This frozen view of Disneyland Paris's Phantom Manor shows you what Disney had in mind with their old "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House" album!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

      That’s a film I would like to see: in a high-pitched voice “Here’s Miiiiickeeeeey!” and axe through the door.

    Bro, outstanding reference to something I had totally forgotten about. I love it when a forgotten memory reappears.

    Ummmmmmm, why does Euro Disney’s “Phantom House” look exactly like Heritage Park’s “Prince House”???

      Actually, the Phantom Manor has a Mansard roof, common in Second Empire style architecture, but the Prince House (based on photos elsewhere) is more a Queen Anne style house with gabled (but not mansard) roofline, with the exception of the tower. Architecturally speaking, while they may be of an overlapping style time periods (Victorian era, specifically), they would be classed in different categories, and certainly not described as looking “exactly like” each other.

        Nice research Anon. (Though I do feel a bit like I just got served. But given I mis-spelled ‘research’ and was only saved by spell check I guess I can’t get too self-righteous!)
