Finally got around to comparing my pieces with those listed, looks like 22 is the magic number!!  At least that's all I had.  But there was at least one other accessory set released!!

1.    It's alive!
2.    Dracula Rises!
3.    Mummy's Curse
4.    Black lagoon
5.    Beware the Full Moon
6.    Frankenstein's town Mob
7.    Bride of Frankenstein
8.    Phantom of the Opera
9.    Invisible Man
10.  Grave Robbers
11.  Uncovering Artifacts
12.  Dracula's Vampires

and; 13.  Searching for the Creature


For monetary reasons I had to drop my Hawthorne Village subscription (earlier this year) so I'm not sure if any other village/accessory sets have been released since!?
I had to drop my subscription also after being laid off of work.   :( >:(
Long live the UMA!

Oh man that's so awesome, hit I'm new here, nice to meet all of you :D My name is EvilDeadFan, and I love the Universal monsters! Well back to the pictures, yeah, I just got the burning windmill in today, so cool, however with the mummy's tomb, I never got the figure D: gotta call them, and do you need to order the village gate separately? Thanks in advance! :D
It's pronounced Fronk-on-steen!

I actually just got a thing in the mail from The Bradford Exchange for the Universal Studios Monsters Halloween Village Accessory Sets!  Nothing new just some of the ones you see in my previous pictures; Creature from the Black Lagoon, Beware the Full Moon, Frankenstein's Town Mob, Phantom of the Opera and Searching for the Creature.  Not sure if these are the only sets left but it says it is the "FINAL OPPORTUNITY to obtain these must-have accessories"!?

What's "Searching for the Creature"?

I wouldn't mind getting one of the tiny Creature acc. 3 piece figure sets.  Do you have to buy the whole mess of them, or can you just get the Creature ones?

Didn't care for the that "Village" Creature thing and I don't know what the UMs have to do with trains.

What happened to the Hawthorne "Universal Monster Matinee" pieces? I don't even know if those came out? I never see them on ebay.

Searching for the Creature is the set pictured above with the 3 researchers/archeologists, table and the fossilized claw in the rock!  Here is the other Creature accessory set, which I believe was just called "Black Lagoon"~



Yep, the Monster Matinee would have been an awesome piece, I signed up around 3 times for it before finally getting the letter that it was canceled!



I'm not really sure what they had to do with trains but I had to have them all the same and I actually think they turned out pretty cool!  As far as I know this was it for the train selection:

I too would like to buy those Creature sets - how can you resist a Captain Lukas figure?  How do you order just those?

Wow! That matinee set actually does look really awesome! Shame it was cancelled.

Out of curiosity, what does the total set cost? Like $1500+?

Dang, why'd you have to go and ask that question!!  Adding it up the village itself comes to $1760 (22 [buildings] x $80.00 [includes $10 s/h]), the accessory sets come to $546 (13 [separate collections] x $42 [includes $6.99 s/h]) for a grand (Actually a couple grand!) total of $2306!!  Wow now I know why they only send one every couple of months....you really don't think about the total cost!

I don't know if this will help but the item #'s for the sets are; 14-00138-004 (the set that includes Captain Lucas) and 14-00138-013 (the fossilized Creature hand set).  I don't have the actual order form, it went out with the recycle this am.  Neither of these numbers comes up in a search on Bradford, but maybe calling them could make it so you could order these individually!?

Perfect thanks! They are $35 each plus shipping, but since they tend to top out at $50 to $60 on eBay, I figured what the heck. Thanks again!
