A Look at Dickens' Village All Hallows Eve

VillageObsession.com has a nice pictorial of a display they've constructed for "All Hallows Eve". If you click on the picture or link you will see several other views of this beautiful halloween layout.

All Hallows' Eve is a special collection from the Dickens Village series. "Hallows' Eve" is the night before All Saints Day (Halloween), when the spirits and ghosts of the past would walk among the living. The tradition of wearing ghosts and costumes was to scare away the demons and ghosts which were walking the earth.

Buildings are in this series are very Victorian-gothic.

Had trouble finding a complete history list of all the pieces from this subset. What I did find however are the following:

- Jack O the Lantern
-All Saints Church
-Theatre Of The Macabre
-Barleycorn Manor
-Horse Drawn Hearse
-Begging For Soul Cakes
-Masquerading On All Hallows Eve
-Mordecai Mould Undertaker
-The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Anyone who might know of any other pieces from the collection, please comment below.

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things.
