Summary: 5 Mansions in one book - Inside & Out !!
Comment: With 4 Haunted Mansions in existance as rides, and another existing on the silver screen, it's hard to find a book that encompasses all of these, let alone one that goes into such great detail as "The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies"
I have been a Mansion Fan ever since the opening of the Disneyland one was broadcast on TV. I have been through the two USA Mansions, but living in Australia, have as yet to see the movie.
Jason Surrell has masterfully woven facts, behind-the-scenes tales and even a little fan folklore to come up with this, the definitive Disney Attraction Book.
Previous reviews have mentioned many of the delights contained within, however it's wonderful to see so much of the "Blue Sky" phase and the richly detailed imagineering models, maquettes and artwork from the rides and the movie alike. Yes, it's like being able to X-ray the goose that laid the golden eggs, but you don't have to kill the goose to do it - you come away from this book wanting to go on the rides or see the movie again just to check out more of the minutae.
At 132 pages long, you get plenty of "bang for buck" with this book, and even when you have finished it from cover to cover, it is the sort of book you can happily take up time and time again, to re-read, and to show others.
Mansion Fans - Don't miss this one.
Disney Fans - A valuable addition to any Disney book collection.
Anyone Else - Read this, and you will be longing to visit a Haunted Mansion near you, I guarantee !!
....Hurry back..... Hurry back....

Summary: An awesome book and packed with information!
Comment: Since the Haunted Mansion has been my all-time favorite ride since my first visit to Walt DisneyWorld in 1975 I was absolutely blown away while at the movies getting ready to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. I knew as soon as the preview started that this upcoming movie was about the Haunted Mansion. Screaming in the theater I was absolutely ecstatic and wanted November 26th to be the next day. When I found out that there was a book about everything you ever wanted to know about the Haunted Mansion and information on the movie I HAD TO HAVE IT. I read it in 1 day and I didn't want it to end. I wanted more!!! How lucky the author was to be able to "walk" the Haunted Mansion, one of my all time dreams! It is a wonderful book that I would advise anyone who is a Haunted Mansion freak to have in their Disney Book Collection or ANY book collection. I'd like to thank the author for giving us this wonderful book. Now I think I'll go read it again!
