When it comes to garden gnomes, people seem to either love them or hate them. However as funny as it may seem, garden gnome massacre statues are one option that both sides almost always agree on. And here is your complete guide to them.
What Are They?
Just like their name suggests gnome massacre statues are statues that depict various creatures killing gnomes in a range of different ways. They are both a fun and unique alternative to standard garden gnomes. And similar to gnomes these hilarious statues are usually under a foot tall in height and often brightly colored.
They are also made from the same types of materials as well. The most common material by far is resin. That’s because resin can be cast to provide an amazing amount of detail and is also weather-resistant, durable, and not as heavy as other options. But of course, you may also find gnome massacres in other materials as well such as concrete or ceramic for example.
Gnome Massacre Options
While gnome massacre garden statues all feature gnomes being killed, there are quite a few different options. That’s because there are just so many creative ways for gnomes to be massacred. (Although being eaten, is usually the most common.)
And of course, there are quite a few different creatures to pick from that are doing the actual gnome killing. For example, both dog and cat-eating gnome statues are particularly popular. But in addition to pets, wild animals such as snakes, bears, alligators, and monkeys among many others are also options.
Predatory dinosaurs like T-Rex seem to have a taste for garden gnomes as well. And for fans of mythical creatures, there are statues of Bigfoot, dragons, unicorns, and even movie monsters such as Godzilla eating gnomes or killing them in a wide range of ways. A few statues even feature various types of garden art like gargoyles and tree faces getting in on the great garden gnome massacre too!
Gore Level
The level of gore depicted in statues can vary. Most statues are blood-free and feature gnomes that are smiling as they are being chomped, stomped, impaled, or killed. But for those who prefer more gore, there are also statues that come with detailed carnage including blood, guts, and don’t forget the terrified expressions on the gnomes’ faces.
Best Uses:
Conversation Piece
There’s no question that gnome massacre statues are attention-grabbing. And they are pretty much guaranteed to get a reaction from anyone who sees them. Therefore they are often placed in areas of the yard or garden where they are clearly visible.
For example, front yards, steps, porches, near paths, or in a prominent spot in the garden or gnome collection are all ideal locations. Because these statues are gnome-sized themselves, they are also used as conversation pieces indoors as well and can easily fit on most shelves, tabletops, and counters.
Gnome Pest Control
Many people find gnomes to be incredibly creepy or even scary. And there’s no better way to keep those pointy-hat-wearing little creatures out of your yard than with a gnome massacre garden statue to scare them away. Statues are also perfect for anyone who would like to show their hatred for gnomes in a humorous way.
Unique Gifts
One of the most popular uses of these statues is as gifts. They are ideal for anyone who has a sense of humor, gnome collectors, gnome haters, and also fans of the specific animals or creatures who are doing the killing. Although be careful it’s also not uncommon to purchase one as a gift but end up keeping it for yourself.
Collect Them
Collecting garden gnomes can be addicting. And the same goes for these statues as well. There are many different ways for gnomes to die, and many creatures to do the job, which can make for an entertaining statue collection.
Halloween Décor
Gnome massacre statues are a natural choice for use as Halloween décor to help create or enhance spooky displays and make them stand out. You may even want to combine them with some zombie gnomes to continue the theme as well.
