Rating: Summary: ITS A DEAD MANS PARTY LEAVE YOUR BODY AT THE DOOR Review: This book is amazing-its filled with beautiful art and how the Haunted Mansion and its 999 happy haunts came to "life"!I like how this book has pictures of how they made the Haunted Mansion-and in this book they also explain how the ghosts moved-I bet you wanna know dont you-sorry-its a secret! And another interesting thing about this book is the movie The Haunted Mansion-of how they made it-the amazing makeup by Rick Baker-who should win an award for his makeup job in this movie! The story of Phantom Manor is intersting too-and it also gives you an idea of the bride and everything! So buy this book-you will not be dissapointed! WHERE HINGES CREAK IN DOORLESS CHAMBERS WHERE STRANGE AND FRIGHTENING SOUNDS ECHO THROUGH THE HALLS WHERE CANDLE LIGHTS FLICKR THOUGH THE AIR IS DEATHLY STILL THIS IS PHANTOM MANOR! And at the ride the Haunted Mansion-its great that they have Vincent Price as the voice of the ghost host!

Rating: Summary: 5 Mansions in one book - Inside & Out !! Review: With 4 Haunted Mansions in existance as rides, and another existing on the silver screen, it's hard to find a book that encompasses all of these, let alone one that goes into such great detail as "The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies" I have been a Mansion Fan ever since the opening of the Disneyland one was broadcast on TV. I have been through the two USA Mansions, but living in Australia, have as yet to see the movie. Jason Surrell has masterfully woven facts, behind-the-scenes tales and even a little fan folklore to come up with this, the definitive Disney Attraction Book. Previous reviews have mentioned many of the delights contained within, however it's wonderful to see so much of the "Blue Sky" phase and the richly detailed imagineering models, maquettes and artwork from the rides and the movie alike. Yes, it's like being able to X-ray the goose that laid the golden eggs, but you don't have to kill the goose to do it - you come away from this book wanting to go on the rides or see the movie again just to check out more of the minutae. At 132 pages long, you get plenty of "bang for buck" with this book, and even when you have finished it from cover to cover, it is the sort of book you can happily take up time and time again, to re-read, and to show others. Mansion Fans - Don't miss this one. Disney Fans - A valuable addition to any Disney book collection. Anyone Else - Read this, and you will be longing to visit a Haunted Mansion near you, I guarantee !! ....Hurry back..... Hurry back....
