The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located at Disneyland Park (Disneyland Resort), Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. The attraction, although differing slightly in every location, places riders inside a haunted manor resided in by "999 happy haunts."
The Haunted Mansion features a ride-through tour in Omnimover vehicles called "Doom Buggies", and a walk-through show is displayed to riders waiting in the line queue. The attraction utilizes a range of technology, from centuries-old theatrical effects to modern special effects featuring spectral Audio-Animatronics. The Haunted Mansion has inspired two similarly themed attractions, Phantom Manor and Mystic Manor, which exist at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, respectively.
The idea for the Mansion precedes Disneyland and WED Enterprises, to when Walt Disney hired the first of his Imagineers.[1] At the time, the park they were developing the attraction for was supposed to be located across from the studios. In 1951, the first known illustration of the park showed a main street setting, green fields, western village and a carnival.[2] Disney Legend Harper Goff developed a black-and-white sketch of a crooked street leading away from main street by a peaceful church and graveyard, with a run-down manor perched high on a hill that towered over main street.[1]
Disney assigned Imagineer Ken Anderson to create a story using Goff's idea.[1] Plans were made to build a New Orleans-themed land in the small transition area between Frontierland and Adventureland. Weeks later, New Orleans Square appeared on the souvenir map and promised a thieves market, a pirate wax museum, and a haunted house walk-through.[3] Anderson studied New Orleans and old plantations and came up with a drawing of an antebellum manor overgrown with weeds, dead trees, swarms of bats and boarded doors and windows topped by a screeching cat as a weather vane.[1]
Disney, however, rejected the idea of having a run-down building in his park.[1] He visited the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, and was captivated by the massive mansion with its stairs to nowhere, doors that opened to walls and holes, and elevators.[2] Anderson envisioned stories for the mansion, including tales of a ghostly sea captain who killed his nosy bride and then hanged himself, a mansion home to an unfortunate family, and a ghostly wedding party with well-known Disney villains and spooks.[1] Imagineers Rolly Crump and Yale Gracey recreated Ken Anderson's stories in a studio at WED Enterprises.
In 1961, handbills announcing a 1963 opening of the Haunted Mansion were given out at Disneyland's main entrance.[4] Construction began a year later, and the exterior was completed in 1963.[3] The attraction was previewed in a 1965 episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color,[4] but the attraction itself would not open until 1969. The six-year delay owed heavily to Disney's involvement in the New York World's Fair in 1964-1965 and to an attraction redesign after Walt's death in 1966.
In 1995, Disneyland's Haunted Mansion was updated. A phantom piano player sat at a run-down piano in the attic scene,[1] just like the music room at Walt Disney World's Mansion.
In 2001, a newer, more detailed safety spiel was added to the onboard audio of the doom buggy in the Load Area, now featuring voice-over artist and Paul Frees impersonator Joe Leahy, giving a bilingual safety spiel as part of a park-wide attempt to increase safety at attractions. The seasonal overlay Haunted Mansion Holiday premiered that October in Disneyland, featuring characters from the 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The original MPC "Pirates of the Caribbean" model kits (with "Snap-Action!) were my (pun intended) hands-down favorites when I was a kid. I built every one, and was (pleasantly) astonished when they reissued them, at which point I watched every minute of YOU building every one. Looks like I'll be doing the same now with the Haunted Mansion series!
Thanks for the Nostalgia Rush!

I have never done anything like this, but it looks fun and is very cool when finished. Super nice build.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!
I love these fun kits. They really bring out the kid in you Chris.😊. Thanks for all the great painting tips & techniques. The paint job came out awesome. Leave it to you to make a dungeon look like so much fun. 👍🏼😃

Yayyyyy! More zap-action stuff! Loved watching this one, Chris! Just FYI, the little guy on the coffin is one of the 3 hitchhiking ghosts on the actual Haunted Mansion ride.There are 4 kits in the Haunted Mansion series and the second one, GRAVE ROBBER"S REWARD, is set for August. I'm waiting for the reissue of PLAY IT AGAIN SAM, the organ player with a mummy that pops up out of the organ. Had the original in the 70s and it's a big kit like this one. These kits are a blast and watching you make 'em is always entertaining. Oh, and the last 2 Jolly Roger kits will be out in September! So you've got 3 more zap action kits to show us this year. Can't wait. Keep the glue flowing, bro!
Looking forward to all of them, love these kits!

Nice job on the “respectable dungeon” Chris! Don’t know what’s scarier... Father Time all splayed on the coffin, or the pregnant guy with the axe 😆
Raykreations .hahahahaahh very good.

Thank you, I've been waiting to see how this would be done by your styrene artistic skills. Keep em coming. I learned a lot from your vids.

I really hope they put out more of these kits. I have yet to do one, but I want to get the pirate ones and these and incorporate them all in a diorama. Great job.
The one featuring a graverobber about to regret not paying attention has been announced. There are two more in the original series after that, and they're my favorites; a goofy vampire freaking out in a graveyard, and a dude playing a huge organ loud enough to wake the dead. I hope they make the cut; the vampire one features loose flyaway parts and the organ kit is freakin' *huge* (and therefore expensive).
I'm looking forward to all of them, for sure!
So refreshing to see you build something other than cars. The whole series is fantastic.
Yup, I try to break it up as often as I can with what's sent over. Thanks!
now that was a fun build of a cool kit

Absolutely loved this full assembly and paint, fantastic job well done, just ordered this I hope mine comes out as good as yours!
Geez Chris! How many old socks do you have? Your postive attitude is the only thing that tops your builds!
I cornered the sock market back in 1986.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!
I love watching these types of builds, washes, dry brushing, detail painting, etc in the morning, with a cup of coffee. My wife says it is my ASMR. Whatever it may be, you make simple models look fantastic. The comic like "moon dust" skin is silly and great!
Considering the potential age of this kit, Polar Lights released a very buildable kit. See you at the next one!

Great directions, tips, supply's used and fantastic video..I'm off to my hobby store and buying this kit !!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!
You make everything look so easy
what I meant to say is that I mostly watch the ones that you do on the cars and trucks as you may noticed in in my comments .
how ever I have watched alot of your videos off that subject and I like your presentation on all of your builds that I watch .
I love the back stories too .
I re watch them more than once to get how you detail them and you explain them real well easy to understand

Chris, I finally worked on my first Jolly Roger Pirates re-release thanks to you! The original 1970s Disney Pirates of the Caribbean model kits are going for $300 on eBay! It's great seeing these original Disney kits re-released (now without the Disney $$$ name of course), but virtually identical to the ones from over 40 years ago. The characters in this Haunted Mansion (Manor) kit are in the Haunted Mansion attraction, but are not arranged in this way on the ride. A viking-style helmet is worn by a singing female opera style ghost toward the end of the ride, along with the executioner. The skeleton in the coffin never gets out of the coffin in the attraction, BUT does strongly resemble the Phantom from the Disneyland Paris version of the ride. As already mentioned, the little green guy with the ball and chain sitting on the coffin is actually one of the 3 hitch hiking ghosts at the end of the ride, named "Gus" by the Disney fandom. In the ride video below, the Coffin scene is at 4:31; "Gus" is seen at 9:00 standing next to the Executioner, next to the "opera lady" wearing a viking helmet. "Gus" is seen again at 9:14 (small guy, on the far right);. ruclips.net/video/ZAnYRlNDM5A/видео.html

Yo, Chris, Master of the Craft, you are a talented guy. I'm glad I found your channel. Very nice work (and cost effective using your tricks).
Thanks for sharing...

Normally I wouldn't watch but I like your style in your videos and you knocked out of the park like Always
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!
You should stick some red LEDs down in that hole, that would probably look very cool.
Nice, post some pics on the workshop FB page when you do that. Green would look cool too!
Lol, Hanna Barbera, the color choice was perfect, great job

Hey Chris, Just caught this even though its over a year old. Time seems to disappear for old guys like us any how.
I watch 1-2 videos a day to try to catch all your builds. You have a ton of different super professional detail tricks that make any kit come to life.
I am glad you chose to use the ax for cutting the chain. 2 things if you could tell all, when you use the “army” wash colors, do you like to wipe off the high areas and allow the wash to shadow the valley of the surface? And, did you try and see if the coffin lid would snap open with the skeleton jumping up, or was it just to heavy for the action ? Was the lid suppose to fly open as part of the whole theme of the kit ? Does the cut open viking horn hat fit the fat ax wielding fat guy?
Anyhow, SUPER NICE JOB ! You have inspired me to give one a try in over 50 years of modeling !
How did us “kids” grow to be so old, and still continue to thoroughly enjoy a such a great hobby ?
Missed this one. July now & I just watched the Grave Digger. I like doo hickies & thingamajigs. A change of pace. Love that drain grate. The base is sweet also. So the hole in the floor is for no purpose? Thanks for the assembly tips. They ought to sell that base separate for other projects. How often does one get to paint up an executioner? I call finger work "smudge technique". I use it every project. Nice color dispersion.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had all four Haunted Mansion kits when I was about 12. I want to get them again. I love your attention to detail. When I was a kid I painted them much like they are on the box. If I wanted to paint the figures so they had that blue look of the figures in the actual haunted mansion graveyard, how would you recommend that I achieve that? Thanks!
Fun build.

But... I don't wanna build a respectable dungeon! I wanna build a clean freak's dungeon! XD
Another master piece!

I added a link for the door problem. I hope you like it.
Thanks Mike!
These kits are brilliant I do try to get them in 🇬🇧

Does the coffin cover move when the skeleton pops up?
It can IF you take the time to sand it and smooth the hinges out and make it do so, but the rubber band has a hard time popping it up with the skeleton so I left it alone.
I tried using windshield fluid and craft paints to make the stone wash but the result was not good at all as the wash had too much surface tension and tended to bead up. I did lay down a flat clear coat prior to applying the wash so maybe that was the problem? Are all windshield fluids basically the same? I purchased the cheapest one at my local Kroger's.
BTW, thank you for creating such a great channel! Definitely inspires and motivates me to do more!
I use the blue 98 cent per gallon stuff.
How do you think it would look if you added one/two recessed LED's under the base, powered by easily hidden battery pack, be a shame to not take advantage of the two detailed openings in the base.
Lights would look great and be easy to add to your build.
Super cool

I'm wondering how the sock feels about all this!?
We don't ask the sock. It has PTSD.
What did one casket ask the other casket?
Is that you coffin?
LOL
I need those where can I find them online?
What happened to the glow in the dark? It looks great but why cover all the coolness.
You are welcome to leave your kit painted, unpainted or any combination of the two. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment!
I am thinking about purchasing two of these model kits. I will paint one and not paint the other one and this allow it to glow in the dark.
