There have been many renditions of spooky pumpkins in minifigure scale, so as a side project, I thought I'd seek them out!

Living Dead Dolloween 2025, Part 2: Spider Bite
At first, this doll was nowhere on my list for anything ever.
Warning: Lots of creepy spider imagery.

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 7: The Rest from Minifigures, and LEGO VIDIYO
Time for a bit of a double feature here. One LEGO batch of monsters interrupted the Minifigures line again in such a way there were just too few Minifigures entries after the interruption to make another post just for them! We're still outlining things chronologically, but we're doing Minifigures, jumping out of Minifigures for a bit, and then briefly jumping back in!

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 5: Scooby-Doo
Not too long after Monster Fighters, LEGO was back with another spooky theme, just a less real one! As anybody who knows Scooby-Doo knows, the franchise deals primarily with a gang of teenagers and their dog investigating supernatural events that turn out to be hoaxes perpetrated by criminals in monster disguises, though the franchise has gone into actual supernatural territory quite often as the decades have gone on. LEGO's theme arrived in 2015 and is based predominantly on the original 1960s Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? series, though, where it's all elaborate hoaxes and all of the monsters are thus depicted as humans in costume. Buncha frustrated theater kids, if you ask me. Sign the crooks up for community plays and I'm sure there'd be no more incidents.

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 4: More Monsters from Minifigures Series
Another small batch of Minifigures cropped up between Monster Fighters and the next big crop of horror figures, so let's take a quick look!

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 3: Monster Fighters
2012's Monster Fighters was LEGO's first and only supernatural horror theme based on the classic horror monster archetypes. Studios was artifice, all being produced on sets for movies, though could be played as real if desired, while the supernatural Hidden Side theme afterward is fully ghost/possession-centric and closer tonally to Ghostbusters than traditional or Halloweeny horror. Scooby-Doo, the thematically and temporally closest successor to Monster Fighters, is all about monster hoaxes.

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 2: Monsters from Early Minifigures Series
After the original Castle and Studios monsters from the "pre-modern" LEGO eras, the Minifigures theme served as the next major repository for horror minifigure designs, and started delivering right at the very beginning! The Minifigures line gave us the first horror designs in LEGO's current minifigure art style which stabilized around the late 2000s-2010s and hasn't really changed since, though it's arguable early series still look a bit different facially from minifigures of today. The Minifigures line also gave us our first iterative designs repeating and reimagining monster archetypes we'd already seen. Let's take a look.

A LEGO Horror Chronicle, Part 1: Introduction to LEGO Monsters
Halloween season has begun, and this year, it's all about LEGO!
I've tried to figure it out before, but my love for the horror genre must be somewhat innate. I was always deeply enthralled by witches, adored Halloween, and monsters of any kind were my bread and butter. One of the bigger indicators for my belatedly-acknowledged passion came in the form of my LEGO hobby, and my singular focus therein on monster minifigures.
