The Halloween Haunted House event continues with Part 2! It’s time to check out some of the other fine businesses in Grimsley Village.
The first stop is the Black Cat Emporium, where you’ll find unique, strange, and sometimes ghoulish items. If you want to stay the night, you can always get a room at the Buzzard Bed & Breakfast, and should something unfortunate occur, Cadaver & Digger Undertakers will take care of everything.
Before you leave, be sure to stop at the town square where you can say hello to the mayor.
BLACK CAT EMPORIUM
Click here for the supply list at AlphaStamps
You can tell by the name and the décor that the owner is very fond of black cats.
The shop proprietor is Mr. Grimsley. As you might guess, the town was founded by his ancestors.
In the shop window, you can see a beautiful crystal ball and a bowl of very rare dragon tears.
Look, they have a one-of-a-kind All-Seeing Eye. I have no idea what’s in that bell jar, and I’m not sure I want to know.
BUZZARD BED & BREAKFAST
The Buzzard Bed & Breakfast doesn’t get many customers; the last was a couple of honeymooners who came and never left. You can see the bride's ghost in the front window.
I bet she was a lovely bride, but now, not so much.
For a spookier look, add spider webs.
CADAVER & DIGGER UNDERTAKERS
I see Mr. Cadaver is directing one of his zombie minions. There are rumors in the town that Cadaver and Digger are digging up more than they are burying. I suspect they are the ones supplying Ghoul and Sons Chemists with the skeletons.
You don’t suppose that this is where the Retching Toad Eatery's food comes from??? The place looks a bit torturous.
Yes, there is really an embalming solution named “Frigid.” I guess when you deal with the dead, you have to have a sense of humor.
GRIMSLEY VILLAGE SQUARE
The main square is in the heart of the village. The residents are proud of its lovely 13th-hour clock. Looks like it's a full moon tonight.
There’s the mayor waiting to greet newcomers.
And look, the Halloween Carnival is coming, and you can buy your tickets at the clock tower.
Looks like the evening edition of the Grimsley Village Herald is out, and tonight’s headline is “Halloween Carnival Comes To Town – October 1”. There are some other interesting articles too; “Thrifty Witch to Expand,” “Unhappy Customer Sues Grizelda’s House of Beauty,” and “Strange Noises Heard at Night at the Dying to Get in Cemetery.”
Things are never dull in Grimsely Village!
NEW COLLAGE SHEETS & DIGITAL IMAGE SETS
There is a collage sheet for each of the 4 village pieces covered in PART 2, plus a spooky windows collage sheet like the one in Part 1 and a collage sheet with blank signs and plaques. For each of the collage sheets, there is a corresponding digital image set that contains all of the images in the collage sheets and more.
For those who purchase PDF collage sheets, you might find this older video tutorial of mine that covers how to re-size PDF formatted collage sheets and how to cut and paste individual images from the collage sheets (which is great for only printing the images you want, and printing multiple version of the image) and how to re-size individual images, helpful.
This set includes 23 images. All of the images from the Black Cat Emporium collage sheet are included in this set, plus a gargoyle pediment.
This set includes 28 images. All of the images from the Buzzard Bed & Breakfast collage sheet are included in this set, plus an additional 4 images; a pair of shutters, a door, a large version of the clock face, and a large version of the coffin clock.
This set includes 30 images. All of the images from the Cadaver and Digger Undertakers are included in this set, plus an additional 7 images; a stack of crates, a cauldron, a guillotine, 3 tombstones, and a skull.
This set includes 22 images. All of the images from the Grimsley Collage Sheet are included in this set, plus an additional 7 images; 13th-hour clock, moon, skull streetlight, black skull, blank newspaper, stone arch, and a blank street sign.

If you are new to the event, you will want to watch the Part 1 videos first before watching part two. I reference several things covered in the Part 1 video, so if you haven't seen them, they might not make sense.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy! I've been waiting all week to see the second half of the village and I can't decide what I like the most. I've already ordered my chipboard houses and I'm waiting for them to come in so I can get started if I can ever figure out exactly what to do. So many choices, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have been waiting for Part 2!! And, you do not disappoint. It's hard to pick a favorite, but the bed & breakfast is really neat. Hey, I never did receive a collage sheet from Part 1 for "spreading the word". Did you not receive my email??
ReplyDeleteOh Laura - I just can't believe how fantastic this project is! Every time I look at the photos or watch the videos I see another detail or trinket that I didn't catch the other times. I was so excited for part two and it is just terrific. I can't wait for my chipboard houses and other goodies to get to me so I can start in on the fun. Thanks so much for sharing and all your hard work on this project.
