Sssshhhh! I'm working on devleloping it into a concept suggestion to send into
TLG, I DO NOT WORK for them though.(hence the question :-?). I would hate to
have anyone steal my ideas, or for me to steal anyone elses without crediting!.
Is anyone else working on Haunted Houses at the moment?
(I know of JMG (URL?) ,Cragio lego and the HLDC)
Also Read My Posting (Farlie-A in DearLego and follow ups by myself.)

Agreed, But the traps have to be in context with the house. i.e the roatting
bookcase and dodgy stairs. Have to have secret rooms!
Chopping off heads! isn't that against Lego policy? ( which I will be happy to
debate at a later time.)

Again , Bodily harm is probably against lego policy. Although the do have the
Ninja Range..... I personally think haunted houses can be haunted without
Norman Bates e.g the Haunted House at Alton Towers.
As to Poltergiest's these may be too extreme.

My ideas were sort of more Phantom Manor than Slasher film.
Spooky and mysterious but now scary, violent or frightning.
Please don't take this as a crticism your ideas are nice.
Remember that I was trying to devlop this into a possible concept to send to
TLG,(Let the 'futility' comments commence.)
I posted here as the style issues wern't specifcally Lego(R) related!
