Walt Disney himself championed the idea of a Museum of the Weird after first seeing Crump’s sketches, and being creeped out to the point of sleeplessness. His drawings increasingly emphasized the macabre - a coffin that doubled as a grandfather clock, men made out of candles, talking chairs, a mirror with a face, and man-eating plants were just a few of Crump’s whimsically creepy ideas. Disney Legend Rolly Crump was primarily responsible for the ideas present in this never-built concept. The story here is different from that of the other three Mansions, following the sad tale of Henry Ravenswood and his quest to prevent the marriage of his daughter to any other suitor via various means of murder.Īt one point in the design phase of the attraction, a large part of the Haunted Mansion concept was dubbed a “Museum of the Weird”, which would have been a walk-through-style attraction. The design here is considered Second Empire style, and the manor itself is based on historical structures located in the American southwest state of Nevada. In Disneyland Paris, the Mansion – or should we say Phantom Manor – is located in Frontierland. All three of these Mansions share the same general storyline, which is simply visiting some members of the afterlife in the place where they eternally dwell. The Mansion located in Tokyo Disneyland is very similar in design to the one in Magic Kingdom, but is located in the park’s Fantasyland. Magic Kingdom’s Mansion is located in Liberty Square, and takes on an eerie brick-based Gothic Revival style.
The original Haunted mansion in Disneyland is located in New Orleans Square, and has a southern plantation design.
