History of Disney's Haunted Mansion

Greetings,

Many of you know I am a HUGE fan of Disney's Haunted Mansion. As a kid I had a copy of the Haunted mansion LP, but my Mom - in an attempt to rid our house of all EVIL LPs - threw it out (my poor sisters lost A LOT of LPs...Led Zeppelin, Bad Company...and so many more). It was a phase in my life where celebrating Halloween was OK just as long as you had nothing evil or dark associated with it...uh...OK..

Whenever I go to Disneyland the Haunted Mansion MUST be one of my first stops and I always feel the need to ride it at least a dozen or so times.

Here's a brief history of Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, complete with scenes from the attraction, early concept drawings, and interviews with the creators.





Happy haunting,

Mark Harvey
