You all are ridiculously kind. Thank you so much. I'm happy to be back.

Best comment ever. 🤣

Haha thank you very much

[@1ddlover]

Yay!! I can hear the enthusiasm in your voice about this season! Always look forward to your reviews! Like you mentioned in one of the podcasts - I think this season is going to be awesome for Lemax - it's the 20th anniversary that should have been last year. When you start your reviews, I know it's time to get ready! ha btw, love your tshirt!

[@SpookyVillages]

Thank you Heather, I'm very happy to be back and I'm glad someone commented on the t-shirt! Yes, agreed on the anniversary! The pieces I've gotten ahold of are awesome, and next week's video will be an all-timer building :)

[@jasonmiller8997]

Sad when it ended! But great to have you back again on KZbin. Also very excited you're going back to Cracker Barrel because they've finally opened a location about a 40 minute drive from my home near Los Angeles. All your previous Cracker Barrel videos made me wish we had one here and now we do! My wife and I look forward to our first visit in July. And awesome that you're holding the Lemax pieces in the video now! Provides a much better idea of the size of the building. Thanks Doug! 👻🎃💀

[@SpookyVillages]

Hey Jason I hope you get to go to a Halloween stocked Cracker Barrel this July as I find them to be quite magical. Looking forward to a great season!

Lets goooo! It is finally time! This is one of my must get pieces, I absolutely am going to get it immediately when possible. All of its aspects are amazing, one of the best in a long time. Also, great review as usual, it’s great to see you back at it! Very excited for the next reviews throughout the season! Finally, very excited for next week, the Skull cave quarry is my favorite building from the main line and is my #2 overall so far for this year from the pictures (behind isle of jacks!)!

Hey Bread Guy, thanks a bunch for the comment and for watching. I think you'll really enjoy next week's video :)

I’m so excited for the spooky season!!!! And I’m even more pumped to add this building to my collection. My husband is also a whiskey 🥃 neat man so I think this building will make him smile. We went to Ireland 🇮🇪 for our honeymoon so the soundtrack makes it extra special for me. Looking forward to more videos!!!

If he's a whiskey man I'd think he would adore this one! Thank you Katie!

I have to say that this one wasn't originally on my must buy list, but that soundtrack may have just won me over. I could listen to that all day. Next week is my #1 anticipated for the season...can't wait for your take on it.

[@TheWiisportschamp]

wow it was the opposite for me ... hearing the soundtrack turned me off from buying it

[@SpookyVillages]

I think I am most excited to talk about the building next week. I've never had a piece that does what that one can do. It's also going to be a challenge to film it! Thanks for watching!

Wow! The four animations are very cool. These big multi- animation buildings by Lemax set a high bar, not that there is any competion. This could be a slime factory or a bone cement plant- something non- alcohol for the kiddies. Great review. So glad you are back. We look forward to your videos each week.

Awesome video as always 🎃. It’s great to see you back Doug and things are going well for ya. You mentioned Cracker Barrel and I’d like to take a trip to one. Do you have any idea when they put out their Halloween decor?

Thank you Rick, good to be back. Cracker Barrel traditionally puts their Halloween collection out the first full week after the 4th of July. Not sure if that will be different this year or not, but that's how it always has been

Great review, Doug! And welcome back! I have to say, I am quite impressed with this building and agree with your comments. Glad they got away from the green lighting, slower animations, more "realistic" (not as cartoony) scene, and great soundtrack! Still not quite sure if it will fit with my village and aesthetic, but in general, this is an awesome piece! Looking forward to your upcoming village and candle reviews!

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Doug, it's so good to see you back at your usual gig. I've missed the regular reviews, but understand 2020 sucked. I had no ST mojo since we had no trick-or-treaters, but hope to get it back and you're a great start. I love the distillery, but personally could maybe do without the flying ghosts. I know it goes with the name "Evil Spirits", but the rest of the workers are undead or skeletons, and just think it's a bit too much of a mix. Still might go for it. Thanks!

[@SpookyVillages]

Hey Greg, good to talk to you again on here. I'm back at it, don't worry. Yeah I could perhaps see that. I think that's absolutely why the ghosts were added. I do like how the piece has lights shining backwards on the ghosts!

[@CassidysWorkshop]

Yeah, it looks good overall, and I agree with you, I have enough green lighting in my village. Maybe they'll use it where really appropriate in the future. Thanks for doing the reviews, we all love seeing them.

[@that_chad_guy2]

Really happy this one is quiet! I'm gonna replace my loud ghoulish gourd pub & grill with this. I love the piece but the noise is just overwhelming with the turning pumpkin head.

[@SpookyVillages]

Hey Chad yes this one is quiet so no worries there!

Que lindo... 🎃🎃🎃

[@leewright415]

There are a lot of great looking buildings this year, however this piece is one of my favorites. This year I'm not building my spooky town this year but I'm still going to pick up the pieces and save it until my next build. Regarding the weight, it is similar to the toy factory from 2020?

[@SpookyVillages]

It is similar to the toy factory but a smidge heavier. I was not a fan of that building but I think this one looks and feels much better. It's not so toyish.

[@taylorw.8509]

I don't think I've ever described a spooky town building as gorgeous but this one deserves it 😂. I hope someone post this building with broken skull bar, monster's motorcycle rally, chop shop garage, & flaming skulls. I just love that biker/bar theme! It's sad that those buildings/themes don't stick around long. 🍻🎃

[@SpookyVillages]

haha i thought the description was apt given the nice looking copper and brick facade!

[@starpugsnort]

Hi Doug, I listened to this on my way home in Las Vegas traffic this afternoon, no violent chemicals thrown, today.... I was wondering if I could make a suggestion? Maybe at the end of the season, would you maybe pick a few people, regular non mega stars like Ryan or Landon LOL to do a review of a few pieces? (I volunteer as tribute) It would be cool to have a broad spectrum of people from across the country give their opinions and show their displays for the year, How they integrated the new pieces into their display, Stuff like that. Thanks for the video!! Looking forward to more. SO GLAD my husband convinced me to get this piece!!

[@SpookyVillages]

This is a great idea. I will do something for an end of year wrap up that open it up to a wider array of people!

[@darlenec2500]

Wow I love it! Great review! Thank you. I hope Michaels gets it 🙏

[@chasetaylor0000]

Not sure if you mean to check it out in person before buying it or buying it from Michael’s. But it will prolly be cheaper at an online retailer. So unless you absolutely have to wait for it to arrive in stores, I’d order online.

[@SpookyVillages]

Hey Darlene, as chasetaylor0000 says, you are probably MUCH better buying this online unless you have to see it first. Michaels pricing this year is going to be a jacked up mess most likely. I would also guess that this one will probably not be there due to the size of it.

[@darlenec2500]

Ok thank you. I’m in Canada do you know what stores will ship to Canada?

[@lemaxtothemax5247]

Sadly when I got mine last year after 3 months of waiting it got in in the middle of October and I herd this clicking noise and I thought it was normal but less then a minute later every moving mechanism broke down and then the sounds went out and we never got a refund because of it so that sucks so I’m gonna fix it this year so I can get it out and use it 😭

[@hankthedog2594]

That’s cool I haven’t seen a piece like that at all

[@SpookyVillages]

It was a great concept!

[@calypsoshoard9132]

What is the significance of the "face" on the chimney above the loading dock?

[@The_Sandcrawler]

This isn’t one I’m personally after, but like the ones I do want, I can’t imagine how much they are going to be asking for them. Was also a little surprised at how many larger pieces there seem to be this year that don’t have sound. I typically keep all of my pieces turned down, so not a deal breaker, just surprising.

[@BayPointMovieMakers]

Ehobby, Eerie Emporium, and Gift Spice have prices and preorders now for the new lineup(:

Love your videos and previews! Thank you for doing what you do. One question....I usually do not have the pieces that have soundtracks turned on, other than the lights. Can this piece have the lights/motion on without the sound playing? As soon as it is dark outside, I have these things turned on, so hours of soundtrack in the house gets a bit much.
