Hey guys… Michael Webkinz here, reporting for Webkinz Newz. I am excited to show you more concept drawings for the Haunted Castle theme! I have 3 to show today, but I’ll be posting the final three next Saturday, August 19th.
Here’s a look at the windows, featuring thick velvet curtains (and cobwebs of course), that look out to a night sky. Lightning flashes will make this item particularly spooky:
I love this next one… it’s a haunted throne! Clicking on this item will cause a ghostly queen to appear, sitting on the throne. She look harmless but I wouldn’t try to disturb her…
It seems like this queen has quite the presence in the haunted castle. Here’s a portrait of her that you can hang on your pet’s wall… I wonder if something will happen if you click on it… hmmmm… we’ll just have to wait and see!
Our new Halloween room theme will be available at the W-Shop (for KinzCash), starting October 1st. If you have any feedback or name suggestions for any of these items, please feel free to leave your ideas in the comment section below.

QUEEN can be a FOREST SPIRIT !! Outside with trees around her throne ;).
I think dark blue curtains would match the colour scheme better.
For the window, I mean.
Would it not be neat to have a ghost pet. I love this new theme. Not to crazy about the picture but love the window. Can not wait to see the bed.
There is a PET BUDDIE you can get at the E-STORE that is a GHOST ! It is cute .
Remember to add one of the graves behind her hair so Ghost floats ;).
…looks great!
Love the window, it’s awesome. Will this theme include a bed? I’m really hoping it does.
I am also hoping beyond hope that they have a bed for this theme!
Ooh, me likey!
Really loving this theme! Even better than I expected! Great work designers! WOW :):):):):)
Love all of these new items, especially that window. I like the curtains and the balcony outside. But I do wish there were just a few less spider webs on the window. Glad to see the other two pieces don’t have any spider webs on them. That ghostly queen is so cool and I can’t wait to see what happens with her portrait. A frayed and decrepit tapestry might be a cool addition or what about a music box that plays something haunting or a beautiful golden harp that plays by itself. Really see lots of potential here, especially with a ghostly queen. Very Exciting!
When this is in a room and is smaller the webs will show up less .
Will you have to retire a theme? Can you give us a heads up if you are, because I have a few rooms I would like to make later with some older room themes
You asked for input on naming the items… I love it when you use the same first word when naming the items in a room theme, such as Bloomin’ theme, Hotel theme, Countryside Christmas (except for the Snow Covered Lamp). It makes it so much easier to find the items in the dock, and helps up to remember which items are in the same theme. What the items does or doesn’t do is more important that a cutesy name, which often complicates things. Please consider adopting this as a policy.
I agree with you Serena100 regarding using the same first word on all items in a theme for ease finding same theme items in our docks. I have suggested that very thing several times, but so far Ganz/Webkinz aren’t listening. I have several themes currently in my dock that I want to make into rooms. I can’t ever find the same theme items to make those rooms and am always interrupted by requests while trying to go through my dock. Most of the themes I’m referring to are no longer available so I can’t even look them up in the WShop to find the names of items in the same theme.
I totally agree with Serena100; having the first word the same for all the items in any theme should be a policy.
You are exactly right, Serena. Well said!
I agree
I’m very late to the party here, but you guys are all right on. A search box feature for our docks would solve a lot of frustration for many players. My overstuffed dock drives me crazy.
