It’s going to look awesome. I have my sister watching your channel now.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@odellrivas7602]

I am getting this piece. Love the apple and the accessories are well detailed.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Agree-you’ll like these!

[@craigflynn1981]

What type of LED bulbs do you use , and where do you get them from? Thank you

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

C7 LED bulbs from Amazon-tons on there

[@davidbenson7592]

Enjoyed your review and agree with the great detail of these pieces. I like that the house is not glossy even though it’s made of porcelain. The yellow LED really looks good. What brand did you purchase? I hope Lowe’s has that Jack-o-lantern again this year.

[@davidbenson7592]

I think of the old ones as New England Village size because D56 maybe wanted them to fit in with that line.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thanks! The LEDs are from Amazon-don’t really know the brand-plenty to choose from. Our Lowes hasn’t put out much of anything this year so far-hopefully soon!

[@marinarivera8861]

Pretty cool.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thanks!

[@aaronschmeling1414]

Love your stuff, Carl! How would you do railroad tracks for the Dept. 56 Halloween train?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hahah-funny you should ask. I’m teaching my next in-person class on just that! I’ll likely do something for the channel relatively soon.

[@solutions2exist556]

The yellow led light bought from whom if you do not mind. Love your videos; but I struggle at villages. You are the master. Thanks.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! I just search Amazon for colored LED c7 bulbs-plenty to choose from!

[@JCSteel2112]

Hi Carl! They look great! Is the scale the same as the previous pieces?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

No-these are much larger than the Sleepy Hollow-een pieces.

[@Wrath_0f_Zeus]

Great content as always. Love the Halloween themed table runner in the first part of the video. Where did you get it?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Fabric from Joann’s!

[@redtrinitygirl]

Is this set out this year?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yes

[@barbaraaria]

I love the series! I have it on order from Country n More…..but so far haven’t seen it!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

It’s really nice!

[@kend6359]

I purchase my leds from Amazon. I find this company has the brightest bulb. Luxrite c7 led. The shape is great for fitting in buildings and come in 7 colors! $11.99 for a pk of 6.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Awesome-thanks!!

[@obsessedwith_christmas]

Sounds neat. I really like ypur detailed reviews. I am ready to see your village all put up!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! Coming soon!!

[@rolandjones784]

Another great video, man...your making me excited for Halloween and to set up my Dept 56 Halloween pieces. Where do I start in collecting? *I have the Haunted Huntman house box set, Rest n peace 2021, jemir bone street lights, the grim reaper, rat catcher, so far... There are some many themes..any suggestions?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! Suggest you just start simple and small-make a nicely detailed vignette with something you already have. If I were to start over again, I’d only collect crypts and trick or treat lane houses!

[@rolandjones784]

@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl thank you. I saw your crypt set hope you show it again. I think I want to start a crypt collection. Will my pieces I have which are from Snow Village Halloween, help to start a crypt collection?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

If they’re crypts they will! The 2021 Crypt and the rat catcher are two that are in my crypt collection!

[@Kat_Nguyen]

Nice piece. So this is going to being seperate from your other Sleepy Hollow display? I thought this was adding to it. But it sounds like it maybe its a whole new version of it that might not go together.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Correct-completely different! Size especially!

[@jasonstatum1527]

Carl, thanks for another great review! I will definitely have to add these pieces to my collection. Where did you get the glowing Jack-o-lantern at the beginning of the video? It looks great!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! I got it at Lowe’s last year!

[@beverlyvitullo1629]

I pre ordered these pieces months ago, they haven't arrived yet but seeing these makes it worth the wait.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yeah-you’ll like these for sure!

[@amandalwayman4046]

Sometimes I don’t understand D56. I have all of the original pieces and almost ordered these. I would have been really irritated that they were a different scale. I can’t see myself displaying two Sleepy Hollow scenes. I’m putting this one in the Silver Bullet 25th Anniversary category.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I hear ya! The original Sleepy Hollow-een were marketed completely separately from other villages-more along the size of the Dickens’ village pieces. They were only available as “gift sets” in four separate boxed sets. These new ones are a part of the Snow Village Halloween release-a totally different size. I like them and think they’ll be a nice collection-it’ll just take up more space in order to display them all vs. the smaller Sleepy Hollow-een sets.

[@amandalwayman4046]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl I appreciate your detailed review so I didn’t buy something that I couldn’t use.

[@PossumLady8262]

Ordered the Ichabod Crane house, Gunpowder horse and Ichabod himself today! This is such a great remake of the older Sleepy Hollow house. Can’t wait until Dept 56 unveils the next one. I already have the headless horseman with lit pumpkin. I also got my Kraken house a few days ago too. Carl…you’re very dangerous on my wallet! 😂😂

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hahah-I’m pretty rough on mine as well!! You’ll enjoy them all I’m sure!

[@karengourneau8515]

I been thinking of ordering this set too. Every year I have to watch Spooky Hollow, even if it's just a part of the show, it's all good.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I hear you!

[@michelleleebento1888]

Oh its porcelain I thought resin...good ok...

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yeah, the house is ceramic-accessories are resin
