Haunted Mansion, the Little Long-Playing Record

Cory Doctorow at 3:49 pm Thu, Nov 1, 2012

Here's the audio from Disney's classic "Story and Song from the Haunted Mansion," narrated by Thurl Ravenscroft, starring a young -- Andy Griffith show era -- Ronnie Howard. I had this in the original Disneyland Little Long Playing Record edition, and played it to death, as you might expect.

Metafilter's Hippybear has included links to lots of supplementary material in a MeFi post, too.

There's also a beautiful CD reissue from Disney, with excellent liner notes and additional data-tracks with the visuals from the original Little Long-Playing Record.

The Story Of The Haunted Mansion (via MeFi)

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.

I had the board game… not the Clue one, but the Lakeside one from the early 1970s. The gameplay was okay, but I always found the artwork enthralling.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the record before.

  That game was amazing. Still have mine. I believe they did a reissue, too.

I LOVED this record when I was little. Must’ve listened to it a thousand times.

It’s almost as good as The Cannibal Song from Jiminy Cricket’s Addition + Subtraction album that “teaches” math. Thurl Ravenscroft and Jiminy sing this most macabre and awesome song from a Disney album. I wore out the groove on that record in the 70s.
