Let The Countdown Begin!

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the 2024 Countdown to Halloween blogathon. 31 days of macabre merriment that will lead us straight to the spookiest day of the year! Since October 1st is always and forever is the anniversary of Walt Disney World, which opened its gates in 1971, let's start with a look back to one of the Opening Day attractions...which also just happens to be one of the most haunting! For a unique view of the Haunted Mansion, let's see a rare glimpse of craftily done art of the Florida Manse on the Disney's Wonderful World lunch box. Issued in 1980, this splendidly produced lunch kit is covered with specially created Disney art. And this sight of the Haunted Mansion gets us off to a suitably scary (but not too scary) start. Come on back tomorrow (and all through October) for more Halloween fun. And don't forget to visit all the blogs ready to spook you during this month-long scary-bration. #CountdowntoHalloween2024

Halloween Is Headed Our Way

It's a Tulgey Wood tradition that Bugs Bunny previews our annual Countdown to Halloween for the boo-tiful season. And since today is September 30, everything spooky is coming our way starting tomorrow. So here is the merrily masquerading Bugs and some of his similarly costumed cronies from the cover of Golden Comics Digest cover dated November 1972. These Looney Tune-ers are flying high, and so will we when the spooky season starts tomorrow. Be sure and be here in Tulgey Wood tomorrow. You don't even need a costume, just an excitement for some Halloween fun.
