With Halloween season upon us, the Haunted Mansion is the perfect attraction to visit, and revisit in this week’s trip to the Archives. Plus, with the announcement of the Haunted Mansion Parlor coming to the Disney Treasure on Disney Cruise Line, it’s like the happy haunts have received your sympathetic vibrations. So this week, we’re going to go back to the very beginnings of how the concept of this legendary and classic attraction came to be, its many stages, stories, players, secrets, troubles, and how it eventually became the Haunted Mansions around the world that we know and love. We’ll explore the evolution of the Haunted Mansion, as well as its myths and legends. And speaking of Legends, as we step into the Mansion’s sinister halls, we’ll uncover the creative minds behind the attraction, such as Ken Anderson, Claude Coates, Mark Davis, and Rolly Crump. Join us as we unravel the fascinating journey of this beloved Disney classic.
