Meet Jack Skellington and other characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)! The Disney Parks Blog promises they’ll be haunting the halls of Haunted Mansion Holiday. This version of the Haunted Mansion attraction is a seasonal overlay mixing the scenes and characters of the original ride with those from The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Disneyland Resort culinary team says to keep your eye out for another spooky gingerbread house in the ride’s ballroom.

“Halloween Time” nighttime spectacular show “Halloween Screams” is back! This ghoulish good time features projections, special effects, and music, all centered around Disney and Halloween. The show is adored for its spooky and energetic atmosphere and a must see for Halloween park goers. Jack Skellington is the “Master of Scare-omonies” with his ghost dog Zero!

About Lana Porter

Lana has never lost a Disney Trivia night. Maybe it’s the hundreds of times she’s been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, her love for Disney’s ’90’s era hand-animated musicals, or the fact that she’s often likened to cartoon characters, but Disney and its magic have a special place in her heart. Her favorite Disney experiences include the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, eating Mickey Bars on the PeopleMover, and crying during the Magic Kingdom fireworks show. One day she hopes to be chosen as the rebel spy on Star Tours. When Lana isn’t Park Hopping, she’s at home reading books of all topics, watching her favs on Disney+, or snuggling her two cats, which she swears are not named after Disney characters. She loves surprising people with her knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but admits she is still catching up with Star Wars. She is happy to combine her excitement for writing with her love for Disney-style storytelling and share what she can with the world!
