Ghost Train Papercraft

Halloween Locomotive Paper Model
You may have heard of a ghost ship, but how about a ghost train? This phantom locomotive paper model comes from the spooky imagination of Ray O'Bannon at the Ravensblight website. Ray's backstory for the train is that it appears sometimes at midnight in a certain field where a railroad track once ran in days gone by. As with all the papercraft at Ravensblight, this makes a great Halloween decoration!

Little House on the Prairie Paper Models

The Little House on the Prairie television series aired from 1974 to 1983. The show was set in the late 1800's in the town of Walnut Grove, Minnesota. These delightful little models by PaperPrairie depict various Walnut Grove buildings as they appeared in the show. All the models are super simple, just the thing for those who are beginners at building paper models. Pictured in the photos are the Ingall's house, the Oleson's Mercantile, the Blind School building, the post office, and the Hanson Lumber Company building. Besides buildings, there various props like horse carts, ground textures, and backdrops. In all, there are currently 30 different printables available. Is that a Little House Christmas village I see on the horizon? ;)

Disney Hitchhiking Ghosts Illusion

Near the end of the trip through Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction, the "narrator" of the ride warns to "Beware of hitchhiking ghosts!" Shortly after the warning, three ghosts appear; their thumbs out as if to catch a lift. These illusion paper toys of the hitchhiking trio were released as a Halloween treat by the Disney Parks Blog in 2011. Still available nine years later, the printable templates for the toys may be downloaded here. The optical illusion these toys use makes it appear as if their heads and eyes move to follow you wherever you go.
