Description

A spooky backdrop for film fans

The Studios range was all about making films: with cameras, sets and figures, children could stage movies of their own. The Vampire's Crypt provides the matching horror backdrop for vampire tales, chase scenes and appearances by monster hunters. Four minifigures supply the cast, so something can happen in front of and behind the camera at once. At 171 pieces the set is compact, yet full of details that give a crypt its atmosphere. With a film theme it is fun to take the director's chair yourself and stage the scene with lights and a camera.

Dark tones with a blue accent

Dark grey, black, light grey and a muted sand blue define the colours. It is a fitting mix for a crypt: walls and floors in shades of grey, plus a cool blue that recalls moonlight or cold stone. With 74 different parts among 171 pieces, many shapes rarely repeat. That keeps the build varied and also yields accessories that come in handy for other spooky scenes. The muted tones create a surprisingly moody effect, even without extra lighting or elaborate accessories.

Play it, show it, raid it

As a play set the crypt works straight away, because figures and surroundings belong together. As a display piece it is an example of the unusual themed ranges from around 2002. For tinkerers the set is also a good source of parts: dark grey wall bricks and black elements can serve castles, graveyards, ruins or haunted houses, and the four figures add variety to scenes of your own. Compared with other sets of the time the crypt is unusual, because it takes a horror theme without overdoing the drama.

The parts list on Bricoria

The parts list on this page shows each piece with its colour and quantity and helps with replacing or checking elements. The What can I build? tool shows which other models your bricks allow. Anyone interested in spooky, medieval or fantasy themes will find plenty of useful greys and accessory parts here that mix well with designs of their own. Much of it can later be turned into entirely different buildings without the result looking like the crypt.
