I would definately go for official zombie heads... hordes of undead are good... skeleton hordes, while useful, need a little "flesh" in them.

Well, the first three already exist, so I went with zombie. It would be the most versatile, imo. The mutants listed in the poll would probably be done with molded heads and they are so hard to use for anything else. Yup, zombies...

Another vote for zombies here. They'd also serve for an evil wizard's undead army.

I'd probably buy any of them. Personally I think something like these could be done:

Egyptian Pack: pharoah, mummy, priest, peasant, god?

Voodoo Pack: Death, 2 zombies, fortune teller and ?

Transylvania Pack: vampire, Van Helsing, peasant, female vampire, victim

Etc.

Holiday minifig packs might be nice too:

Christmas: Santa, Snowman, Child with sled, Reindeer, Angel

Halloween: assorted monsters

Thanksgiving: Indians and Pilgrims

4th of July: George Washington, American Revolutionary, Red-coat, Ben Franklin/Paul Revere?

Easter: might be tough...

I think this is a good idea. As to the Easter figs you could go both of two ways. First for an Easter bunny use that part from the nes-quick bunny fig and include pastel 1x1 round plates for "eggs," etc. AND you could go the religious route with a fig set of perhaps Jesus, apostles, the Marys (etc) and ROMAN figs! This might be pushing it for TLG as far as religious outlook goes (put look playmobil does it just fine!)

So back onto the halloween figs, I think it might go over better if there were other holidays (hmm, maybe not just American holidays though, then you'd have to start with other countries too...)

Yes, and for Kwanzaa, they would have children minifigs reading a book called "what is Kwanzaa" :lol: For Chunaka they could have a candle and a smal butane lighter for minifigs to hold Then they could have birthday figs with birthday hats and a cake

Having a 4th of July pack would be kinda Americacentric though :? And Thanksgiving too for that matter... (and I could almost say Halloween since all traditionalists over here hate it and most people don´t even know when it is... I would like a Halloween pack though :))

Zombies would always be nice to "flesh" out the undead as ottoatm said :P But no vampires, the fleshies are perfect for them already..

I'd thought about that, then remembered they sell/advertise the American flag set in July, the Jack-o-lantern in October and the Turkey set in November.

I'd love to see some real zombies. Skeletons hordes always look like they're missing something.(No pun intended)

That and they would make great non-moving corpses. 8)
