I think I want to start collecting a Halloween Village and I need suggestions...?
What are companies doing Village Collectible Halloween? I saw Spooky Town Halloween Snow Village by Department 56 collectibles and Hawthorne, is it more?
Are these different villages around the same scale so you can take a few pieces of each collection?
Are there any good sites for ideas for presentation?
Lemax Spooky Town, Department 56 and Hawthorne are greatest. Wal-Mart carries a Christmas village, Target is also good, but do not know which manufacturer (probably Lemax).
The villages are near the same scale, but probably not exactly. Personally, I avoid Lemax simply because of all the noise (and yes, I know that you can activate the audio). I know that among the villages that D56 Christmas snow village is on a scale larger than the other villages.
I used parts of my Lemax NBC Hawthorne set, especially paved roads, trees, streetlights, etc. without any problem of scale.
As for websites, I suggest that research bulletin boards or chat rooms or looking at pictures of other screens. Most of what I could find were easily Hawking DVD and video cassettes of yourself.
I know that Hallmark stores also carry a village of Halloween. So does Target, although they did not look very good (although I like other Target's Halloween decorations).
I do village of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Sleepy Hollow not the movie) and I'm using a combination of Spooky Town pieces, like the headless horseman, and the pieces that I myself am doing.I bought a house of paper mache and a small wooden house from a craft store and I am painting and decorating them.
