“You’ll be back. This house is dripping with souls, but there’s always room for one more.” 🎩👻 For my second painting in my “Happy Haunts Mini Portraits” series, we have The Hatbox Ghost, or, as some of you may know him from the newer Haunted Mansion movie, Alistair Crump! This painting was so much fun to do! I can’t wait to get started on the next one! This artwork was done with acrylic paints (most of the whole thing is), watercolor brush pens, and ink! This original painting is up for sale for 35 USD! DM for purchase! (This will be available until I come back and put “SOLD” in the caption later on! If you don’t see the word and want this artwork at anytime, just DM me to buy it! (Same with everything I’ve posted so far!) Width: 3 1/2 Inches Height: Nearly 6 Inches My commissions are open, DM for info! ✩︎

Lore Olympus x Haunted Mansion
"Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, (im)mortal state."
I've had this concept in my head for a while, of various Lore Olympus characters as the stretching portraits in the Haunted Mansion. Where did this idea come from? I don't know, but both Lore Olympus and Disney are a huge comfort for me so I'm not surprised it happened.
Should I make this into a whole series? I have a few ideas, and maybe I'll extend it to more than just the portraits, but other Haunted Mansion characters too

Welcome, Foolish Mortals
To be completely fair, that was likely exactly what you expected. But how else is one supposed to open a sideblog dedicated to the Haunted Mansion?
Regardless, welcome, readers. This will serve as a place to catalog my collective thoughts, analyses, writings, and ramblings concerning the Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor, at the Disney parks across the world.
To many of you who may be following me from other places or who have simply stumbled upon this blog in the vast jungles of the internet, the existence of this page likely raises several questions:
It's a ride at Disneyland, what's the big deal?
Shouldn't you grow up and get a Real Job?
You're one of those insufferable Disney adults who spends $60 on a popcorn bucket from Ebay aren't you.
To answer these to some extent, I am firstly doing this because I think it is fun, I do already have a Real Job, and I have never spent $60 on any piece of merch, popcorn bucket or otherwise.
But it did get me thinking. What is it about the Haunted Mansion in particular that has managed to create a fandom this strong over the past 54 years? On the face of it it's not that big of a deal, and it's not exactly highbrow Art or Literature or Cinema. So why do people keep coming back?
The answer lies, I believe, in what the Mansion is in the first place:
A narrative. Due to its nature as a dark ride, there is an opportunity to present the story in the second person: You, the rider, are exploring an old and reportedly haunted mansion. This setup, especially in an age before technology could create an interactive experience, lends itself especially well to a
A commentary. While the Mansion as a whole is meant as entertainment, it is playing with tropes, questions, and archetypes that reflect the human fascination with life and death.
A magic show. The Mansion was built in an era when computers were still the size of living rooms, so very little of the special effects required them. Instead, the designers of the ride used illusions dating back to the Victorian era (and sometimes even older!) to convince the rider the house is actually haunted.
A historic artifact. Given that the building is (as of today, April 9 2023) 54 years old, it has been around for long enough that it funcions as a time capsule of sorts into what a haunted house looked like in 1969, before further developments in the horror genre during the 1970s and 1980s.
The impression it leaves in the minds of those who enter. The ride itself is only about 9 minutes long - not a long time at all. But the details that are left make one wonder - about backstory, about the history of the place both fictional and real - and those details shared between fellow enthusiasts has over time left the Mansion with the feeling that it is truly haunted, in a way.
Each post in this blog will roughly correspond to these categories, more or less depending on the particular topic. We'll be covering a bit of everything here - history, architecture, special effects, literature, and the list will go on. Updates will probably be weekly - I am still working out exactly how to write everything and make sure you all have quality posts in a timely manner, but that is the plan.
I will also say up front that this blog will assume that you already have a cursory knowledge of the Haunted Mansion as a ride. If you need a refresher, there are several "low-light POV" videos on YouTube of the three Haunted Mansions (Anaheim, Orlando, and Tokyo) currently in operation, as well as of Phantom Manor in Paris. I will do a larger post with a more complete secondary source list later and make sure it is tagged and pinned.
Without further ado, welcome, foolish mortals. I do hope these posts are as fun for you to read as they are for me to write.
