Last Halloween, we shared instructions for two small builds: a witch on her broomstick, and a grave with a crow. In that article, I wrote that the grave was actually a one-bedroom zombie apartment. And for this year's Halloween edition of our Quick Builds, I feel that I have to reveal the apartment’s owner.

He's a cool guy and goes by the name of Mr. Braaaainss. When I asked, he said only “Braaaainss” but he does look like a Mister to me.

Instructions to Build a Halloween Zombie

I really wanted to build a LEGO zombie with a dislocated jaw and the hinge parts (hinge base + hinge top) were perfect for the task. This is where the build started. Then I had to figure out the eyes, and I came up with the minifig hands inserted into headlight bricks. And because this was the coolest part of the zombie, I left it for you to build last!

When you've built the LEGO zombie, you can bend or wiggle a little bit the "elbows" and "knees" connections to give it a more natural look. Because, as you know, zombies want to look as natural as possible.

Tip: bend a little bit all the bar with clip connection points

And that’s it—his guy is ready for some braaai… I mean candy! Happy Halloween!
