OK so just thought this one up... any similarity to anything people have done in the past is purely coincidental! 
Place a small bell on a short pole (approx 2 feet high) next to a prominent tombstone in your display. Rig up (I haven't thought this totally through yet) a small motor that will periodically tug on a string extended from the bell at the top of the pole down into the grave. Kinda spooky as people are going past. Of course the tombstone epitaph should read: "D. Ed Ringer" or "Barry Delive" or something silly along that lines.
This of course stems from the semi-urban legand that had bells rigged up from their coffins in the rare occasion that they should be prematurely buried alive! They could then ring and be "Saved by the Bell"! Ar, Ar, Ar!
Don't think I'll have this rigged up for this year but for 2009... oh yeah!
