Thread: Bates Mansion/Addams Family houses

Tweet

If your looking for something different for your village, and you don't mind putting it together you can get the Bates Mansion and the Addams family houses at some hobby shops. The Bates mansion is a little smaller than the Spooky Town pieces(1/87 scale).

Oh! Those look fun

*This is off topic, but I liked the old emoticons more

I put these two houses together a few years ago, made a diorama with them and was even lucky enough to buy a 1965? Caddy hearse (manufactured in Germany) 1/87th scale, a bargain at $10.oo! I think. It's die-cast, what else would a hearse be ("Die"-Cast!)
The really strange thing about this is how many people have seen these houses and unless you are over a certain age.. you have no idea what these houses are representing, notta clue! (I'm 62yr. old)

I love these!!! I've never seen them before. How easy are they to put together? I consider myself craftsy (kinda') but my impatience gets in the way. And about how much did they run?

Ha, those are great.

Hi Boobear, I've seen them online for anywhere from 25.00-30.00 bucks each. Check your local hobby shops first. Skill level is moderate (10 years old and up) Hope that helps.

Love the Bates house!!! It's probably my favorite of all creepy movie houses, in fact, I have a framed photo of it on my wall. Somehow, though, the Addams Family house doesn't look as much like the TV version. Maybe the tower is a bit off scale? Or it could be that I'm used to seeing it painted white. Oh well, they're still very cool and a great addition to any village!

I would definitely like to have the Bates house.

Edited to add: I would rather have the real thing, but I'll settle for this.

Looks wonderful, Billy. I've got the Bates Mansion sitting in my closet waiting for me to put it together, along with a bunch of others. This might be the inspiration I need to get going.
