EL336: Doctorow (86-End)
From pg. 102 of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, by Cory Doctorow:
"Those are terrific," Dan said. "That guy must be a total fiend." The meshes' author had painstakingly modeled, chained, and animate every ghost in the ballroom scene..."
This quote immediately made me stop reading, and start searching for real Haunted Mansion fanatics, and new media they've compiled dedicated to the mansion. I found several YouTube videos of videos that DisneyLand patrons taped themselves:
The Haunted Mansion ride-through at Disney's Magic Kingdom
The 2006 Haunted Mansion Halloween Walkthrough
Even a very rough start of a 3D model of the mansion (made with Blender)...
3d haunted mansion virtual ridethrough
One of the same author's updates on the project (Liberty Square haunted mansion)...
An artists various representations of the Haunted Mansion
paper model based on his 3d model made using Lightave 8.0 by Newtek
I wanted to see if there were mansion fanatics out there like the characters in Doctorow's book, and I found them for sure.
