Disney’s Haunted Mansion: The Beginning!

Tonight’s video was suggested by SomeoneElse, and it’s a must-see if you’re a combined Halloween/Disney fanatic:

From 1970, it’s a mini-doc on the then-new Haunted Mansion ride. This was part of the Disneyland Showtime special, which ran as an episode of The Wonderful World of Disney.

Lots of great behind-the-scenes footage in here. (And keep an eye out for a super young Kurt Russell!)

If you feel like falling further down the rabbit hole, the Haunted Mansion’s Wikipedia entry is like ten miles long.

PS: Dino Drac’s main page will be updated Monday through Friday with all-new spooky stuff!
