Just wanted to say thank you for doing these. Went to Michaels today and picked up some of my Spooky Town for 2023 & watching your videos really gives me an idea of what i want before i get there....the displays are sometimes overwhelming...in a good way...and you could miss something you want. Thx again!!!

I think the ball is more like a kid kicked it over and no one is going over to retrieve it.

Im buying this asap! It looks great and I love the shadows in the windows.

Thanks for commenting on the light bleeding through the resin. I was wondering if it would add to the effect or distract from the shadows. I’m glad to hear it works in the house’s spooky favor. I love that the lights pulse too. I can’t wait to get mine from Ryan.

Can't wait to get this building, it's the only one I wanted this year. Thanks for the review Doug!

I see this being a collector house down the road.

Easily my favorite building release this year. Great aesthetic and lighting.

Love it, I wish it could have pumpkins outside

Good luck with your move Doug so exciting to have a place for your ST! That was one of the first things I thought of when we moved lol!

Thanks for a great review. Definitely gives me "Monster House" movie vibes.. lol I like the pulse lighting for sure. Super excited for your move and a workshop space! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Congrats!! Thanks for fueling our madness 🤪🎃👻💀

Finally got this one, top of my list! Agree with all you said. The LED light bleed through is a little annoying but is what it is. This haunted house gives me a modern, old school Lemax feel. A modern interpretation of how the first houses were mostly white on and off effects. If that makes sense. Great review as always. Wish you the best with move and new memories in the house. You gonna do a contest like years past?

The 3 wire adaptors are the best thing ever! I don't think I could get by without them.

I love this piece/review! I don't mind batteries, but with they had timer functions similar to what is done with fairy lights. If I have it on and fall asleep and/or forget it's on the batteries are dead in the morning!

Doug, I had absolutely NO INTEREST in this pieces, UNTIL I saw the lightbleed. Sure, the silhouette shadows in the windows were cool, but not enough to entice me. Then I started seeing this house with ALL the lights out, like in your video, and the lightbleed add a whole new dimension I didn't expect in the piece. Got mine on order :) Like you, I'm a HUGE Haunted House guy. You even convinced me to get Black Raven Manor. Not because of the video footage, but because of the high praise you gave it. Black Raven Manor was one of those pieces I had to see in person to truly understand what you were saying. So glad I have that one also! Great review as always! vgv

Just over 3 months till October! Can’t wait

just bought one today! Had to have it especially after this review!

Great job Doug . I’m gonna buy this one for sure I love a good haunted house to

Awesome Haunted House, I wish I could get the spooky town houses in Australia 🥲

Dig the orange lighting, glad it isn't bulb lit and like that it can go in one of those 3 in 1 adapters.

I would Love To Install Those On My N Scale.

This is a really good spooky haunted house. I appreciate that theres no silly stuff. The light bleed through adds such a cool effect.

Can't wait to buy that and apt building for 2 on the list for 2023

Thanks, Doug, for another great review. I am displaying my haunted houses this year and considered this one. I was a little confused by the scooter, birdbath, and ball when I saw photos of it, they usually have slightly more macabre items on their really haunted houses (as opposed to trick-or-treat houses). I felt they dug into their parts bin and pulled those items out. I like your explanation better. Glad to hear about the move. More display space and workshop space. Maybe you can shoehorn in a model railroad, eh? 😃

Awesome review Doug 💯🎃

I really like this haunted house, for the same reasons that you cite--it's not overdone or silly, the way a lot of Lemax pieces can be, so it can be a really creepy haunted house. I like the shadow ghosts and pulsating lights too. The Carnival scene-setter arrived safely, BTW, and it looks AWESOME!!

Thanks for reviewing this one Doug! I was really excited to see how it would actually turn out. Have you done any videos or posted tips for building small village setups for those who can't do bigger folding table-style ones and instead have to use like bookshelves, desks or fireplaces?

Also that looks amazing. I’m definitely getting that

Thanks for reviewing this one looks awesome! Man! Moving again? Hopefully you get settled in time for spooky season this year! Can't wait to see you put your new display building skills to work!

The Madness is the greatest part!! lol

Definitely a good madness. Love this house.

When will Michael's release the spooky town collection on-line? Can we get exclusives on-line? I noticed Hpuse of Shadows sold out, will they release more in the coming weeks? Thank you.

I just returned 2 because of light damage 🤦🏽‍♂️

Damn this is a sexy looking house In my opinion

I really like this building, but i am not sure about the shadows that they are like drawings and don't move. Any opinions?

what type of batteries does it need?

First!

Love this one! This is definitely a throwback piece to the old school Lemax and D56 Mansions.

Definitely on my list to pick this one up! It’s going to go perfect in my neighborhood as the spooky neighborhood house.
