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.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Consevratory Coffin Paper Model Diorama

Here is a shot of another part of this year's Halloween Village Display, based on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. This is using another model from Ray Kiem at Haunted Dimensions (link on right), the Conservatory Coffin. I did a bit of extra detailing to spruce up the model: The hands were printed on the coffin lid, I cut those out and made them stand just off of the lid. The candle sticks were originally 2 sided in the model and looked rather flat, I cut out 3 sides for each candle, folded them in the middle and glued them together giving each candle 3 sides and a much more realistic effect. The model is kept at 100% scale since it fits in nicely with my display plans. Some other updates, the cutouts on the side were just printed in the model, I actually cut those out. And I also cut out the handles and made those 3D. The display is 1 foot square.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model Conservatory Coffin from Haunted Dimensions as the center piece for a diorama of the Conservatory.
The base for this diorama is black foam core. The tile flooring is just some art I did up in Photoshop and printed onto card stock. The window is in 3 parts, the black window framing is black cardboard with squares cut out - took a while to do that. Behind that is some tracing paper, and behind the tracing paper are a couple of tree silhouettes cut out of more black cardboard. Nothing fancy but gives a great effect. The flowerpots (hard to see in this photo) are model doll house stuff from Michael's Arts and Crafts. The Flowers are from another craft store, just ordinary fake flowers (lupines, I believe) that I cut the ends off of to use in this diorama. Just had to find some fake flowers with really small petals. Of course there is some basic floral moss tossed around for effect and some standard Halloween spider webbing to finish of the look. This is part 1 of 4 that are going to be displayed below the haunted mansion display.  The next up is the Attic.
