Fall is in there air.  A time where a young man's fancy turns to trains!  I always enjoy the Holiday layouts where there are train and crap running everywhere on the layout.  Sorry, but not all of us enjoy watching the "realistic" videos where the train sets on the track puffing steam and waiting for the tracks to clear.  I like the fun ones....for those of us who like a little action.  As yet, I haven't found any Halloween layouts on the forum.  Even YOUTUBE is letting me down.  Jeff

I thought everyone knew that.  Same reason you don't see lots of Valentine's day layouts.

Apparently I didn't get the memo...

 

More of a diorama than a "layout".  Either way with Dept. 56 and Lemax offering so many Halloween village items and plenty of Halloween trains out there I don't see why anyone would be surprised by the idea of a Halloween Layout.

Look at how fast the MTH Halloween locomotive sold out.  Within 24 hours.  Over the past 15 years or so, Halloween has really transitioned from being a one-night kids-only holiday to an entire October holiday for people of all ages.  Halloween strings of orange and purple and pumpkin lights didn't even exist 15 years ago.  Now, they are everywhere.  And as the other poster said, Dept 56 and Lemax Halloween villages have become huge.

 

I think what it comes down to is that people like any excuse for a party and to decorate and to just escape reality for a bit.  It used to be only Christmas but now it's Halloween.  I was once not into Halloween at all but I am beginning to embrace it.  It's fun and gets me primed for the primetime Christmas train season.

Good grief Charlie Brown!

Maybe someone should have asked if anyone had seen any "Nightmare before Christmas" layouts on the forum.
