Welcome to the Broken Bell Telephone Co.
If you’ve ever wondered how the dearly departed stay in touch, the Broken Bell Telephone Co. Lemax is your answer. This chilling communication hub joins the 2024 Spooky Town collection as a clever nod to spectral switchboards and haunted hotlines. Whether ghosts are placing prank calls or the dead are dialing back in, this building delivers a twisted sense of humor and eerie ambiance to your Halloween village.
Design Details & Features
The exterior is full of spooky visual gags and retro charm. Tilted phone poles, broken wires, and “Call Collect from the Crypt” signage set the tone. The building’s faded brick walls, shattered bell logo, and glowing green windows allude to ghostly interference within. Ectoplasmic cables spill from the roof, and a crooked antenna juts skyward. Pair it with Mortuary Makeovers or Terror Tavern to build out a spectral services district in your village.
Lighting & Power Options
This piece includes Lemax LED internal lighting and comes with an adaptor—no batteries needed. An on/off switch controls the glow, which filters through the ghost-green windows and across the cracked walls for a flickering, haunted effect. It’s low heat, energy-efficient, and ideal for multi-hour display setups.
Placement & Display Ideas
Broken Bell Telephone Co. fits well into an industrial corner of your Spooky Town scene or beside government and service-style buildings. Display tips include:
- Use black wire bundles or string to simulate tangled ghost wires outside the building
- Place a Lemax telephone pole figurine nearby for thematic flair
- Add ghost figurines “on hold” or creeping out of the walls for fun storytelling

As of publish date, this building retails for $43.95 to $58.99. You can find it on Amazon, eBay, and collector sites. Its humorous concept and uncommon theme—tech for the undead—make it a standout in any display. Save the box and foam insert for safe storage
