Even More Haunted Mansion Pix

The Haunted Mansion Control Room

Top O' The Stairs- just above the loading area

In Dreams I Kiss Your Hand Madame...


Watch the birdie



It's a bust




Busts from an unusual angle





Madame Leota and Moi






The Bride and Groom







Uncle Glen giving 'em what they want








At his organ again

New Webster Find

I have never seen this recording before and I don't remember Pied Piper Shoes. It will take a bit of tinkering to transfer the audio- I hope I'm up to the challenge.
What great graphics! Thanks to little Webster, Uncle Jimmy and to Ray Peavey who graciously gave me this record just because he knew how much I love Webster Webfoot!

Even More Haunted Mansion Pix

The Endless Hallway- where the floating candles can be found.

Hitchhiking Ghosts

Let me out.


The backside of candles.



Any requests?

More Haunted Mansion Pix

It's just like being 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea- because it's Captain Nemo's organ. Recycled from the motion picture of the same name. Note the woodwork on the right-hand side of the photo. There IS NO WOODWORK there. The images of wood are hand-painted, shadows and all to create the illusion of depth. The wall is entirely flat and smooth. Amazing.


All I know for sure here is that the ashtray is glued down to the organ!


"And a Ghost will follow you home!" Here they are, in a photo taken on the other side of the mirrors near the unloading dock. My vote for one of the creepiest shots taken in the whole mansion.



This is the control room of the Haunted Mansion.




A few more Ghosts to "follow you home". Pants are optional.

Haunted Mansion

Disneyland or BUST!
I like this shot.

The Twelve-Foot Bride Of Jolson.


Call Me Madam (Leota)



These guys are cool. I have quite a few nice photos taken in the Haunted Mansion with the lights on. I'll post more shortly. Hope you LIKE 'em!!

Uncle Glen's Manifesto

Digging around through the sheet music today, I found this treatise, if you will. Management at Charter Communications required that we submit a prospectus of sorts in order to justify the expense of studio time and tech labor involved in taping my TV show. How we ever slipped this one past the powers that be will always puzzle me. I hope it puzzles you.

Kathryn Beaumont

Bumped into Kathryn Beaumont while wandering around Disneyland one day. I was lucky to recognize her- but really I recognized her voice first, and then figured out who she was. She was really nice and we had a great chat. My first inclination was to see if I could ride the Alice In Wonderland dark ride with her- but she and her group had just gone on that attraction. So I had her sign the only thing I could find at the park that was Alice-related. It turns out to be a nice memory of a very nice encounter at Disneyland!
