Welcome Foolish Mortals

My name is Carrie Vines and I'm a little obsessed with Disney's Haunted Mansion. I'm blessed with a husband who supports my obsession and even encourages it. My kids, well...they barely tolerate it. But they're young and resilient. They'll recover. 

My husband, Sam, and I have always celebrated Halloween with a little more enthusiasm than anyone else on the block. When we decided to start an annual haunt, we both looked to the Haunted Mansion for inspiration. It was then we discovered the collector's circuit and our calling. While searching the web for Haunted Mansion decorating ideas, I stumbled across Doombuggies.com and found my refuge on the internet.  I've met some of my closest friends on doombuggies, and spend my time there hearing other collector's stories, seeing their collections and the creative ways in which they displayed their pieces, sharing our defeats and celebrating our victories on ebay when we finally procured that one 'must-have' piece. If you haven't checked out doombuggies, go check it out. NOW. And then come back here and share your favorite Haunted Mansion collectible or tattoo or shrine to Master Gracey. You're among friends here. 

Thanks for stopping by and just as in the ride, I will conclude here with Little Leota's haunting words:

"Hurry back… Hurry back! Be sure to bring your death certificate, if you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now. We've been  'dying’ to have you…”

Welcome, Welcome, Well….Come In…..again!

Welcome Foolish Mortals….to the new and improved Haunted Mansion Collectibles blog!  The other day I realized that I have had the old blog since 2007!   I’ve been wanting to give my little ol’ blog a facelift for sometime, and I have to say I’m loving the new digs! Its still a work in progress as I figure out all the upgraded features I have to play with, but I’m especially excited about the larger picture format and I just couldn’t wait any longer! Now if you would be so kind as to update your feeds and bookmarks and be sure to hurry back.

Oh, and I’m looking for a logo for Haunted Mansion Collectibles.  If you’re a graphic designer (clearly I’m not, just look at the amateurish header and watermark), would you please send me an email at carrie@hauntedmansioncollectibles.com?

May 16, 2009 - 1:56 pm Carrie - loosetoon, thanks for the heads up on the subscribe button. I'll take a look at it. As for your other comment, I completely agree with you. It is too bright and cheerful. I have a new logo in the works that surely will make a much better impression. I hate to admit it, but I'm a bit bright and cheerful and I may have put too much of me in here. lol

May 15, 2009 - 9:15 am loosetoon - The new site is looking good... a little too bright and cheerful, maybe? This is the Haunted Mansion, afterall! FYI: your "Subscribe" button is not working for me.
