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…”
Can you tell me what this is? Here’s a clue.
Its a Haunted Mansion Collectible!
Come on….play along! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think it is.
I will post the answer tomorrow!
PS.. If you don’t have a clue, then you can always leave a comment wishing my husband a safe recovery today. He’s having a ‘procedure’ done on his back and will be feeling really sore for the next couple of days. That tends to happen when you kill a nerve or two in the spinal column.
August 11, 2009 - 11:03 pm - A Haunted Mansion hand mirror that has an image that appears and disappears with the touch of a button or automatically?
August 11, 2009 - 7:45 pm - The best of luck to Sam! I cant really figure out what the collectable is, hmm... I'l have to sleep on it.
August 11, 2009 - 6:18 pm - I hope Sam's surgery goes well! That's a scary one...
August 11, 2009 - 11:31 am - I think it has to do with Madame Leota...
August 11, 2009 - 10:39 am - Hope Disneythug get's through today with as little pain as possible! I find that ice cream sometimes helps.
August 11, 2009 - 10:17 am - it looks to me like the hitchhikers... :) Hope your husband is doing/feeling well!
August 11, 2009 - 10:05 am - The HHG plaque mirror?
August 11, 2009 - 8:21 am - I think its Hatbox Ghost Big-fig with extremely low depth of field on something in the background. 1.5?
August 11, 2009 - 8:01 am - Is it something I've seen before? Hmmmmm????? :-}
August 11, 2009 - 7:37 am - I think it is either a toy replica of the Haunted Mansion wall plaque frame (without "The Haunted Mansion" writing inside it) or it is some collectible involving Madame Leota since she is green. It could also be some special effect collectible involving the Hitchhiking Ghosts.
August 11, 2009 - 6:12 am - Hi! Is this a picture taken through a haunted mansion snowglobe?
