My favorite MOC ever! Tragic that you disassembled the castle! Sell pics and the castle-buy more Lego!

Love this Build Hans! The smoke is an excellent touch. The (Thats what she said) joke made me LMFBO!!! Hahaha!

Great build! That isn't dry ice, is it?

The tree rules!

The smokey pictures are fantastic!

Hey I just started a group with an Epic style in mind come and check it out I sent you an invite "Epic Build Illustrators" http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/14632

I love the shape of the castle. Did someone give you a hand with your tree? (Sorry I know really bad) Like the use of the mime faces on the vamp!

Dam you Hans and your genius! I've been looking for a cheap smoke machine to use in some photography of some of my off-roaders (figured it'd be cool, what with working headlights and all). Oh well - great minds think alike. Well, maybe not great. Maybe twisted. Off. Oblique? Anywho, this is certainly a masterpiece - wonderful job all around!

lol

lolz the horror! it's an abomination! "ooh eeh eeh eeh"

How did I miss this? Beautiful work on the castle and, as others have said, the tree. Very original design. I was just waiting to see the monkey smokin a bong with the vampire at the end:)

Beautiful work Hans!

LMFAO excellent castle buddy!!! It's a good thing that you took care of the bong joke, because it was seriously coming your way! Beautiful build my friend! And the tree might have been a pain, but it totally adds to the overall creepiness of the build.

Great mansion, and nice use of the white-head options given by series 2 :)

Nicely done - certainly appropriately creepy. Lee.

I'm sorry I didn't catch this one sooner. Great work, Hans. The black castle looks terrific, and I like the design. Of course, the effects were a great touch as well. Now if we could just get Lego to make some parts that will give us a nice creepy looking dead tree.

lol!,we all have smoking machines in permanence,the family crest,the timing of red eyes,and faces expressions,the tree,pic angles,and mostly used as punch,your cameo appearance,tops it as one of the funniest,moc i ve seen to date!,thanks for your comments by the way! good show!

Hans, this castle is simply wonderful! Between the shape of the castle, the smoke and the quality of your pictures this MOC felt like it was straight out of the movie. The tree may have been a pain but it was worth it. I tip my hat to you once again!

Great presentation! The smoke really adds to the mood. The castle is great too!

real smoke??

totally epic. the castle looks great! and the smoke really added to the effect.

Haha, awesome. :)

Mate this should be the Dem Bones contest winner, this is everything I have ever done in terms of evil black castles when I was younger and more. Perfect mate! I absoluetly love this one and the presentation is unbelievable. 10/5

Excellent work Hans. Had you entered the Dem Bones Halloween contest, this would have won I think. Ta.

Great work!Nice effects... 5/5

I feel for the vamp host, some hippy squatter and his pot monkey doing a home invasion. And what a home! Lovely details like the tree and the crest and very nice construction all round. I refuse to build all-black right now, so well done to you. I can't wait for your other long-term build either. Great job!

That is a kick arse castle! I think this is the first time I've seen someone use a fog machine. Awesome idea!

Nice mood with the mist and dark castle Hans. Black is tough to photograph, yet you have still shown some really nice styling, detail, and yes, crazy monkified action. Great stuff.

Wow this is awsome, I was hoping to do a mostly black MOC soon. This takes the cake and eats it! I love the shape you made for the wall. ~Thoy

Hans this is stunning!!! Absolutely gorgeous. I love that photo of Vamp on the stairs looking up just as he spots Sig Hansi and Bong Monkey, because those black tiles look like actual slate! It has a wonderful creepy yet somehow inviting feel to it.

Nice work Hans, I really like the look of the castle! My favourite detail is probably the Vampire's family crest.

Excellent blackness, nicely done.

As promised IĀ“m back and IĀ“m still loving it.

great photography. cool lighting. now build SKIPPY the ROBOT. full instructions at www.robotscience.co.za

I like those misty pictures, they make the castle look more mysterious (and bigger :P)

<3 the family crest and the tree

Awesome. the purple reflection on the twelfth photo is pretty cool. I like the fog effects.

I knew from the first pic that was no ordinary mist! Too thick! Hehe ... Very cool dracula castle! Beautifully photographed!

Looks really nice with the smoke machine effects -- I too have struggled with photographing something all black recently, and I'm feeling your pain. That's all I'm feeling, just for the record.

Spectacular. A fine start to a castle career. I'm with Chris. I wasn't buying the smoke "machine" for a sec.

Spooky, Dude!

The grey smoke really helps with the black to be sure. Excellently done!

You don't drink..... but what a smoker you are ;-)))) !!!! I love your castle !!! and you did a beautiful tree !!! I understand your pain but for a such good result !!!

Finally, someone has found a way to photograph black effectively. Well done, Hans. I especially like the use of the mime heads.

Cool work, it has a creepy feeling!

Congratulations, you just made vampires cool again! Great build, go Ducks!, and Happy Halloween!

Yeah, nice cover with the whole "fog machine" thing. Dude I told you, you gotta put down the bong just long enough to take the pics! HAHAHA Seriously, great work man! I can understand how that tree was such a pain but it came out beautifully! Happy Halloween! ~ Chris.

My guests are arriving soon, but IĀ“ve had to comment this at least with a few words. Awsome is one of them, great another. IĀ“ll come back for more words later (and to see if youĀ“re a heavy smoker). Happy Halloween

I'm equally loving the humor and the build. Great work, and Happy Halloween to you too.
