The Haunted Mansion, the Haunting, and "Boo" vs "Brr" in spook-housedesign
Long Forgotten, the very best Haunted Mansion blog on the net, has a stellar piece on the influences that went into the Haunted Mansion's scary corridor of doors, and the delicate balance the corridor strikes between two different kids of scariness, called "Boo" and "Brr." The piece starts from the premise that the Imagineers who designed the Haunted Mansion were heavily influenced by the 1963 classic horror film The Haunting (the film adaptation of Shirley Jackson's horror novel The Haunted of Hill House, later remade as a 1999 film with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Liam Neeson).Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/4YyfEAR9s0c/story01.htm
