After countless Halloween seasons in the LEGO hobby, I’ve seen pumpkins of every size, shape, and variety. So I certainly take notice when a new bit of “gourd-making tech” hits the scene. Fellow SortLUG member Deborah Higdon has nailed an excellent pumpkin shape in her seasonal mosaic, utilizing curved tiles to create the lobes of the fall fruit. A pair of spooky creatures and some winding vines add to the 3-D elements of the creation. All that’s left is to wish you all a happy Halloween from The Brothers Brick!

The respected Dr. Henry Jekyll and his monstrous alter ego Mr. Edward Hyde roam the streets in this slick and sinister build by Kamil Karpińsky. The titular characters from Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story turned Halloween icons are a study in contrast: Jekyll is dressed to the nines in a bowtie, waistcoat, top hat, and long coat, with a gentleman’s cane as an affectation. Mr. Hyde, on the other hand, makes good use of Gothmog’s head from 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur for a fearsome, demonic visage. His enlarged shoulders strain at the remnants of Jekyll’s coat, while his feet have split his trousers open, exposing his impressive brick-built musculature. The rest of the build is fairly minimalist, but we can see the infamous potion spilling onto the street. The post There’s no Hyde-ing the good and evil here appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Spooky, ooky, with the most eloquent of moans, Lurch is more than a butler in the Addams household – he’s family. mc tung celebrates Halloween with a lumbering LEGO tribute to lovable Lurch. The builder plays with the Frankenstein association with Lurch’s ears jutting out like the Monster’s bolts. Why is Lurch crying? Maybe he misses Wednesday now that she’s sharing a room with Enid at Nevermore Academy. At least Thing is here to walk Lurch home to the microscale Addams house .

Crank up the Mystery Machine, the LEGO Scooby Gang – made by Magmafrost13 – are back in action! Daphne is looking chic as ever with her scarf made from a fern and don’t miss the little eyebrow detail Magma gave her. The gang is always trying to get a grip on whatever monster-of-the-week is running around, so they have hands made from little sticks! Finally I’ll draw your attention to the unique nose the builder gave each character. I think they match each character perfectly, and will certainly help Mystery Inc. sniff out some mayhem!
