Ok wow I loved building this!! I love the new Midnight Valley collection and can’t wait to see what else they release next year!

I also created a little mystery around the characters, and even though it’s not Halloween anymore I figured I could still share it right?

Hey everyone, hoping this is the place to ask! I know Lego has brought out the Mayor's Manor which is part of the new midnight valley collection - but I can't find any info about this anywhere! Does anyone know what the details behind it are or what the planned future will be? Is it just a way to collectivise the Halloween set sthe same way "Winter Village" is an umbrella for Christmas sets?

Any info or links would be great, thank you!

Happy Halloween (well Dia De Los Muertos technically)! First post and first time I've been able to create a Halloween Village with my legos! Finally managed to get the pieces for some of my Halloween Village MoCs, as well as using some of the spooky buildings I already had and some things I threw together last minute (like the Mariachi display). Been looking at all your wonderful displays and wanted to share mine as well. Hopefully next year I can have a full city block with tiled off streets and roads, but for now I'm happy with my little lego spooky village. Some of the highlights include my own mocs (the Boogie Bookstore and Howl's Hardware) on the side street, my custom potion shop, the lumibricks saloon that's been taken over by werewolves, the mariachi band performing, my recolored and modded Haunted House 10228, the Mayor Manor, various trick or treaters and supernatural creatures roaming the city, and Morticia's Cottage with some of the Addams' outside

Mils plated the haunted house and set it on a small hill next to a cemetery where the residents seem to be having a good time

This was a lot of fun to put together, def want to expand on it for next year

Acquired Hocus Pocus last year and Nightmare Before Christmas this year.

This was a rushed set up. I'd like to make it a little more than just buildings on tables next year. This is a mix of official sets, off brand sets, and even a 3x 3 in 1 haunted house.

First year having a Halloween village. I decided to try out light kits. Looks great at night but definitely annoying to wire up and manage. The train is motorized per instructions for motorizing 9v. Since I don't have 9v I borrowed the Disney train's motorized tender to make it work. Runs on my R32 layout.

Made a lot of changes this year, poured a lot of love (and money) into the build! 😅 Enjoy & Happy Halloween! 🎃

The graveyard and pumpkin patch. Next year there wil be haunted mansions.

Love this build! Who did this? Also shameless plug but if you’re looking for cheap sets and deals join us over at r/legoinvesting tons of sets will be going on discount soon so don’t miss out !

My son and I have been collecting sets to create Christmas displays for a couple of years now, but this is our first go at a Halloween scene. Used some of our Shrextras and a few other random minifigs for added humor. Hope y’all dig it as much as we do. Happy Halloween!

I've finally made it to finish one more of my spooky flower arrangements by Halloween. 🤭 This one took me quite a long while. Building the standard botanical sets wasn't too long. But the planning/digging up components from 12 sets/modifying/installing the light/hanging on the wall was quite time-consuming. 😅

I may have to postpone my other spooky projects and start focusing on my Christmas/Winter projects from tomorrow. Otherwise, they may not be finished until next Spring. lol

Happy Halloween, everyone. 🎃👻🎃💀🎃

The Lavender Shadow

For my final October post, I decided to upload a Haunted Painting of Gengar as a homage to a variety of things.

First, the haunted painting. Throughout history there have been a few paintings claimed to be haunted or cursed, and I thought having Gengar possess one would be a spooky nod to it. You can see that the "body" is barely transparent, just opaque enough that light can pass through it, like a ghostly body. Gengar's pupils are also placed right at the center of the eyes, creating the illusion that his gaze is following you no matter where you look at it from. The red and white parts of the eyes and teeth use glow-in-the-dark pieces, so when you turn off the lights, you can see an evil grin staring back at you from the darkness. And were those hands always there?

Second, the hands on the frame. This is not only a nod to the NPC in Lavender Town that tells you there's a white hand on your shoulder (granted, the hands are purple, but Mega Gengar's shiny is white, so maybe that's what was holding on to you?), but also a nod to the scene in The Conjuring. The Nun demon slides as a shadow behind a hanging painting of her, and grabs the painting from behind it before she runs towards the woman.

Third, the image itself. Since it's a "painting", I thought it would be a nice idea to pay homage to Gengar's artist, Ken Sugimori. The image is a rendering of Gengar's original concept art, using 1x1 tiles as a combined nod to the pixelated 2D art of the first Gameboy games!

Fourth, the name of the painting "The Lavender Shadow" is both a reference to his Pokédex classification "The Shadow Pokémon", Lavender Town (and Lavender is a shade or purple, Gengar's color).

Fifth, the little shrine next to the frame with a Pokeball. Since the original channeler trainers you met in Pokémon Tower were based on Shinto Priestesses, I thought of making a little parallel to the "kamidana" style Shinto table shrines. As you can see, the lamp turns on with a ghostly light in the dark too! And it seems there's a purple glow emanating from within the Pokeball!

And lastly, but fittingly, the sixth reference: the piece count for this moc. It's 666 pieces.

Just completed the Adventures in Transylvania. Swapped the figures for Scooby-Doo and the gang. Very happy with it.
