Anyone have any good recommendations for OSE/Labyrinth Lord/BX-related adventure modules which don't have the usual suspects (oh look, more evil humanoids)? Bonus points if they focus on undead or fey.
OSR Good OSE/LL/BX-Related Adventures without Evil Humanoids?

Alas, most of ours feature nasty humanoids at some point but this one, DriveThruRPG,
Has Ghouls as the bad guys for the first third?
Or these two are both mega-dungeons with all sorts in them:

Tomb of Horrors.
It's mostly traps and there's a lich somewhere

B4 The Lost City by Tom Moldvay is generally considered a good classic one. It has a few secondary humanoids (some hobgoblin bodyguards of one NPC and a few humanoid wandering monster entries) but the adventure focuses on lost degenerate normal humans for the most part including some of their undead.
B6 the Veiled Society by David Cook is similar, two throwaway introductory encounters feature humanoids but I believe the main action is all humans with political faction intrigue.
I have not run or played either but I have seen many people reference them as great classic B/X modules.

Barrowmaze is a Labyrinth Lord hevily undead focused megadungeon.
No kobolds, a few references to goblins and half-orcs but no encounters with goblins, hobgoblins, or orcs. Lizardmen show up on one of the wandering monster lists and there are a bunch of lizardmen barrows, though no live set encounters.
There are some mongrelmen and frogling humanoids, but the main focus is on undead and cultists.

My Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier stuff is humanoid free and has generally received good reviews from a variety of people.

It's generally quite good - factions and dungeon exploration. It does want you to create a whole buried city after the intro adventure... which I consider a plus, but could be daunting. I'd call it the last-gasp of pro-creativity TSR.
Not especially good. It's main gimmick was cut and fold buildings, which don't come with the PDF, but otherwise it's a very pushy railroad sort of thing. Neat setting and basic concepts as well as some decent set pieces but overall poorly implemented.

Matt Finch's Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom and Demonspore don't have conventional evil humanoids. A few types of mushroom-people and frog-people.

I highly recommend The Frozen Temple of Glacier Peak. It's not perfect, but with very little work it turned into some very fun gaming sessions for me.
