Haunted Mansion Web Sites

On alt.disney.disneyland, Genghis posted a list of Haunted Mansion web sites. In thinking of the great Lobachevsky, I put them up here, and added a few new ones.

Official Sites of the Parks

Disneyland Paris' Official Site includes a sections on their version of the Haunted Mansion -- Phantom Manor. It includes several sound clips, photos, one movie, a descriptive tour and the legend behind the attraction.

Tokyo Disneyland's Official Site includes a small number of photos and facts in both Japanese and English.

Disneyland's Official Site also has a section on the Haunted Mansion, with a fun fact and bogus sound clip.

Disneyworld's Official Site includes one Haunted Mansion photo.

If you take a Virtual Trip to the Magic Kingdom you can see a photo of the haunted mansion at Walt Disney World.

General Mansion Web Sites

Chef Mayhem's Unofficial Tribute to the Haunted Mansion is an excellent site that includes stories, pictures, and sounds. Some of the graphics may take a while to load, but it's worth the wait. Warning, you'll need Real Audio to listen to the sounds.

Kronos' The Unofficial Webpage of the Haunted Mansion includes photographs, stories, articles, patents, and a place for Haunted Mansion fans to chat (Java required).

Jed's Haunted Mansion Page is another excellent tour of the attraction. Stops on the tour include secrets and the story behind the various areas of the Haunted Mansion. He includes a Haunted Mansion trivia game and sounds from Phantom Manor.

Foxx's Haunted Mansion Page includes a virtual tour of the Walt Disney World Mansion, an art gallery, and downloads.

The Disneyland Source includes information and history about Disneyland, its attractions, shows, shops, and restaurants. Most of the audio requires Real Audio's Real Player G2 (Downloading links are included on the site). The Haunted Mansion section includes a full "walk-through".

Donald Laird's Virtual Disneyland Tour includes a section for the Haunted Mansion.

The Unnofficial Haunted Mansion Page is currently under construction, but you'll enjoy the midi background music on this site.

Mike Hathaways's Disneylandian is currently moving, but hopefully the new site will include a Haunted Mansion page with descriptions, ratings, backstage photos, sounds, and a map.

Mr. Whoopee's Disneyland Adventure features a Haunted Mansion page with some photos and other links.

Steven Acevedo's Haunted Mansion site currently includes scripts, photos, and book reviews.

Captain Hook's Disneyland Page includes 999 Happy Haunts Homepage which includes quite a few graphics (if you're on a slow connection, be patient), photos, some real audio sound clips, and a bit of history.

Behind the Scenes of the Haunted Mansion

Don Bertino's Disney Archives includes Don Bertino's famous FAQ, blueprints (Standard Operating Procedures manual coming June 15) and some icons, hand drawn maps, and midi files.

Andrew "Lt. D'Aamato" Rich's Project Insomnia includes a section of Standard Operating Procedures manuals including one for the Haunted Mansion.

Legends of the Haunted Mansion

Snopes' Urban Legends Page has two references to the Haunted Mansion. One is about a guest being frightened to death and the other is about the singing busts.

Ghosts of the Haunted Mansion

The Maynard Home Page is dedicated to one of everyone's favorite Disneyland cast members. Here you can find out who Maynard is, what he looks like, and what other guests have said about him.

Luis Flores wants to count all 999 happy haunts. Visit his site to see how far he's gotten.

There are two versions of the Haunted Mansion's Ghost Gallery which features biographies of some of the more famous happy haunts of Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion. Both appear to have the same text, but one is graphics intensive while the other is not graphics intensive.

Photos of the Haunted Mansion

Jeff's Lost World includes some Haunted Mansion photos as part of his Disneyland section.

If you want to see a computer rendering and several photos of the Haunted Mansions' hearse, Bob's Halloween Site includes a hearse page which will satisfy your curiosity.

The Marc Davis Collector's Society includes a photo collage and links to pages of other attractions and movies which Marc Davis worked on.

Voices of the Haunted Mansion

All Things Turl is a page dedicated to Thurl "Tony the Tiger" Ravenscroft, the man on the broken bust.

The Paul Frees page is dedicated to the Ghost Host himself.

Dead Links

The following links are dead. If you know of replacements for them, please let me know. Thanks.

Steve Ziolkowski's excellent Disneyland site includes a section on the Haunted Mansion. It includes a walk through (click the Haunted Mansion icon and images on subsequent pages to proceed), the script, answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and the story behind the design of the mansion. He also has a site dedicated to Phantom Manor.
