CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett likes to go all out with his Halloween displays he sets up in his front yard—but this year he outdid himself with an incredible "Stranger Things" setup.
Garrett, a fan of the show, installed the display featuring the Season 4 villain "Vecna" hanging from his entryway. Like in the show, Garrett's Vecna keeps his victims in his Mindscape wrapped up in the hive mind vines. But rather than Chrissy, Fred and Patrick, Garrett's Vecna has the quarterbacks he's sacked this season—Ravens' Lamar Jackson, Patriots' Bailey Zappe, Jets' Joe Flacco and Panthers' Baker Mayfield—wrapped in the vines.
Garrett's Vecna also has sights set on his next victim: Bengals' Joe Burrow. In Garrett's display, Burrow is levitating in the yard, palms up, completely taken over by Vecna's mind control—the telltale sign that a sack is incoming and Garrett will have a new quarterback joining his Halloween Mindscape.
The "Stranger Things" display features other nods to the show, including the Christmas light alphabet wall and a giant Mind Flayer in the center of the yard.
Last year, Garrett's Halloween display drew plenty of attention as he set up a quarterback graveyard with all of the QBs he's sacked in his career. He then entered the Browns' Halloween game dressed as the quarterback Grim Reaper.
While the defensive back enjoys the spooky holiday, he also will hope that his display is a predictor for how Monday night's Halloween game against the Bengals will go—and that no one is around to play Burrow's favorite song so Garrett can complete his control and help the Browns break their four-game losing streak with a big primetime win.

The fans have displays, too
Elsewhere in Northeast Ohio, Tony and Jill Timoteo's Browns Halloween display continues to attract quite the crowd.
The front yard of their North Ridgeville home has become more and more crowded, filled with headstones of every Browns starting quarterback since 1999.
"Waking up in the morning after a Browns loss and looking at my front yard is miserable," Tony Timoteo said.
Some headstones have their own props, such as Johnny Manziel's inflatable swan and mardi gras beads, and Baker Mayfield's "danger zone."
"We got to laugh in the misery sometimes when we’re having a bad year," Timoteo said. "We don’t want it to be negative, but the Browns keep us in business. The joke has always been if you start for the Cleveland Browns, your demise is inevitable."
The family told News 5 its display continues to attract a steady stream of cars and trick-or-treaters.
"That’s the whole thing about the graveyard and why everyone loves it: each member in here, somebody somewhere thought that was going to be the guy," Timoteo said.
The graveyard comes back every year. However, its gates were closed beginning in 2019 with the belief Baker Mayfield, after a successful rookie season, held the key that locked it up.
It goes without saying, the gates are no longer closed.
"I will be more than happy to shut this down when the Browns can get to a Super Bowl," Timoteo said.
