Haunted Mansion Halloween Village Display Final Images

Well, here are images of the final display. It really looked great when viewed from the outside at night. The kids loved it.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Diorama. Lighting Effects, showing Attic below and graveyard above. Off to the right top is the Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model. So, just like in the actual ride, you go down below ground to get to the rooms.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Diorama. Lighting Effects, showing Conservatory, Stretching Room below and Haunted Mansion Paper Model above.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Diorama. Stretching Room with lighing effects. The purple glow in front is from a black light. The "candles" are LEDs. The glowing ghost is a toy I found over at Target before Halloween for $2. To the left is the Conservatory.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model (200% blowup from original). Lighting Effects. Most of the lighting is from a Black Light. Since the white card stock glows under black light the whole model glows. In front are some practical lights (pumpkins, skulls, and such. On the right is the Ghostbusters Ectomobile from last year's display. The green lighting is a mini spot light behind the mansion.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model, side view. The large white thing is a curtain. The glowing orange blobs on the roof are a light up pumpkin necklace.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model. Same angle as above but with daylight instead of practical lighting. This is a great comparison and shows just how much a little bit of lighting does to enhance the display.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Rooms Diorama

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Rooms Diorama, Hallway with Demon Clock and Attic with Bride

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Rooms Diorama, Conservatory with Coffin and Stretching Room with Portraits
Here are two pictures showing the finished Disneyland Haunted Mansion Rooms Dioramas. You can see in the bottom picture how these are placed below the Halloween Village display, the Stretching Room is basically below the Haunted Mansion paper model which is right behind the Ghostbusters car (from last years display).

These pictures are using daylight, the display is much better at night with the built in lighting, but these show all the details. In the top photo I added in a McDonalds kids toy, this one of Madam Leota in her Crystal Ball. The bottom picture shows the finished Conservatory and the Stretching Room with a Jack Skellington purchased at Disneyland, a light up Ghost from Target, and the Caretaker and Dog.

Disney Haunted Mansion Attic Diorama

Here are some shots from my diorama of the Attic in Disney's Haunted Mansion. There is still a little bit of detail work to do, but this one is mostly finished. Next up is the hallway with the Demon Clock, wall pictures and one of the doors.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic Diorama, showing printouts of wall and floor
Here is the basic box for the Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic diorama. Just like the Conservatory diorama, this one is 1 foot square. The back wall slopes in a bit. The back wall, and the floor are simply some wood look paneling that I did up in Photoshop.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic Diorama with wall and floor installed. Plus roof beam and haunted portrait.
Here the paneling and flooring is fully installed. Also installed is a brace and joists, made from some foam core with more of the wall printing glued on for detail. The picture is from the Disneyland Haunted Mansion that I found online, one of the Bride pictures. I placed it into a frame I found at a crafts store.
Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic Diorama, stuff collected for the display, mostly paper models.
Here is some of the stuff I collected to fill up the Attic. In front, of course, is the Bride. This is a Disneyland Toy and stands about 6 inches tall. Just to her right is a vase with flowers and to the far right is a wedding cake. Both of these are from a Party Store and are candles used for weddings. The lantern in the front center is a Colman givaway that I have had around forever. Most of the rest is an assortment of paper models that I found all over the web. Different boxes, trunks, furniture, etc.  The wrinkled picture in the background is a printout of a photo of the actual Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic that I am using for inspiration. I am not making an exact replica, but it will feel right. The Demon Clock is for the Hallway diorama.
Disneyland Haunted Mansion Attic Diorama finished, except for cobwebs
Here is everything placed into the Diorama. I still need to move a few things around, take off that black base on the Bride, glue everything down and add cobwebs, but this is basically it. There is another picture of the Bride from the actual ride to the left of the Bride, in a small frame from a crafts store. It is kind of hard to make out in this photo but in the back right corner is a worn out mirror, this is actually a Disneyland Haunted Mansion Toy from McDonald's, I painted the frame gold instead of the purple plastic it came with. It is sitting on a plastic trunk that is another McDonald's Disneyland Haunted Mansion toy. Also impossible to make out in the photo are the cards on the table, those are actual doll house sized wedding cards from the turn of the last century. With the right spooky lighting this will look great.
