Welcome back to BrickNerd Quick Builds! Next in our LEGO instructions series for Halloween is this adorable kid in a ghost costume going door to door for candy! Who is under there, we simply don’t know, but hey, it’s Halloween so we all can trick or treat.
Read MoreYes, Halloween is finally here. Time to decorate the house (if you haven't already), put on Monster Mash, put the heaps of candy in a bowl and wait for all the parents all over town to drop their kids in your neighborhood (at least that's what they do here). I can only hope I get some trick-or-treaters tonight that look as good as this lot by Takamichi Irie. I better go get more candy...
Halloween is just over a week away, and things are getting pretty spooky. Scary decorations are going up, graveyards are popping up all over the neighborhood and kids (and, let's face it, adults) and putting final touches on their costumes. Like these two intrepid candy seekers by nobu_tary. So what are you going as this Halloween?
