Ideas for a Halloween Town & MOCs

The season of scaring is not for another few months but I figure we could pool some ideas together on what would be cool to feature in a custom Halloween Town in the meantime and even continue afterwards for years to come. I think we all know the Monster Fighters sets are a given for this epic diorama so what I am really shooting for is more about unique build ideas or special scene setups over 'straight-from-the-box' designs. I should give gratitude to Alpinemaps for the inspiration from conversation in the "What did you build today?" thread.

Alright here's an idea to start. Each Escape from Mirkwood Spiders set includes two of those spider sacks and a tree to hang them from. Now my idea is to have a generic Lego skeleton figure in one of those while the other has a skull head with some bone pieces.

Thats a pretty cool idea. I love mazes - wouldn't mind having a lego one.

 

When I was like 10, my family and I went in a giant corn maze. They gave up half way through but I spent another 2 hours figuring it out. Achievements bro

For a split second I thought they were going to show LEGO Fields of Dreams ;)

 

Skip to 20:48.  Darn impressive Medieveal Castle/village layout.  

Also, 24:39 :shocked:

thats true! good thing i got it, now the only question would be should the GB's be running away from the HH in terror? or should the monsters be fleeing from them? one thing that i was a tad bid dissapointed was that the set didnt come with any pieces representing the particle streams.  any ideas of what could be used?

 

 

One possible option for the particle streams are the Electro pieces in 76014 Spider-Trike vs Electro.

How about the antenna in translucent neon green made classic from the Blacktron series? They can be attached right at the end of each neutron stick on the proton pack the Ghostbusters wear and the piece is still being used in sets today making them fairly cheap & easy to acquire. If the neon green is not your style then you could try the newest color for the part of translucent bright green available only in Spinlyn's Cavern. On average the set includes two plus an occasional extra so you would need two of the set either way.

I think the Ecto-1 made with black pieces instead of white would make a cool hearse for a Halloween scene.

Very cool!

Here's an idea for a random character. How about this torso from the Chima sets but with light bluish gray arms and hands to match, then a pair of these legs, and top it off with this head or any of the zombie ones with perhaps a certain helmet, hairstyle, or hood to complete the look. It could be a necromancer, undead warrior, or (for Evil Dead fans) a Deadite! Just one of those random ideas when I saw the torso.

There is also this cool alien skull helmet from Space Police III that might look cool on something.

Tonight I built 8056 Monster Crab Clash from Atlantis.  As I mentioned in the build thread, I pulled it from a big bulk lot I had.  I like this little crab; he's going into the Halloween Town.  He's definitely creepy enough, and he's got the right colors, too.

I found these intriguing contraptions and thought they could fit well into the Halloween scene somewhere. Plus they are just wicked cool.

Hopefully we'll get a Krampus minifigure.

Edited by jaisonline
I moved the Krampus posts into this thread since they seem out of place in the "10245 - Santa's Workshop" thread. Additionally, a Krampus MOC seems to fit this thread's "season of scaring" (in a fun way of course) :)

Hopefully we'll get a Krampus minifigure.

 

Found this one on Google haha.

This post will def be a highlight in that Halloween building thread. Maybe Dobby's head (Harry Potter) can be used?

I'm in the car (long red light) and will move this post along with the prev one later as this thread is about celebrating the joy this set will bring to many during the holidays ;) Yeah, I know. The other one focuses on Halloween but it seems more appropriate there.

In the car. You tweet while you drive don't you? lol.

no way.  i have too much to live for (kids, wife, dad, etc...) to risk an accident  I'll never text / wrote email while driving.  I was stopped (in park) when the long traffic light turned red.

My son wanted a haunted house for his birthday last year. So I started my first MOC. I got the ideas from the LEGO PLAY book. There is a fantastic section under the name "when things go bump in the night". In the end we had a haunted village and used mostly this sets:

30200 zombie car

850487 Halloween minifig set

79005 lord of the rings

79001 hobbit spider set

I also used as well bricks from the master builder adventure set.

As I did not have enough grey/black bricks I ordered two castle sets without mini figures from ebay.

That reminds me of the different modular enhanced mods of the Arkham Asylum Breakout set I have been meaning to post. (Each image has a link.)

That`s awesome! The second pic looks the best IMHO, would look great on any Modular street.
