Black Sabbath heaven and hell tour doors ozzy osbourne

Doors of Heavy Metal Legends

2025 ushers in a few NEW updates to some old scenes.

The castle being one of our largest (height wise) undertakings so far. At approximately 3 stories high this imposing facade has a very special door way. Do any of you recognize it? Back in 1980 those very doors and arch appeared on stage touring with Black Sabbath on their Heaven and Hell tour. Ronnies James Dio had replaced the late great Ozzy Osbourne (Dec 3, 1948 - July 22, 2025) as the lead vocalist the year before and this was to be his first live show. Also from the same show are 2 large 6ft tall gargoyles that we have in our graveyard scene, see if you can spot them, look out for their glowing red eyes.
