Doyle has taken hundreds of thousands of LEGO pieces and created a fantastic series of [model haunted houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cullen-house). These menacing model homes look like they belong in a Tim Burton movie. These incredible Victorian-style LEGO models are both spooky and detailed. Some of these creepy creations appear to have caved under the weight of heavy snowfall, while others look to be busted in from fallen trees. From crumbling bricks to missing shingles, these decaying homes look extremely realistic. Of all the marvellous [LEGO creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-exhibition) in existence, these gothically Victorian haunted houses are probably the most eerie. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **LEGO Ghost Towns:** There is an opportunity for creating realistic LEGO ghost towns with adjustable components. - **LEGO Horror:** There is an opportunity to create a horror movie using life-size LEGO creations as props. - **LEGO Architecture Replicas:** There is an opportunity to create replicas of buildings in the real world using LEGO, which can be used for various architectural purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore creating highly detailed, customizable LEGO sets that appeal to an adult demographic. - **Film Industry:** The film industry can incorporate LEGO pieces and sets in their props department for a unique look and feel for the film. - **Architecture Industry:** The architecture industry can use LEGO as a tool for simulations and models for real-life buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md) - [Insanely Intricate LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-rollsroyce.md) - [Halloween Series Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightmare-before-christmas-set.md) - [Building Block Tiny Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tiny-house.md) - [Nostalgic Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boos-door.md) - [Festive Brick Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoville-moc.md) - [Block Puzzle Carnival Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1.md) - [Spooky Show-Themed LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-series-wednesday.md)
