You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Not-So-Lonesome Ghosts Find Friends At Haunted Mansion

Published in the Fall 1989 issue of Disney News, this marvelously macabre mashes up the transparently silly trio of spooks from Walt Disney's Lonesome Ghosts (1937), Mickey's pals Goofy, Donald and Daisy (but not Mickey himself), and the classic Disney theme park attraction, Haunted Mansion. Each of the Mickey's friends have their own reaction, right down to Daisy being ok with a ghostly appertain as long as he's winking at her. The delightful spooky-season painting by Disney illustrator Don Williams is a feast-for-the-eyes Countdown to Halloween treat.
