In-depth reviews of Halloween Haunted Dollhouse Kits

Let’s take a much deeper plunge right now in these haunted house kits!

Halloween Haunted House Kit Number 1: DonnaK Riggs’ Haunted House DIY


DonnaK Riggs owns a very small Etsy store, where she is selling this haunted house DIY kit and a book on how to build a graveyard (ain’t that spooky 🙂 ?).

This DIY mini kit consists of a 24” x 37” poster and all of the pieces are printed on quality stock paper (so this is a paper kit). You need to glue it on sturdier cardboard or foam board. (I would think using balsa wood could be nice as well)

It includes a full-color instructions booklet with over 60 photos and 16 basic pieces.

Brand
Donna K Rigs
Scale
Not sure which scale this is: The finished house is 20” x 26”,
and sets on a 9” x 20” base.
Pro’s
– one of a kind miniature kit
– this is handmade and of her own design
– You don’t need many materials for this kit, just glue
Contra’s
– It is hard to give a good star review as she had few sales
– As it is a paper kit, this might not last for a very long time
or be sturdy enough for you
– I would contact the seller to find out how she cut
the foam board exactly to the same size as the paper,
maybe she used a cricut machine?
Our Ratings
4/5
Hours to Make
As there are 16 pieces, I would think about 12 hours
would be more than sufficient.


Halloween Haunted House Kit Number 2: Kiki’s Magic Emporium


This miniature kit is from our familiar brand called Robotime, aka Rolife.

The “Magic Emporium” DIY dollhouse kit is rather new and not many people have built it yet, but enough for a review 😉

Brand
Robotime
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– As this is a well-known brand and I have used it
Several times before, I know this is a good quality
brand
– non-toxic and safe materials
– The proportion of finished parts is increased
compared to the previous kits, making the assembly
process simpler
– very suitable for beginners
Contra’s
– you may have to supply your own glue and/or
batteries
– sometimes manuals are not in English, use Google
translate app if that is the case or contact Robotime
Our Ratings
5/5
Hours to
Make
from experience, I know that these can take some time
so I would think about 24 hours.


Halloween Haunted House Kit Number 3: Addams Family Haunted House Puzzle


This one is more like a 3D puzzle than an actual kit, but the principle stays the same. (no no, not actual “puzzle” pieces, it’s just called that way)

The Halloween haunted house kit was laser cut, contains 140 pieces and needs glue to stay assembled.

You can leave it like it is (I really think that some laser-cut DIY kits have “character”), but of course, you can paint and decorate them for Halloween.

It is made from a 3mm MDF wood board and is approximately 11.5″ X 10″ X 11.5″ H, top of tower when it is assembled.


Brand
CKS artistry
Scale
I can’t find the scale, but I would assume it is
on a scale of 1:24, as most of these 3d puzzles are
Pro’s
– The kit is open at the back, so you can place
miniature furniture
– lasercut=quite sturdy
– handmade
– terrific design
– returns and exchanges accepted
– VERY affordable
– fast shipping
– great customer service
Contra’s
– Doesn’t include detailed instructions, just a
picture and a PDF file
Our Ratings
5/5
Hours to Make
I’m really not sure, but I estimate about 10 hours max
(without painting or decoration)


Haunted House Kit Number 4: The Magic House Book Nook.


Robotime/Rolife has come up with a few new magic and haunted-related DIY miniature kits lately, this book nook shelf insert is one of them.

Book nooks are something quite peculiar and lovely and it has been a trend for some time, so Robotime had to step up their production haha! This is the result of one of them.

The measurements are : 12.2 x 9.06 x 1.81 inches.


Brand
Robotime aka Rolife
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– As mentioned before, Robotime is a well-know
and reliable brand

– well-illustrated instructions
– pretty design (in my opinion)

– Batteries not included
– glue is not included
– the included paint and brush aren’t good quality
Our Ratings
4,5/5
Hours to Make
about 6 hours



Haunted House Kit Number 5: Haunted House from My Miniature Room Box


Another very small DIY kit, on a scale of 1:144, but I did want to mention it, as it’s extremely cute ;-).

This is a flat-packed kit, and the basics are from wooden materials ( 2mm MDF)

It has three floors and a flat roof and it sits on a fenced base and includes lots of miniatures, like gravestones and ghosts, a pre-made tree, colored sand, foam, and flock for ground cover and bushes.

The picture below is an assembled and painted house, to give you an idea of a finished project.

The assembled house measures approximately 57 wide x 73mm tall x 73mm front to back.


Brand
My Miniature Roombox
Scale
1: 144
Pro’s
– This kit is very detailed
– comes with amazing instructions
– fast shipping
– the seller is a 5-star seller on Etsy, which means
that it has great customer service

I can’t find or estimate how long this would take sorry


Halloween Haunted House Kit Number 6: Miniature Joy DIY Book Nook Kit


Here we have another Halloween-themed book nook kit, this time from a brand called “Miniature Joy”. Which I think is not an actual brand, but a retailer for miniature DIY kits.

This particular book nook represents a Diagon Alley.


Brand

Scale
1:24

for miniature DIY kits here
– the kit seems to make your hands black
– the pieces have messy edges

  1. Oh wow! These look absolutely wonderful! I’ve never seen anything like this before and what a great thing for children of all ages to get involved in, possibly with the help of adults depending on what kit they purchased but how great to be able to create something like this for Halloween.

    Having the option of different materials is a benefit too. Some may be a bit too flimsy to make but I absolutely adore the haunted house! I wish I’d known about these kits when my children were young as they would have loved to have enjoyed building such empires.

      Oh yes indeed, I often say this when I see wonderful things on Etsy: I wish that I had seen this before, when I was younger or the kids were young, we would have some great fun together!

  2. Many thanks for this valuable and detailed post about Best Halloween Haunted House Kits. I really like Halloween too. But I have never made these. This time for Helloween, I will definitely make a meme. Will this be difficult for me as I have never done it before? Keep posting like this. I definitely share this.

  3. Hi Lizzy

    These are amazing and I love the way you describe every little detail. Great Job!!!

    I’ve been looking for Dracula’s castle because I’m a huge Bella Lugosi fan. There will never be a Dracula like Bella. I love all the original monster actors. Anyways, do you know of any place that would have Dracula’s castle?

    Thank you,
    Gwen
