When Halloween rolls around, I can’t help but think of Disney’s Haunted Mansion. Of course, if you actually visit Disneyland this time of year, you’ll be treated to The Nightmare Before Christmas version, which is great, but still not the classic we’ve all come to love. So, since no one can enjoy the traditional version of this great attraction in person, we may as well enjoy it through art. While a few famous artists, like Shag, have been commissioned by Disney to create artwork ...
Sir Alistair Crump, later known as the Hatbox Ghost, is the main antagonist of the 2023 film Haunted Mansion. He was portrayed by Jared Leto. He is an evil spirit that haunts the mansion that was purchased by Gabbie, terrorizing her and her son Travis when they moved in. This would lead to Gabbie hiring Father Kent, Ben Matthias, Harriet, and Bruce Davis to rid the mansion of it's restless spirits. Alistair was the son of an overbearing wealthy socialite Addison Crump and his wife. He and his fa
"Magic from the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland" (1970) is a fun little 60-page book presenting basic table-magic and card tricks for kids. The tricks are okay, but the real treat of this book is the cartoonish depictions of the Haunted Mansion and its denizens. Four royal spectres are made to materialize in this card trick, "Rescue of the Queens". In this rendering of Madame Leota, she looks very similar to Sleeping Beauty's evil sorceress Maleficent (both characters were voiced by Eleanor Audley). The graveyard's decapitated knight is used to illustrate another card trick, "A Found Head". The skeleton, whose arm is seen laying the brick and mortar of its own crypt in the Mansion's graveyard, is demonstrating a coin trick. You won't need a coffin to perform "A Coffin Escape"...just a coin and envelope. Here's the mysterious hat-box ghost, whose cult popularity with those in-the-know ranks him as the Boba Fett of the Haunted Mansion. "The Crying Griffin", another coin trick, is illustrated by the leering demonic candelabra from the stretching room. In this next illustration, a Disney executive explains the impending ticket-price hikes at the Disney parks. A ballroom ghost, and a business card from "Elias P. Etherial". One of the stretching portraits. This green ghoul looks like he could be related to the attic ghosts that pop-up out of the bric-a-brac. A happy mummy pops out to ask "How old am i?" The graveyard's masked executioner looks a little underdressed for Disneyland. The cadaver dangling from the rafters of the stretching room...she lost her life, but looks like she kept her hat. To my knowledge, there isn't a vampire depicted in any version of the Haunted Mansion attraction, but here's one performing a handkerchief trick. Another stretching portrait, this time for "The Miracle Rope Splice." The graveyard opera singers show you how its done in a section on throwing your voice.

Welcome to Disney's Haunted Mansion, where Grim Grinning Ghosts came out to socialize for two parties this week. The inspiration for our ghostly event came from this picture which we have had for quite a few years now. We purchased it at Disney World a few years ago, signed by Larry Dotson, 2008. I happened to have this hearse that I got at Home Goods a few years ago, which looks so much like the one in the print. Then I got on Amazon and found table runners with the pattern of the Haunted Mansion, and the tables all came together. Hubby and I were Maleficent and Diavol for both parties. This one was for a smaller party of ten, for friends. This one was for the family and we seated 26. I got new purple chargers from Amazon and used my white plates and gold flatware. For the smaller group I was able to use these twig ones. For the larger group I used my everyday gold flatware, as I have more of those. A neighbor had gifted me 40 of these huge purple water goblets, as she knows I love tablescaping and purple. Her MIL had these and had never used them. They were perfect for the large crowd and I didn't even mind using them on the kid's table as we had a few to spare. Of course, Madam Leota had to be present for the Haunted Mansion. And large candelabras are required at the Haunted Mansion. I also purchased the Haunted Mansion music on Itunes and we had that playing as background music. It features the entire soundtrack from the Disney ride. For the family party we asked everyone to make a Disneyland dish, so from left to right we have Bengal BBQ's spicy beef skewers, Carnation Cafe's potato soup, and Ronto Wraps from Star Wars. A Disney inspired Halloween Macaron topped with Green Apple Pop Rocks and raspberry sauce and filled with black (cherry flavored) ice cream - wow! We also had a huge assortment of wonderful Haunted Mickey cookies. For the friend party we did fondues. We had pizza fondue and cheese fondue for the main dish and chocolate and caramel fondues for dessert. So pack your bags and come along on our Haunted Mansion ride, but beware of hitchhiking ghosts! Thanks for joining our scary ride and, "Hurry back, hurry back!" I will be posting with Tablescapes Thursday Love Your Creativity
