Lemax Spooky Town and Dept 56 Halloween Village 2018

[@giannis6552]

I decided to start a halloween village just a few days ago. Your video has captivated me. It is just such an inspiration!

[@3StripesBenz]

Outstanding 👏 I've been watching these videos for hours and this is one of my favourites maybe the best I've seen. Started collecting myself last year so I'm excited to display and add to it again soon! 🇬🇧

[@mamadoom9724]

This is my Halloween village goals all the way. I love how it’s not overdone and doesn’t just look like a bunch of clutter. Everything looks nice, neat, and realistic. I’ve watched this so many times!

[@bugbat1331]

Your realistic approach is just outstanding! Absolutely the best I've ever seen. Well done!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@DollyHot]

This is without a doubt, the best Halloween Village that I've seen. Well done!

[@_Spinsticker]

Dolly Thank you!

[@karlgephart3724]

So clean and non-chaotic

[@orangejuice7380]

This put the biggest smile on my face, I wish Halloween was like this

[@_Spinsticker]

Orange Juice Thanks OJ!

[@davidbenson7592]

This is an amazing display. Love the moon and streetlights especially. Also enjoyed how you incorporated a pumpkin patch and cemetery in between the mansions, church, etc.

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@nickwatson8436]

Wow! That is amazing.

[@tracy9397]

Absolutely love this!!!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@chantebrown9720]

Art at its finest. Love it!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@deborahboban5187]

I think you have the best aesthetic. You actually create a village/town. You have streets, sidewalks and lampposts. Love your work.

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you

[@dianaricart974]

Fabulous!!!!!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@TheHouseOfSplatter]

Absolutely amazing village! I'm new to villiging and I love the nostalgic take! Reminds me of an easier time! This is exactly what I would like create. Will you share some pro tips regarding how you created the roads, sidewalks, platforms, and leafs? Also, what music is this? Thanks you very much and again, amazing video!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you!

[@MelH87]

This is great! It looks like a real moment frozen in time. The pumpkin patch is my favorite! Great job. I have the Sleepy Hollow town that I put out every year but would love to have more. I don’t have the room unfortunately.

[@davidtirado6624]

Amazing display!!, have you ever thought of a train set connecting or bridge between Christmas village with Spooky Town? I bet it would be epic, the 2 most iconic holidays with their respective designs. Like a vs type display or worlds collide.

[@stephenclaus]

Fantastic Halloween Display. The best Halloween town ever!!!!! Love the height of the buildings and the way you did it with foam sheets I am guessing. Carved then painted. It looks so realistic. A+ display.

[@_Spinsticker]

Stephen Regal thank you! Can’t wait for Fall! lol

Daniel I could watch this over and over and still see something new. This is very impressive congratulations job well done.

[@_Spinsticker]

Heidi M Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😀

[@VillageVignettes]

Your modular sections are absolutely fantastic! All of the buildings and accessories blend perfectly in with your display, and I love when a village looks like a full scene/diorama like this. Really well done! If I had the room, this is exactly the kind of thing I would want to do for myself. About how large is the entire display?

[@_Spinsticker]

Village Vignettes Thanks! I appreciate that. I think you do great work yourself. Detailed and well thought out. The complete village is 55” X 55” it isn’t really what I had planned. I wanted to do a huge graveyard. I sort of just mixed the completed ones together in a way I liked for this year. I had planned on doing a few more sections but never got around to it. Maybe next year

[@babs3483]

How do you make your platforms for your houses? This looks absolutely amazing. Feels real! I love it

[@mightylonesome9426]

That was cool. Good job keeping in spirit with the occasion. Thanks for the tour.

[@stephanelogan6186]

One of the best Halloween village i have seen on KZbin, i love the atmosphere and your display, congrats for your work 10/10 !!

Sharon Arndt-Nelson thank you

[@D56er-StephenReems]

Excellent 👻

[@GregSchupp]

Love your layout... do you by chance have a list of the buildings in the video? Thanks

[@encapsulated_nomad1359]

This is so cool can’t believe I’m barely seeing this. I’m getting into miniatures recently and this is by far the best display I’ve seen thus far. You’ve really given me some inspiration

[@_Spinsticker]

Eileen Carrasco Thanks Eileen!

[@richa7970]

Amazing job you obviously know what your doing nice video and song nice touch thanks for educating me.👍🏽

[@bumpingpost]

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing. How did you create the blue moon?

[@RexanaSmith]

Holy!!! This is great

[@lorimassey29]

So cool

[@not6709]

Really great!

[@trudyharper9222]

So realistic!!

[@angelalopez9395]

Spectacular I love it

[@heidim6468]

So Daniel I have made my bases and getting ready to moss my yards but I have to ask when you did the sidewalks how did you get the whole piece cut that thin to fit under the brick walls.

[@ingridparker1429]

Wow this is just so detailed! Love it!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thanks!

[@_Spinsticker]

Thanks!

[@doloresm7396]

Very talented! Very cool!

[@amandapacelli2430]

Omg! This is amazing! I do a Christmas village and I am embarrassed of mine now. I have been wanting to do a Halloween village but I am not fond of the whole zombie overdone monster look I like the old school nostalgic look just as you have captured. This is exactly the look I will try to achieve. What did you use for the grass and how did you get it to mound? It really makes the village look realistic.

[@_Spinsticker]

Thank you. I was trying to create a place I’d like to visit on Halloween. Spooky and realistic. The grass mounds are artificial.

[@amandapacelli2430]

Daniel, thanks for responding! Is the grass static grass. Or a grass mat? How did you create the mounding effect?

[@_Spinsticker]

Amanda Pacelli The grass cover is an artificial moss mats used for floral designs and fairy gardens. They are naturally mounded. I used Autumn colored paints ato “Fall” them up a little more. I also cut them to fit the carved foam stairways and paths.

[@amandapacelli2430]

Thank you! ;)

[@sherryyoung9162]

This is amazing. I love all the mansions. I'm trying to get a hold of Mordecai myself. I love the platforms and the creation of the streets. Incredible.

[@_Spinsticker]

Sherry Young Thanks!

[@magiccheeseball]

This is awesome how did you make the streets and sidewalks?

[@WeepingSlender]

What is the music you have for that ? I love it .

[@jillt1071]

Outstanding

[@lauravalentine9488]

Wow, this is really amazing. My poor effort pales in comparison.

[@stevemiller1345]

Awesome display. This is perfection! Where did you get the moon

[@_Spinsticker]

Hi Tom… it was purchased several years ago from a science toy store. I haven’t seen the same one again but there are some close to it on Amazon.

[@stevemiller1345]

@@_Spinsticker thank you for responding. Is it like a flat back or spherical

[@_Spinsticker]

@@stevemiller1345 It’s a half moon disk. Sort of the shape of a glass paperweight if that makes sense to you. Flat on the backside and curved rounded on the front.

[@darlenec2500]

Amazing!🤩🎃💀👻

[@SamDarnoldShow]

I have my own Halloween village and can attest, it would have been impossible to do it without help from lemax products. They’re great too. Maybe ill figure out how to upload mine soon.

[@1finnigin]

How did u get the glowing moon display?? And the sidewalks and street lamps? I'd really like to make a display like yours. Can u give me some tips. Thx. 😊

[@_Spinsticker]

1finnigin I bought the moon at a science toy store. The street lamps are Lemax Spooky Town. The sidewalks are handmade by me.

[@theresaposey]

so cool

[@douglaswelch1113]

I love the MOON! Where can I get one for my Halloween village? I love all Department 56 Halloween and Christmas Snow villages. My 2 favorite holidays for decorating. I've been collecting Dept 56 since 1994. I even love the Lemax Spooky Wooky villages. They mix well with Dept 56 Halloween.

[@_Spinsticker]

Douglas Welch I bought mine a few years ago at a science toy store.

[@douglaswelch1113]

Thanks Daniel for the info. Happy Halloween! 👻 👽 💀 😱 🕸 🎃

[@1finnigin]

@@_Spinsticker can u tell us what the specific moon product is called? If I can find one I'd like to order it. Thx.

[@_Spinsticker]

1finnigin I no longer have the box for it. If you do a search for a product called ‘Moon in my room’ you can find something very similar.

[@1finnigin]

@@_Spinsticker thanks : ) ordered one of those last night. couldnt find the little street lights tho on ebay. do you know what they are called so i can try to google them? the small wavy greens ones i mean. :D thanks

[@tezzycortez2746]

Where do you buy your bases (platforms)? Great Display

[@_Spinsticker]

Tezzy Cortez Thank you. I make all my display bases

[@ZenEm11]

This is my favorite village I've seen yet! GREAT job OP! I'm using you for inspiration. Any advice on creating the sidewalks? I'm a big fan of the brick look. Also, did you buy your platforms from anywhere or did you make those also? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@_Spinsticker]

Emily Thank you... everything is made out of styrofoam. I make all the platforms, streets and sidewalks.

[@NaztyNate]

Definitely not the biggest...but this is the best one I've ever seen!

[@_Spinsticker]

Nazty Nate Thank you

[@NaztyNate]

@@_Spinsticker Did you make the bases that the houses are sitting on?

[@_Spinsticker]

Nazty Nate Yes... I did make them all.

[@1finnigin]

Ok on my way to building my own display. Can I ask how you made the cobble stone streets and stairs and platform pieces? Was it all made from Styrofoam and if so what kind?

[@_Spinsticker]

It’s all carved from building supply polystyrene insulation foam using a Hot Wire engraver

[@Melanie-lx3bg]

How do you keep all your wires hidden. I’m struggling with that haha!

[@_Spinsticker]

That’s the hardest part. I cut into the foam and use a blunt object to carefully push them into the base. I also add extra ground cover. I also use the buildings to tuck the slack on wires. Hope that helps.

[@mkresowski]

Where did you get the street lights? I looked and was unable to find them. Amazing village!

[@_Spinsticker]

Deplorable Texan they are a Lemax Spooky Town Street Lights. Unfortunately they retired them

[@mkresowski]

Thank you, You have my vote for best halloween village Ive seen.

[@neckisstiff]

I have a question about the street lights with the blue lights, how much were they and what's the brand ? Good job on the display

[@_Spinsticker]

John Stone Thanks. They are made by Lemax and came out around 2006. They actually glow a ghoulish green than blue color. I don’t recall the cost $14.99? at the time but I bought them at Michaels and definitely used coupons lol. I have seen them on eBay a few times. I thought they were awesome so I bought a bunch that year to replace the old town Christmas ones I had been using. Hope that helps.

[@neckisstiff]

@@_Spinsticker oh thanks! Yeah I will shop around. I want something other then traditional white lights. I like your set up too, because it's not cluttered. How did you do the moon? I have the harvest moon from Dept 56 that is white with face embedded.

[@_Spinsticker]

John Stone The moon is from a Science store but you can find something similar called “moon in my room”

[@heidim6468]

Loving the street lights who made these????

[@_Spinsticker]

They are Lemax - Spooky Town

[@davidoleary7190]

What is the house in the back left hand corner under the moon, the tall one, please? Thank you and great job!

Are the red trees also department 56? I love it!

What is your purple light source in the graveyard? And how did you hide it?

Karl Gephart Lemax Purple spot lights. They are still visible but tucked against the fence

[@karlgephart3724]

Daniel Sabino thanks!

[@karlgephart3724]

How did you curve the wrought iron fence in your cemetery?

[@_Spinsticker]

Karl Gephart I just bent it. I like to make things my own and don’t keep the value. I take a lot of figures off bases and things like that.
