As dusk gathers over the strange and wild country, a Traveler sits at a crossroads waiting for his carriage to arrive. He ponders the mysterious letter he received some weeks before, inviting him to visit the legendary castle. Still wondering what entranced him to accept the unexpected invitation, he hears the steady beat of horse hooves approaching and spies the eerie green glow of lanterns and the dark silhouette of an ornate carriage emerge from the mist. Gliding toward him, the carriage creaks to a halt in front of him, and the Driver silently beckons him to board. The door swings open and the Vampire appears to greet her guest and eagerly escorts him inside. As the carriage slowly rolls forward once more and black bats swoop in wide circles around it, the vampire begins to cackle, and a feeling of terrible foreboding builds in the traveler's chest…

The traveler is not the first guest to journey in the Vampire Carriage, and he is unlikely to be the last!

Vampire Carriage sets the stage for a fun and spooky adventure! Featuring an ornate gothic carriage, a crossroads sign post, and three iconic Minifigures, the build is well suited for both display and play, either as a standalone set or as a complement to your favorite haunted house, eerie castle, or dark tower.

The Carriage

The carriage features a unique play function: as you pull the carriage forward, the rear wheels drive a gear mechanism that propels a pair of bats to fly in a wide circle overhead.
The carriage also features a removable roof and swing-open doors for easy access to place seated Minifigures inside on the red benches.
The four lanterns at the sides of the carriage contain glow-in-the-dark lamps to provide an eerie mood when the lights are off.

The Crossroads

The side-build features a crossroads sign with two stickers, one pointing toward the train station and the other toward the castle. Beside the sign is a bench where the traveler can sit and wait for the carriage to arrive.

The Minifigures

The Traveler sports a scarf, suitcase, and envelope containing his invitation. He has two facial expressions appropriate to the endeavor: nervous and terrified!
The Vampire wears an elegant black dress with a ruffled collar, and she has two vampiric facial expressions. Her skirt piece can be replaced with an alternative build for seated placement in the carriage.
The Driver has a top hat, moustache, and riding whip – and a rather unnatural skin hue…
