Haunted Mansion props, pieces and inspiration.

That Leota is fabulous...but it's bogus, Disney doesn't "prototype" in resin. It may be a cast from the master mold, but I doubted the sellers description when it popped up.

Haunted Mansion Holiday Tarot Cards.....the same card designs in the madame leota seance room

Those are nice. I need to make it to DL for the Nightmare overlay.

Excellent post! Well done

I have a casting of the wood detail from the load area hall...not sure where it is, somewhere in a tub of castings and molds from my time at WDW. I'll see if I can find it next time I'm out to my storage unit.

Any luck finding the casting?

I'd be interested in any casting from the HM too.

Yes. I have two sets and two doors that I'd like to use the snakes for.

I'm working on something with some members here which would meet your needs. Stay tuned!

So I recently acquired about 6" of "little Leota" filmstrip from a private seller, but I'm at a total loss on how best to display it. Ideally, it would be nice to have it backlit, but it's such small film stock that it would be dwarfed by a frame of any size.

Anyone have any thoughts? I may just hold out for additional pieces of mansion film and make a larger display. Of course, in the meantime my new purchase sits in an envelope. It's a double edged sword, I tell you. :facepalm

Have them scanned and then have prints made from them. Put the filmstrips in a frame with you new prints to show what they are.

Does anyone know where I can find the sundial? I found a similar sundial on eBay but not the exact model.

I got mine on eekBay last year...the exact one. Course those things come and go. I searched all over for the original manufacturer...if memory serves no joy on any front but eekBay.

Currently, eBay has the one with the wrong inscription and the last time the correct style sold on eBay wad in November

Ah, well. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for the info and if anyone out there has a lead, shoot me a PM!

Ebay is really the best option; that's where I picked mine up last year. Looks like one just sold this past Monday... They pop up fairly frequently though so don't be discouraged. The one you want is made by Virginia Metalcrafters model number 23-1 10 1/2.

Sorry, don't have much to offer this awesome thread other than there is a hidden Mickey on the table in that picture.

I'm sure I'll eventually find one, but I hope I'm able to track one down before Valentine's Day: My wife and I are planning on building a slightly HM-themed house (on her parents' land in Riverside, CA oddly enough) and I thought the sundial would be a perfect gift and a fitting start to our new home.

Well we decided to up the ante with our Mansion plaque display...when you come down the basement stairs this is the first thing you see.
It was just a brick cubby area with the plaque and a green light. Wife and I went to work on tonight.

Outstanding work! What kind of lighting are you using?

It's a mini led spot light from darklight...re wired to a 9 volt battery and a switch.

 

[VanOaksProps]

Gotcha.

I've made my own version of darklight's led spots. Considerable cheaper. http://youtu.be/470rIADIaxA

 

[howlingwind13]

I worked for the owner of Darklight over in china...as a consultant for his haunted attraction. So mine was free.
