Super Badass Geek Stuff: Movie Villages

Posted October 30 by Travis in Badass Geek Stuff

We’ve all likely seen, or at least heard of the Department 56 collectibles. You know, the quaint little holiday villages that collectors can build over time, customizing their own perfect little towns. They start with little houses and stores and various Main Street type buildings, then add trees and little people of all kinds to make an intricate Christmas town to display proudly on… well, where ever they can fit them? Honestly, I’ve never known anyone personally who’s collected these things, but I see the vast array of selections and accessories in stores every holiday season.

No need to worry, my fellow movie geeks… these aren’t cute little “girlie” decorations. The Village of Horror Classics from Hawthorne Village is sure to make your Sunday guests stare in fear at your collectible town of haunted houses and serial killers. The House on Elm Street, Crystal Lake Cabin… just the beginning! Once you have your terrifying town built you can start adding its ruthless residents. Who needs milk men, postal carriers and grocery clerks when you can have Jason, Freddy and Leatherface to populate your special holiday townscape? And the houses even light up! Ooh! Navy Seals!

Less frightening but just as friggin’ cool… Hawthorne Village also has other Movie Geek friendly “build-your-own” towns including a Universal Monsters themed town populated with all your favorite classic monsters; and also a ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ themed town which is certain to empty a lot of pocketbooks. I really liked the film, but good grief… it’s been crazy-culty popular like ‘Rocky Horror’ from day one, and there’s no sign of it letting up! These towns aren’t cheap, but who ever said Movie Geeks were concerned with getting “bargains” on their Badass Geek Stuff?
