Black Cat Crossing was our very first design, and today is still one of our most popular Halloween display platform. It designed for a larger building such as Grimsly Manor, Haunted Mansion or even the Ghoul School, but smaller buildings will work as well. With a center walkway leading up to the front door and a wrap around stone wall, the display offers a classic Halloween look. There is ample space in front and side yard for accessories. 


Features of this display include:

 

  • Along the front of the property, a retaining wall divided in the middle by a staircase. On top of the wall is a perfect location for a fence (fence no included, just a suggestion).
  • A center pathway carved in a cobblestone pattern.
  • On either side of the center pathway, two perfect locations for your accessories. If your accessories have battery packs or plugs, the system we are using allows the wires and battery packs to be located under the display, totally out of view. This keeps the magical appearance of the display intact. If you accessories doesn’t have battery packs, theses areas work just we well for that type of accessories.
  • A second retaining wall starting from both sides of a second staircase, curving around the front of the building, out to the sides, then back.
  • The area for the building is carved in a cobblestone pattern (to match the center pathway). To customize this area for your building, use some of the extra ground cover to cover up the excess cobblestone, leaving a cobblestone outline around the building.
  • Behind the stone wall, on the side yard of the building, additional space for your accessories. If your accessories have battery packs or plugs, the system we are using allows the wires and battery packs to be located under the display, totally out of view. This keeps the magical appearance of the display intact. If you accessories doesn’t have battery packs or plugs, theses areas work just we well for that type of accessories.
  • Between the front wall and the pathway/sidewalk, there are places for 2 lampposts. With our system, the lampposts stay nice and secures. 
  • Extra ground cover is included with the display, as is full instructions.

 

As with all of our Halloween displays:


  • The ground cover is green with seasonal fall colors blended in (reds, orange, yellow, brown, and tan). An extra amount of the ground cover and each accent color is included with the display so you can customize the amount of fall colors that you want on the ground.
  • The pathways, staircases, walls, and area around the building are all hand-carved.
  • One of the best features: The electrical wires for the buildings and accessories run under the display, and out of view.


Please Note: Our displays are shown with Dept 56 and Lemax building and accessories. However buildings and accessories are just for presentation purposes only. No Dept 56 or Lemax items are include with the platforms unless otherwise noted.
