Vintage 1960s Photos of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Special Effects Creations
I have a lot of great memories of going on the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. It's one of my favorite rides at the park because it's entertaining as hell. There's just so much going on in it! I can only imagine how fun it must have been to have been involved with the creation of the ride.
I've found a collection of vintage photos here from the 1960s giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the ride. The photos feature famed Disney Imagineer Yale Gracey with his awesome ghostly special effects creations. There are even a few photos of him with the Hatbox Ghost, who is the most famous character in Haunted Mansion lore. I think these photos are so cool.
Thanks to Haunted Mansion Backstage for the photos.
