Publisher's Synopsis
Expanded 50th Anniversary edition!
Welcome, Foolish Readers!
Chill to the creepy but captivating history of Disney's Haunted Mansion. Come experience the mansion with the "lights on" and learn its ghostly history, its sinister secrets, and its ghoulish special effects. There's room for one more-and this time you're it!
Noted mansion authority Jeff Baham lifts the shroud and tells the stories on Disney's original plans for a "haunted house" attraction, why the mansion is there, who built it, how it became haunted, and the dastardly deeds done by some of its residents in their corruptible, mortal states.
Board your Doom Buggy for:
- Exclusive photos and commentary by Disney Imagineers, including Haunted Mansion "architect" Rolly Crump
- Insider accounts of the creative clashes over whether the mansion's haunts should be humorous or horrific, and the internal workflow behind each mansion rehab or addition
- An analysis of the ride, scene by scene, with insight into how the effects work, delightfully eerie trivia, and anecdotes from Imagineers and cast members
- The stories behind some of the mansion's many denizens, including the Hatbox Ghost, the Knight, the Sea Captain, the Raven, the unhappy couple Constance and George, and the Ghost Host himself
- A discussion of the most notable mansion collectibles released by Disney over the years
