This blog is moving!

Today I'm excited to announce that Haunted Mansion Collectibles is moving to a new home! Our new site will still offer the same material, but in a much better format in which to showcase my pictures more easily. Anything and Everything HMC will still be here for reference sake, but I will no longer be updating this blog. Please don't forget to update your bookmarks.

Our new home can be found at www.HauntedMansionCollectibles.com or click here.

Another Haunted Mansion Tattoo

I received an email from one of our blog readers, Heather, showing off the picture of her new tattoo. I love it when fans show off their ink! I love it even more when they share what they love most about the mansion. Funny, it seems like so many of us fans have fond memories from childhood....

Heather had this to say:

"Wow, I've been a fan since I was a kid. I remember my brother and I standing in line waiting while my mother went to ride the train. Lol, this was back in the 70's when you could leave your kids alone.
I've been to both parks but I'm a WDW girl through and through though I'm desperately wanting to see Phantom Manor. It looks so different.
The HHG's are my favorite. I'd say all the wall coverings (ie. Wallpaper, changing portraits and ghosty picture frames) would totally be my fave if they counted as characters."




I love this tat! Can't wait to see it filled in. Keep us posted, Heather!


Also, on a side note, Disney artist Javier Soto will be featured this week on Extinct-Attractions-Club.com weekly podcast, talking about the Haunted Mansion 40th event. Be sure to tune in!

Tightrope Girl Tattoo

Susan sent me an email of a tattoo she found on the internet. Its not hers (and I invite the owner of said tattoo to email me PLEASE!), but she thought it was so amazing, she had to share! I had seen this tattoo on doombuggies, but I forgot to save the picture, so thank you, Susan, for reminding me of this inspiring piece of work!

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!! And Susan, when you get your HM tattoo, be sure to send us a pic!




**Update**
On a personal note, I want to send a thank you for all the emails of encouragement and support. I'm truly touched by your words, and feel the embrace of your thoughts and prayers.

As difficult as it has been to let some of our favorite pieces go, I find joy in knowing that others will have their own history with these pieces. And the money I've made has gone to pay our mortgage, so its going to a really good cause!! :) We're not out of the woods yet, and we have other pieces in mind to sell, so be sure to check back in!

Hatbox Ghost Tattoo

My husband and I met Ste3ve thru Doombuggies.com and I'm thrilled that he allowed me to feature some of his cool ink.




Ste3ve was one of the first people to chat with me on Doombuggies and made me feel welcomed. I've always been thankful for that. He's also has one hell of a collection, some of which I'll be sharing at a later date.

The Duelists

I was always fascinated by the two ginormous portraits in the Grand Ballroom of the Haunted Mansion. These two men, locked in an eternal battle, were my favorite characters in that room. So I was thrilled when Sam decided to use his legs as a canvas to showcase The Duelists.

I've seen quite a few Haunted Mansion tattoos, but I've never seen anything like this!



If you have a great Haunted Mansion tattoo, please send me a picture at hauntedmansioncollectibles@gmail.com! I would love to share it here.
