Horror/Spooky Themes

[Kit Figsto]

Sort of exciting on this front, right now on Lego.com, there's a VIP promo for a Pirates accessory pack with purchases over $50.  If you go onto the offers page with details, it says to be on the lookout for the next one, a Halloween(!!) themed accessory pack coming soon!  

I would assume this might be starting October 1st, but I'm not sure.  Anyway, I'm curious what this might include.  I'd guess some of the new-ish pumpkin and jack-o-lantern pieces, probably some spiders, maybe a buildable tombstone and a skeleton?

Oh you mean Sppoky Add-On? I don’t know if it has some exciting parts in it, nothing new. 

But I’m quite curious about what kind of pieces it may include too.

As I mentioned about Halloween-themed line earlier. It’s more similar to Winter Village collection. 

What if TLG would do a new line, called “Autumanl Town” / “Halloween Town” / “Spooky Villae” whatever we call it. 

I will share some ideas with you folks!

1.) The Wolf Cabin- A cabin with two trees. Some printed pieces with scratch marks, representing that werewolf was unleashing its rage during transormation. Two human hinders stumble upon this and witness werewolf there. Bad timing!

2.) Halloween House- A house with front yard decorated in Halloween stuff. Like a lit-up jack-o-lantern on top of the tombstone (light brown hidden) and a fabric hung from a tree mimic “flying ghost” . Three trick-or-treaters visiting the house and adult gives out candies. But the adult doesn’t realize that one of these kids is actually a monster. 

3.) Masquerade Ball- A manor that hosts a speical ball! Partygoers wear masks. In the ballroom there is an old grandfather clock with a raven on top of it. Suddenly, there is a mysterious figure showing in the dark corner. I was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s story. 

 

These are just examples I have to share with you what the new line TLG does for Winter Village. Iwould love to see it one day but  we ill see.

Spooky VIP Add-On is now available.

I've been thinking about the last wave of Nexo Knights where Monstrox awakened a race of ancient vampires from suspended animation/hibernation and turned them into cyborg CyberByters. 

I know it won't happen, but imagine a castle theme set in the past where more traditional knights were going up against that Vampire race.

Thinking of Adventurers and Monster Fighters, I think if Lego were to rip off the character line up from this video game, it'd make a pretty fun theme

That's modern TLG in one sentence. Any semblance of originality has long died away, now the only things that remain are overpriced licensed themes.

The villains in the 2023 Ninjago Core sets are horror themed

I guess that depends how you define horror. They look like just another iteration of fairly standard Ninjago skeleton warriors to me, rather than horror.

I mean, everyone calls Monster Fighters a horror theme, but it's Lego so the monsters were all cutesy. Even the Lego Demogorgon didn't look scary because Lego doesn't do actual horror. Monster High dolls are more horror themed than any Lego product, even Lego's rotting flesh ice zombies in the last wave of Chima

I would like a zombie apocalypse theme with mad max style vehicles even if it became a ninjago wave.

They kinda did that already, though. See the "Hunted" subtheme, with sets like the Dieselnaut. Also, fully half the LEGO Movie 2 was Mad max inspired. see Welcome to Apocalypseburg! for the D2C of that theme. No zombies, but still Mad max.

I would like to see an in-house theme somedays. Or at least another Halloween-themed CM series, just like Series 15 in 2015. 

I missed on Monster Fighters theme, sadly. But I managed to get a few sets from Hidden Side - a spooky graveyard set from last year. I love that set! Maybe Lego should do a supernatural theme that blues agents, similiar to the animated TV sow, Martin Mystery several years ago. Agents preventing any monsers from doing something evil while the public is unaware. 

And here is my idea for Halloween-themed CMF Series:

1.) Two-Head Man

2.) Grim Reaper 

3.) Vampire Lord (wiht an updated bat)

4.) Zombie Football / Soccer Player (with a printed torn socccer ball)

5.) Haunteed Statue 

6.) She-Werewolf

7.)  Warlock 

8.) Angel Costume Girl (counterpart to Cute Little Devil)

9.) Ghost Train Conductor 

10.) Zombie Viking

11.) Monster Hunter (a nod to Monster Fighter theme)

12.) Headless Horseman (with a black foal? Lol)

13.) Ghost Bellboy

14.) Ghost Costume Boy

15.) Alien Costume Guy

16.) Slime Monster

[Lion King]

I think Lego should do a horror theme that revolts around heroes surviving a battle against zombies. A villian would be Undead Wizard. The evil wizard had been discovered and emtombed a medieval king. Unknown to the king, the wizard put himself under the “sleeping” spell. But it costed his soul, which in result, he became a zombie. After several centuries, his slumber had been disturbed by archaeologists. The Undead Wizard escaped the tomb and found himself in our present-day world . He decided to raise the dead army and conquer the world. The Unead Wizard could summon pharaohs and soldiers from Egypt, knights from Europe, samurai and ninja from Japan, blue oats and pirates from Caribbean from thier graves.

You don't know what gender they identify as  😜

It's presenting as female. Yeah, Vidiyo.

Also Lego are releasing this in 19 days 

Also just remembered her

 

[Lion King]

@Killian, right but if that Werewolf is from CMF. S15, he is the werewolf verison of Lumberjack from the older CMF series. Therefore, they have same shirt, same pants (except for Lumberjack’s hat not included in S15). Unless I’m wrong that this werewolf is not from S15?

That Slime Monster could work but the prints doesn’t work well for “nomral” horror theme. Vidiyo is more colorful and fun. I prefer a slime head without glasses.

The wolf in the picture is from the Red Riding Hood Ideas set, dressed up as Granny.

I don't think the wolf in the story is ever referred to as female, but you could definitely use the fig as a she-wolf.

Ah I see!  I don’t recall seeing this Ideas set but yeah we could use this figure as a she-wolf or a wolf in Granny’s dress in our own imaginations. 

@Killian - THAT Z-Blob’s slime head is what I need.

I would love to see a new subtheme under Icons that is similiar to Winter Village but instead of festive, snow-cloaked sets…

How about Spooky Village?!

[Doddsino]

As far as other horror themes minifigures, maybe tributes to these haunting personalities;

Phantom of the Opera

Invisible Man

Hunchback of Notre Dame

Metaluna Mutant

Cryptkeeper 

Evil Ventriloquist 

Headless Horseman (not Scooby Doo)

Elvira

The Undertaker 

Vincent Price

So far for 2023, there's 40608: Halloween Fun VIP Add-On Pack that showed up recently.

It's different from the 2021 Spooky version.
