If you have a LEGO Modular Buildings or regular LEGO City buildings setup, it’s a fun pastime to decorate them during the holiday season. For Halloween, you can decorate the houses with pumpkins, spooky ghosts and spider webs, and dress up your minifigs as trick-or-treaters going door to door. Fall colors like yellows, oranges, and browns work well for Thanksgiving, and your minifigs can enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. Then, it’s time for Christmas decorations with lights, red, green, gold and white colors, Christmas trees, snowy roofs… you get the idea.
LEGO has all kinds of decorative elements for the holiday season, like the pieces in the newly released #10267 LEGO Creator Gingerbread House. And there are also LEGO customizers who make specialty pieces for the holidays that make it easy to change the mood of your LEGO city diorama. Today, I wanted to show you some decorative window options by one of my favorite customers, EclipseGRAFX.
EclipseGRAFX makes four custom designed windows for Halloween. They are printed in full color on official LEGO clear 4×6 windowpane pieces. Designs include two zombie minifigs, a couple of ghosts, spider webs with spider, and caution tape. You have a choice of having the designs on plain windowpanes, or with an added printed on frame (by the way, the framed windows are also available as a regular piece without the spookiness). You can purchase the Halloween windowpanes individually ($4 each), or as a 4-pack ($12). Please note that you will need to attach these windowpanes to standard 4×6 window frames (which you probably already have plenty if you have a city layout). You can get the Halloween windows at EclipseGRAFX.com.
The Christmas windows are also available either as a 4-pack or individually. They include Santa with a Merry Christmas sign (would be perfect as a shop window), holly, Christmas lights, and falling snow. I really like that all the decorations are mimicking actual LEGO pieces, so they perfectly blend in with LEGO buildings. You can get the Halloween windows at EclipseGRAFX.com.
While you visit the EclipseGRAFX website, check out their other printed LEGO pieces as well. They have a huge selection of all kinds of unique and interesting designs that you never knew existed.

I remember seeing these but then I forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder. I could use some of these for sure.
I WANT THE GHOSTS!!!!!
AND THE ZOMBIES!!!
The modulars mostly have big windows made up of smaller windows, but they are usually still 4×6. So don’t forget that you may need window frames!
Some of the window panes, like on the Brick Bank and the Palace Cinema, could just be swapped out as they already used the right frames. In the other Modulars, there is a mix of pre-made windows and built windows. Most of them can be changed easily with a little rebuilding and adding in a frame if you want to make every house haunted. 😈
I assume it’s this part they’ve used for Printing.

Yes, that’s the one. 🙂
Does the print rub off from the windows easily? Or is it permanent?
The print is excellent quality and very durable. Unless you heavily starch them up on purpose, they should last with no problems.
Some German historical flags, there, I see. I wonder whether they are of interest to War scene builders, or which niche they’re aiming at.
WWI and WWII MOCs are very popular in the AFOL community. I don’t write about them much because our audience is different, but yeah, there are customizers like BrickArms and BrickMania who are making a living releasing minifig size modern weaponry, tanks, etc. If you go to any LEGO convention in the US, half of the customizer will be showcasing their World War items and minifigs (the other half is Star Wars). 😀
I want some of these! Especially the ghost and zombie ones. The Christmas ones are not bad either. Might get one of each pack and then get more of the ones I like the most.
wow! I need those!
Hi friends!
