The making of THE HAUNTED MANSION, hosted by young Kurt Russell!

A disturbingly young (and incredibly smarmy) Kurt Russell is your host for this fascinating look at the creation of the original Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. The ride is even more impressive when you see how all of that spooky splendor was basically achieved with mirrors, clockwork gears, turntables, rubber bands and other old junk you'd expect to find in your grandpa's garage.

I would so some terrible things to own some of those little model sets or props. Terrible, awful things. Don't even ask.



If you've never been to the Haunted Mansion (you poor, deprived creature), perhaps this video will give you some idea of what it's like. It takes you from the winding line outside (complete with somebody's uncle making corny jokes to pass the time) all the way through the ride, complete with a ride breakdown when one of the naughty spooks traps you in your "doom buggy".
