DoomBuggies.com Presents the Secrets of Disney's Haunted Mansion : 3 of 5
3.16.2007

DoomBuggies.com is without a doubt the best website ever devoted to the Haunted Mansion attraction, absolutely overflowing with amazing artwork, movies, sound, and of course, fantastic information. Last year they published this short book, which I really enjoyed, but I would call it more of an overview and not so much an in-depth collection of secrets. The main text is kind of a walk-through of the ride, describing everything that happens, stopping here and there to explain how certain effects are made. There are also shorter chapters on subjects like the Ghost Host and Haunted Mansion collectibles (which was really fun to read, since I had the board game a long time ago!), but generally only Disneyland's version is covered (there's no mention of Walt Disney World's library room, for example). My favorite few pages are the complete script to the classic Story and Song from Disney's Haunted Mansion album, which I must have listened to a hundred times when I was younger. There are some really nice photos (reproduced in black & white) and artwork, but it would have been amazing if the book had been designed with the same flair as the fantastic website! I definitely had fun reading through this book, but it only made me want to check out the DoomBuggies.com site again (and maybe that's on purpose!).
