Haunted Mansion Snoozles??

When going through a batch of slides, there are the inevitable few photos that will be crummy, for one reason or another. We know them as "Snoozles". And, as you know, I'll share a lot of those on Sundays, just in case they provide some tiny amount of entertainment value. BUT, when scanning a batch from December, 1976, I found two photos from inside the Haunted Mansion that were barely-acceptable. I almost threw my computer into the Grand Canyon. But then I decided that they weren't such bad little slides after all!

Yep, that's a chandelier alright. I wonder if this prop had been used in Hollywood movies? Those big prop houses have everything.  Of course this is from the big ballroom scene, one of the most spectacular sights in almost any ride at the time (and maybe even still). There are some ghosties having fun up among the crystals, but you can barely see them here.

Here's a contemporary photo of the scene, scrounged from the Internet. Look at those crazy ghosts! There's one of Cleopatra's handmaidens, and she's flirting with a fellow who might be a serf from medieval days? Please correct me, I know I'm wrong. A Dickensian fellow has had five too many, but it's not like he's going to get hurt.

Next is this mysterious and abstract image, with blurry blobs of color. TERRIFYING blobs of color! It wasn't very difficult to place this scene, but it was still fun to do the research.

Here we go! This is another photo picked from the Internet, I'm sorry I did not keep track of where it is from. But you can see that we're in the graveyard scene, where spirits from many eras seem to be enjoying a spot o' tea, while others ride bicycles in endless circles. 

I hope you've enjoyed these Haunted Mansion Snoozles™!
