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.

Something Wicked For Halloween

Ready for a maximum of treats and a minimum of tricks as the Countdown to Halloween continues? Disney's Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) has become a Halloween favorite. Below is a story while the film was in production in the Studio newsletter Disney Newsreel, from the new backlot small town set to the elaborate homes built inside Stage 4. One fun fact for hardcore Disney fans not mentioned in the article is that Royal Dano portrays lightening rod salesman Tom Fury. This veteran character actor is perhaps better known as the performer hand chosen by Walt Disney as the voice of Abraham Lincoln in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
