It's been 40 years since the Grim Grinning Ghosts first opened their doors at the Disneyland Resort and invited Guests into the Haunted Mansion. Take a look back to the beginning with Walt and the Imagineers who created the beloved attraction. Go behind the scenes and see how Walt's original idea for the Mansion evolved. Thanks, in part, to the 1964 New York World's Fair, it morphed from a walk-through attraction to one that transports its Guests in "Doom Buggies." Discover how special effects and audio-animatronics have given life to the ghosts and ghouls who've been delightfully scaring Guests all these years. From stretching rooms to hitchhiking ghosts, the 999 Happy Haunts never disappoint and always invite guests to ... "hurry back."
