Disney's The Haunted Mansion

By Dan-O Florez

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion! I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now.







Our tour begins here in this gallery where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state.

A nice shot of both shoes. Thanks for sharing photos of your shoes with your many followers.

Many clients request the wallpaper from the mansion to be incorporated into the shoe design.

Or TOMS

Marc Davis Original concept artwork is always a great inspiration for me when painting Disney themed shoes.



All our ghosts have been dying to meet you! This one can hardly contain himself!

Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake,
Spooks come out for a swinging wake!
Happy haunts materialize, and begin to vocalize. 
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!

Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide,

For a silly spook may sit by your side.

Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize.

Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize! 
As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree, 
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell, 

weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.

Restless bones etherealize, rise as spooks of every size!




Ah, there you are, and just in time! There's a little matter I forgot to mention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They have selected you to fill our quota, and they'll haunt you until you return! Now I will raise the safety bar, and a ghost will follow you home!





Hurry back! Hurry back! Be sure to bring your death certificate, if you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now! We've been dying to have you!
