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…”

Disney Gallery Returns!

The Disney Gallery is set to open this Fall in the former Bank of Main Street Building in Disneyland!  Read more about it here. This is great news to Haunted Mansion collectors and Disney fans, as it is a great source for art and collectibles.  I’m pretty sure the number one question I get regarding my collection is “Where did you get those stretching portraits?”  Print on Demand located in the Disney Gallery was my biggest source, so I’m really hoping Print of Demand will make a return as well.  I believe there is a POD station located in World of Disney store in Downtown Disney (or there was one last time I was there, which was some time ago) but it seems as though their selections differed from Disney Gallery. I’m sure there will be some wonderful pieces celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Haunted Mansion at the Gallery, which will be a welcomed site to many fans, especially those who were unable to attend the merchandise events this year.
