Rolly Crump (previously) was one of the weirdest, most bohemian of the original group of Imagineers; when he was tasked with developing concepts for the oft-stalled and perennially beleaguered Disneyland Haunted Mansion, he came up with the Museum of the Weird, a guided walkthrough spook house filled with mystical illusions, and psychedelic, daemonic imagery.
Haunted Mansion superfan Jeff "Chef Mayhem" Baham sent me a link to the Van Eaton Galleries Disneyland auction, which closes on June 25 — as with other Van Eaton auctions, this one is a trove of super-rare, drool-inspiring old merch, props and handicrafts.
Having raised $1.7M from an auction of Disneyland memorabilia and rarities earlier this year, Van Eaton Galleries are holding a second auction of cast-offs from the Disney themeparks.
Later this month, more than 1,000 pieces of Disneyland memorabilia will be auctioned off, including a doll from It's A Small World, a skeleton from Pirates of the Caribbean, original Tomorrowland art by Bruce Bushman, and a ton more.
