The Haunted Mansion

[Darth Movado]

Dear RPF,

Though normally a Star Wars costumer and collector, I'm travelling with friends to Disney World this fall for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Having been a haunted house player and actor for years, this is a chance to flex some non Star Wars costuming muscle. My friends, all costume as members of the very famous Haunted Mansion. We have the Hitchhiking Ghosts (Ezra, Phinius, and Gus), The Bride, and Prudence, the invisible maid who waves her candelobra forever down the hallway. My character is going to be Pickwick, the portely little spectre up on the chandellier when you go through the main ballroom. I am curious if anyone has ever paid any attention to him or would have ideas on this costume and its construction. We are in the process of breaking it down now with the VERY limited pictures and footage we have of him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For those who wish to see, I've added a few pictures from last year's event at the mansion.

Here's the crew with some mansion workers

The crew catching a ride with the Bride

Can't tell who's who???

.........and lastly, catching the bus back to the haunted hotel....

This year, we'll have Pickwick and Prudence to add to the mix.



Sincerely,

Movado

Wander around http://www.doombuggies.com/ If I recal, not only do they have photos of all the ghosts, but also some conceptual drawings from the Disney archives.

I dont know if there will be anything of use, but I own this book:

Haunted Mansion
