CCCVI Haunted Castle: The Haunted Ballroom

[mrts]

Pfffff!! i finally finished this one. This was a heavy build for me, haha! Construction went very slow but i finally finished it. It still isnt completely the way i wanted it to be, but this will have to do. i've totally had it with this moc. On this moment i could jump on it to destroy it haha!

The Haunted Ballroom

In the lovely castle of King Lion Heart is a ballroom. This room is used by the king to organise feasts. The room looks lovely and is perfect for such events. There is just one problem. The room is haunted! Once a year this room becomes a dangerous place, haunted by the undead. There have been some casualties in the past and the king has decided to lockdown this ballroom on the day it’s haunted.

The reason this ballroom is haunted is that its build on top off a large crypt. Once a year the bodies lying there come back to life. The undead then enter the ballroom through a secret passageway to hold a large feast for themselves.

In this scene the undead feast is in full motion. Skeletons are dancing like crazy. The undead king and queen are dancing on their own dance floor, a dinner table. Ghosts are flying through the room and even some of the furniture has come to life and started to dance!

Two curious children couldn’t resist to peek inside the room. After the boy looked inside the ballroom he ran away in terror.

The little girl now peeks inside and is frozen in place by complete fear….

I saw this over at CC and it's ingenious, like all of the other work I've seen done by you. You managed to get the atmosphere perfect.

oh my god...... that is great. You work is better than the lego imaginires.

[gogobig]

HAHAHA Its awesome. Your detail in this one is fantastic. The design and idea is absolutely great. Props for this one!

[Asuka]

A marvelous work full of splendid details and humor!

The picture of the poor maid who has to clean up the mess is brilliant too.

This is utterly fantastic - I love the dancing skeletons. The crypt is very nice too, I like the idea of the skellies breaking out of their coffins to go party!

My favourite touch was the use of the mace as the pendulum in your lovely grandfather clock,

Does the spiral staircase come out somehow in the fireplace, or is it just a dead end (the crypt seems to be quite a few studs narrower than the ballroom above)

cheers,

I love the Evil/Wizard Tricks MOCs of yours too. A Perfect Life is great as well!

[GC8Monkey]

Fantastic! Too many great details to list. Although I am quite partial to the Grandfather Clock.

[NewRight]

Great haunted entry. I always love castle builds and the way I never seem to finish one.

[mrts]

Hey guys thank you for the replies! I'm glad you all seem too like it!

@timbutnice:

Originally it was the plan to really connect them. But when i build this i decided to make the upperfloor (the actual ballroom) on 2 seperate baseplates instead directly ontop of the crypt. This made building a lot easier, since baseplates on the ground is sturdier (stronger) then a selfmade roof ontop of the crypt. Also it made the moc easier to move around now it comes in 2 parts. So no they are not really connected haha

thx again all!

[Wout]

This is terriffic.

The dancing skeletons are horrifying and funny at the same time. The dancing furniture even more. I like the ghost who flews through the wall also very nice.

I hope the children have a good psychiatrist.

Another really superb creation mrts, The whole MOC really paints a haunted picture nicely. So many great details to look at.

I agree, and the clock with the cub pendulam is clever! In fact, All of it is bloody awsome Best Moc I've seen in a while!!! Great job and I would say good luck but, well..you don't need it

Btw I think you deserve a Moc tag, does any one else agree?

[Duke of Derby-shire]

Holy ____(insert curse word or interjection here.)_____!!!!

I dont know how some of you do it!This is another simply amazing work of art IMO!Looking forward to more of your work in the future!

[mania3]

Oh man, this is great! The details make it both witty and impressive. You did a great job on this.

[AgentRick]

Very cool, reminds me of a scene from Mother 3 where you were going through an old castle and there was a party like this with ghosts and wine and everything.
