LEGO® Haunted House ‘Manor von Barron’ is the spookiest Haunted House theme park ride in the LEGO® Creator Expert Fairground Collection. Ideal ONLY for those who aren’t afraid of things that go bump in the night, it’s packed with playful features, stolen relics… and a very ancient curse. Build if you dare! Samuel von Barron Manor von Barron was once the home of Samuel von Barron, one of the world’s greatest villains. He travelled the globe in search of ancient artefacts to steal for his own private collection. But, after snatching the Re-Gou Ruby from the tomb of Pharaoh Hotep, Von Barron met his fate – and the Pharaoh cursed Manor von Barron for a thousand generations! Though Samuel may be gone, the von Barron curse still haunts the house to this very day. The Portrait of Samuel von Barron A portrait, at first glance, but also the source of the Manor von Barron curse! Von Barron commissioned the portrait shortly after securing his greatest possession: the Re-Gou Ruby. But, as the portrait was finished, a strange glow started emanating from the ruby – trapping von Barron within the mummy’s curse, doomed to listen to Pharaoh Hotep’s terrible jokes until he was slowly driven mad. The portrait still glows mysteriously today, generations later. The Resonator Having stolen the Re-Gou Ruby from Pharaoh Hotep’s tomb, Samuel von Barron built The Resonator in an attempt to harness the ruby’s legendary power for his own evil empire. Alas, the device failed – and, instead, von Barron accidentally summoned two spirits from beyond. They can often be heard today, still drifting around the Haunted House. The Organ of Catarino One of the only items within the Manor that WASN’T stolen from an ancient site or burial tomb, The Organ of Catarino was custom-built in Portugal, at von Barron’s instruction. Intended to scare off unwelcome visitors with its haunting overtones, rumour has it he mostly used it to play TV-show theme songs. The Madman’s Elevator After being driven mad by Pharaoh Hotep’s terrible jokes, von Barron began the construction of the elevator. Having lost his mind with the mummy’s curse, von Barron ordered that the elevator would lead… to nowhere. When asked about the elevator, he would simply reply “It has its ups and downs”, before exploding into fits of manic laughter.

Notes

• This is the first Creator set with the 18+ age rating.
• This set features multiple callbacks to previous sets:
  • Baron Von Barron is the namesake of the Manor Von Barron and appears as a portrait in this set. Baron was the main antagonist of the Adventurers theme.
  • Two Anubis-Statues from 5988 Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins appear above the organ.
  • The head of the Sphinx from 5978 Sphinx Secret Surprise appears as a decoration on the wall of the elevator shaft. An obelisk similar to the one featured in the same set also appears.
    • The hieroglyphs on the Obelisk spell Ogel.
  • The crest in front of the manor is a reference to Fright Knights with it including Roman numerals which refer to 6007 Bat Lord.
  • A Mind Control Orb from Alpha Team and Junkbot can be found in the attic as well as a part of 7412 Yeti's Hideout.
  • Below that part a recolored version of the shrine from 7417 Temple of Mount Everest can be found.
  • Pharaoh Hotep is printed onto a clear brick which allows him to "haunt" the portrait of Baron Von Baron.
  • A skeleton resembling Slyboots hangs from the ceiling.
  • Next to the ticket stand, a few Blacktron Future Generation computer tiles are hanging from the wall.
• The setting of a drop tower ride set in the home of an explorer is very similar to Tokyo DisneySea's Tower of Terror with that drop tower being set in a hotel owned by an explorer who collected relics under shady circumstances.
• Even though it's called ''House'', it's mostly a museum, rather than an actual house. It has no bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, or any living quarters.

Lore notes in instruction manual

The instruction manual for this set includes lore notes describing the story background for certain objects in this set. Many of these objects are references to previous Adventurers theme sets, as well as references to the Alpha Team theme and the Junkbot online game. Below are all the lore notes included in the manual:

• The Idol of Everest - Snatched from an Everest mountain temple, it is said the tendrils reach out into the unknown. It also makes a great coat rack.
• The Obelisk of Evil - Von Barron stole this obelisk because it had the most evil inscription he had ever seen.
• The Organ of Catarino - Von Barron had this organ custom built in Portugal. He mostly used it to play TV show theme songs.
• The Heads of Anubis - Air-lifted out of the Temple of Anubis, supposedly they are "just for decoration, that's it and that's all."
• The Face of Sphinx - The very first Egyptian item that the Baron stole, the entire manor was built around it.
• The Escape Plan - Von Barron lined the Face of Sphinx with dynamite, just in case any curses came along with it.
• The Golden Dingus - As Von Barron reached out for the Golden Dingus, the Yeti suddenly appeared and ate his left hand! Luckily, he already had a hook for a left hand, so he simply replaced it with another.
• The Orb of OGEL - A prototype for the mind-control superweapon used by the Evil OGEL Empire. Von Barron always kept one handy "for a rainy day."
• The Box of Junk - A heavy, dusty box of junk. A faded sticker reads "I Love Trash".
• The Altar of Alhazred - It is unknown for what dark rites this heavy-looking stone table was originally intended. The Baron used it for light reading on rainy days.
• The Forbidden Skeleton - Some say Sam Sinister's car exploded while running from the law, leaving only his skeleton and top hat behind. Some say there was once a third twin butler. No one knows for sure.
• The Portrait of Samuel von Barron - As the portrait was finished, a strange glow started emanating from the ruby. Trapped in the Mummy's curse, von Barron was driven mad by Pharaoh Hotep's terrible jokes.
• The Resonator - In a failed attempt to harness the power of the Re-Gou Ruby with this device, von Barron accidentally summoned two friendly spirits from beyond.
• The Madman's Elevator - "How's my elevator to nowhere? It has its ups and downs. aaaHAHAHAaaaHA!" -The Mad Baron
