    I am curious as to how many of you have a indoor ceramic Halloween Village?

    I have one that grew and grew until I made the announcement to everyone that I will buy no more. I have it set up on three different levels so that you can see all the buildings and little details.

    At the widest it is 5 feet wide and extend over 5 feet in depth. I will try and post some pictures. However the photos I have are the pre-fog pictures. I addes some white batting that made great fog around the buildings.

    jbrimaco....I think your village looks great!! I have a very small but colorful Thanksgiving village that I added a few Halloween things too. Next year I would like to start buying the pieces to at least start a Halloween village. I tried to tell my family to stop buying buildings for my Xmas village as it is 83 buildings and is starting to take over the house.

    Told them>>>Halloween buildings......... buy Halloween buildings! lol

    These Lemax forums with the villages now have sections for the Halloween villages too so there are so many ideas there.

    Muffy,

    I know what you mean. They really do take over a lot of space. I love my Spooky town!

    We started out with a "cute" type of haunted village, but its slowly been pushed out by LeMax buildings. We put it up early and get to enjoy it through the season - but with the sounds off. They can get on your nerves after awhile...

    I have some leMax houses and a lot of the little ToT's and accessories that go with them. Put one house in the BR and have the rest atop the entertainment ctr, which is a pretty good size space.

    I really enjoy stuff like this but as a collector mentality type person I know I'd get out of control. I never had a Christmas village or any such thing growing up but now that I think about it it could be a cool tradition for my wife and I to start with our new daughter.

    A Witch From Canada,
    You could be patient and buy the LeMax Spooky Town houses when they are on sale or at the end of the season (my favorite time). I have a hard time paying retail for anything other than the people for the town.

    ChrisW,
    I know what you mean about the sound (noise). It is good in very small amounts.

    IshWitch,
    Size really becomes an issue with me since I like to have a display for the town. So until I am ready to make a display on another level I am done buying more.
