I thought this might interest some of you. Back in 1996 a Disney contractor built a 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom home based on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. It's actually up for sale. It's located in Duluth, Georgia.

This would be the ultimate project! :love Unfortunately, the asking price is $873,000. :cry

As much as I love, Love, LOVE this (love)...I wish they'd gone all out with it, design and decoration-wise. Plus, we've all accepted the fact that the layout of the Haunted Mansion wouldn't be able to fit into the actual HM facade...but they could at least cheat it a little. I imagine the Georgia house could fit a static version of the stretching room and a scaled-down ballroom. Each of the seven rooms could feature a certain theme taken from the ride (A Madame Leota room, or a Black Widow Bride room).

Can anyone loan me a million dollars? I know the house is only $873,000, but I need the extra cash for my upgrades.

Since it's a livable house, they probably thought it would be harder to sell if it was decorated like the Haunted Mansion.

I'll give them credit, though, at least one of the bathrooms has a Haunted Mansion theme.
 
That's not the haunted house I know. The one in Orlando (in my opinion) is WAY creepier.
 
That's awesome. Still never been to the original attraction, but I love the Florida one...but if you want true creepy then Phantom Manor in Paris is the place to go. Their graveyard scene in parts is truely gruesome and the look of the building has a eerie vibe about it. Just wish they would add a couple of updates to it like the Florida HM
 
I saw this and was amazed!
But...I wish since he went to that detail that he would have built the wraparound porch.
Still it's ok, 'cause I'll never be able to afford it :)

Though I realized that my own house is white with green shutters...hmmm....
 
Gut the interior! Yep my thoughts exactly! Looks great externally!

Anyone ever built a Bates House/Mansion? That would be my Lottery home....
 
Ew it's the white one. Gimme Phantom Manor any day :D overt spookiness ftw!

On a somewhat more serious note, that is so awesome; makes me think of the full-scale Munster Mansion in Waxahachie ^_^ . . . one day it will be mine . . .

i believe the Disney Haunted Mansion in Paris was modeled after the Bates House.....


I have pictures of the original bates house on the universal back lot....one of my favorite scenes on the studio tour
 
I think the original Disney world one is somewhere near Philly. It's sucks being a home owner and you have to worry about the resale value

The architecture of each mansion is intended to match it's surrounding buildings.

The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland (California) is in a section of the park known as "New Orleans Square", so it's "Antebellum" architecture is based on plantations and mansions seen in the southern ("Old South") U.S.. Walt Disney himself was adamant that the Haunted Mansion not have a "run down" appearance in his "pristine" park, which is one of the reasons the attraction doesn't have a "creepier" exterior. I rather like it, but that's probably because it's what I grew up with here in southern California.

The Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World is (as you probably know) in a section of the park known as "Liberty Square", a "tribute to colonial America", so it's "Dutch Gothic Revivial" architecture is based on northeastern U.S. mansions found in the older areas of Pennsylvania and New York. To me it looks more like a medieval church than a haunted mansion, but I've never been to W.D.W. so I've never seen it in person.

I'm inclined to agree with Doomseeker and Ravensclaw - I think Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris, with it's French "Second Empire" architecture (which is the same style as the Bates mansion in Psycho), looks most like what people imagine these days when they think of a haunted house.
