The Haunted Mansion for Halloween, Pt. 2



Part Two of my Halloween Haunted Mansion series begins with this cute (?) little brass bat detail used for the stanchions when you exit the elevator. While this light fixture below screams Home Depot, the custom wall detail of the scary face with gnashing teeth makes up for it!



The elevator door is still open, and the guests have all exited to proceed down the changing portrait hallway.



Me…I often linger to get my photos. Much to the chagrin of the ghost host.



One of my favorite changing portraits: Medusa!



I wonder how many guests racing towards the Doombuggies miss the effect of these busts?



Here’s a genuine FauxD© approximation for those of you who don’t stop to “smell the roses”:



As you turn the corner, the view as you look back towards the revolving busts:



Another chandelier overhead for Lou & Sue:



The anticipation increases as you get closer to your Doombuggy:



This cast member was either caught blinking or is mid-trance. For the purposes of this post, I’ll go with the latter.

Freaky Fridays @ The Haunted Mansion: Eerie Hallway Busts & Gargoyle



At the end of the portrait hallway are 2 eerie busts whose gaze seems to follow you as you walk on by.





Although this corridor’s main purpose is a walkway to the Doombuggies, as you’ve often heard, it’s all about the journey. Along the way you might also see a few menacing gargoyles and plenty of lightning!







For those of you that celebrate Christmas, may your day be spectacular and full of cheer!



But if you’ve been naughty, don’t expect anything under the tree:



Santa always knows...
