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.

Ghosts In The Hall

A spooky Disney TV production created for the Disney’s Wonderful World anthology series, “The Ghosts of Buxley Hall” conjured up some intrusive specters, thanks to fun Disney special effects—including the "haunted" portrait itself, painted by David Mattingly who was head of the Disney Matte Department having studied under and worked with the Ellenshaws. This TV Guide article from summer of 1980 gave a glimpse of the ghostly goings on. Broadcast in two parts on December 21 1980 and January 4, 1981, these particular poltergeists seem picture perfect for Countdown to Halloween 2024.
