Inside the Haunted Mansion’s design

Jason Surrell traces the Haunted Mansion from its early concepts through its realization in Disney parks around the world, including Hong Kong Disneyland’s Mystic Manor. Archival sketches, architectural drawings, and photographs make the attraction’s development a visual subject as well as a historical one. The book also addresses the movement from initial inspiration to finished experience, recounts behind-the-scenes details, and considers long-running stories about the Mansion. Its updated material includes show enhancements and artwork from California, Florida, Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong, giving the volume a broad view of how this Disney attraction has been designed and presented across parks.

Book overview

WELCOME, FOOLISH MORTALS, to the Haunted Mansion, one of the most popular attractions in the history of Disney theme parks.

The Haunted Mansion: Imagineering a Disney Classic explores how the attraction's "999 happy haunts" were brought to life. Rare early concept sketches, detailed architectural drawings, and stunning still photography illustrate the Mansion's evolution as it was designed and built at each Magic Kingdom park around the world-including Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Our tour begins here with a twistedly thorough third edition. Based on the retired title The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies, this newly updated volume confirms or debunks longstanding urban legends, shares fascinating behind-the-screams stories, and reveals how concepts move from inspiration to reality. Readers will discover the latest show enhancements to this classic attraction and find even more artwork depicting the happy haunting grounds in California and Florida as well as Tokyo, Paris, and now Hong Kong.

This is one book you'll be dying to have on your shelf!
