jpressley, thanks for sharing, great village. I collect the Lemax Spooky Village (usually get them st Michaels' craft store). The only dept 56 piece that I have is the movie theatre. I saw it, and had to have it, because the only thing I love more than Halloween is film!! Happy Haunting!

WOW! I love the Village!! I am drooling with envy lol!! I have the same Haunted House (the one that flashes/storms) I also have a house that has a wheel in the inside that turns and has ghosts and witches on it-it rotates and when you look at it it looks like there are ghosts and witches flying through it-really cool! Ive had it about 5 years -I think its discontinued now. I also have a skeleton walking a dog, and a few trick-or-treaters and some trees but I would love some more!

Yep thats it! The Haunted Mansion....I wonder what its going for on Ebay? I paid about $120.00 I think about 6 yrs. ago. Then the next year they discontinued it I think. Let me do some research on ebay....BRB...
WOW!! I saw a buy now one for $900.00!! Yikes-there were other ones that had 4-5 days left and they were over $200.00! Some had listings with green roofs, some with black. Anyone know the difference? Also, my rotating screen is clear with ghosts/witches-in one pic it was orange with the ghosts/witches. I wonder if thats a replacement??? I love that house-its my favorite :)

It sold 110.00 and was Introduced May, 1998
• Retired May, 2000. the colors changed due to customer feedback, same for the wheel inside.
Grimsley Manor was Introduced in 1999, and has had some color changes. I think on its first year it did not play sound. Go to dept.56.com to search other products.
