Thread: It takes a (teeny tiny) village - Show us your Halloween villages! :D

Tweet

The talented Mrs. Gruesome has again set up our Halloween Village (with a little help from me) and she's taken some awesome photos. New this year: some Dept.56 stuff –*The water tower, the "Deep Woods Haunt," some spooky tree stumps AND some home made trees. Something she started last year, the population of Spooky Town will remain a little scarce until Halloween weekend. She's kept the TOT figures aside - she like things a little more "serene". Halloween weekend she'll let the kids help place the TOTers when they stop by for our open house. (They had a lot of fun doing this lastyear, but it's definitely something we want to supervise. Resin miniatures make lousy action figures. We expect to lose a few. Glue at the ready.)

Anyway - more photos in my album...But where is YOUR little village? Represent!

Well I must say Mr. and Mrs. Gruesome, your village is incredible. We have a bunch of department 56 items up, but it certainly does not look as good as yours. The details make the difference. Mine looks like power lines have fallen throughout the town. Maybe I’ll try and snap a photo.

BTW, Love the pumpkin.

LOL on the powerlines! Well I'd love to see some photos of your Dept. 56 stuff. (It's definitely a skill taking photos of these things - if you try to catch it all in one shot, it just looks like crap - it's overwhelming.) Thanks for the compliments.

Gobby that looks awesome! Noticed you have a Lemax Haunted (Skull) Fountain running on your display; does it make the area (and other display pieces) damp? Have thought about using a mister in a display, but was worried about making things wet.

That is definately one of the best villages I've ever seen. Great job! Your camera takes awesome pix too!

WOW its looks spooky Love it!

Does anyone set up Spooky Hallow? I found a ghost ship that has a green flasher bulb really inexpensive at a local thrift store. If anyone would like it, email me privately.

Definitely makes things damp (came with a littlle plastic sheet to put under it) but I guess we're a little odd - we only turn the power on to the village for maybe an hour at a time, so it's not a big deal for us.

That's a lovely collection you have. I'd be fascinated by it, I'd be looking at it for hours.
