devils, oh my.
Beware as they jump out through the fog and the strobe lights.

All this and a 13-foot evil wizard will be on display at George and Kelli Dziedzic's home on the 1400 block of 14th Avenue Northeast, Brainerd.
And at Amanda Longie's home on the 200 block of First Avenue Northeast in Brainerd, there's a skeleton crawling out of the ground, a man with severed limbs, scarecrows, witches and Dracula. The occasional jack-o'-lantern offers some light from the darkness.

Then there's Robert Musielewicz's home on the 5700 block of Wedgewood Road in Baxter. Musielewicz has had seasonal Halloween displays at his home for years, and this year his yard features life-sized animatronic skeletons, ghosts, a werewolf, a corpse and scarecrows framed by more than 20 lighted pumpkins. Fog and sound affects add to the Halloween illusion.
