Spooky Town Collector

Our 2007 trophies have arrived. There was some pretty tough competition in the Lemax Spooky Town 2006 display contest. Will you be ready for 2007? We have upped the anty just a little to make things interesting. We will be working on our Spooky Town display all year long.

We want to experiment with some more Woodland Scenic materials to achieve photorealistic photos of our display. Follow along with us as we build out 2007 display. Check the blog and our Spooky Town Collectors' Lair for more tutorials.

I can't think of a better way to spend the upcoming winter season!

Phil has some great tutorials. If you haven't seen Phil's Spooky Town village, check it out. It may give your some inspiration for the 2007 contest. Our new trophies are here and we will be posting the photos soon.

Congratulations again Phil on doing a spooktacular job on your village!

If you didn't get to enter this year, you can always start planning for next year. We start building in April. Check out new Lemax Spooky Town Collectors' Lair for tips on building your Spooky Town village. We will be adding more tips and tutorials as we build our display. If you have a tutorial you would like to share, please let us know and we will post it in the Lair.

If there is a tutorial you would like to see, let us know. We love hearing for our customers because we love Lemax Spooky Town as much as you do!

We'll this is going to be a really tough process. There are so many
great Spooky Town villages out there. What is most rewarding about this
process is learning how much people really love their Spooky Towns. We
have Golden Ghoul members from all over the county and they all speak
fondly of their Spooky Towns.

It is really nice when Spooky Town collecting becomes a family project.
There are a number of members and customers who enjoy this hobby with
their children. We're already planning out 2007 village. I have big
ideas and we are going to really take our time with this one. I will
have to start building in January to make it happen.


I hope that all our members will be inspired to enter our contest again
next year with bigger and better ideas that are drawn from our
community. In the end you are all winners! You have great displays
that I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

You many see duplicate information here on the website. That would be due to building the new Spooky Town Collectors' Lair. We are in the process of moving our tips from the Blog to the Lair.

I know it may be soon, but we are already thinking about ideas for our 2007 Spooky Town Village. We are looking foward to receiving the 2007 catalog which should be here in the late winter.

Congratulations to Kent Ragan who was out latest Golden Ghoul Club winner! Kent won tombstones for his Spooky Town Village.

We have extended our first Annual Spooky Town Collector Contest out to October 7th. We hope that gives all you Golden Ghouls out there more time to creep out your village. There is some tough competition!

We at spookytowncollector.com realize that everyone has demanding schedules and may not put their Spooky Town out as early as some of us other Golden Ghouls. We have decide to extend the contest deadline one week. The final date for entries will be October 7th, 2006: midnight. The winner will be announced on Friday, October 13th!

Is the 13th lucky for you?

We hope so!
