Sorry guys, had problems posting last night.
Anyhoo.... time to start getting excited about Halloween and how better to do it than with a question about the Haunted Mansion.
Name all the 999 happy haunts.
just kidding!
OK, this is the real question: Here are 12 areas of the Haunted Mansion attraction, can you put them in the order you find them as you go through the attraction:
a Attic
b Clock Hall
c Conservatory
d Corridor of Doors
e Corridor of Haunted Portraits
f Crypt
g Endless Hallway
h Grand Hall
I Graveyard
j Foyer
k Séance Circle
l Stretching Room
Hurry back.....

Well, that one certainly sorted the ghouls from the ghosts!
The answer is:
1. Foyer : Guests gather around a Victorian fireplace. There are a few coals left in the fireplace, and their glowing embers set the stage for what is to come. Errie purple lights illuminate the coals from somewhere above. The face of the fireplace grate is that of a gruesome abstract skull. Suddenly, a deep, ominous voice echoes through the chamber, but no one can be seen anywhere in the room... The fireplace is flanked on either side by large doors, and suddenly one of the doors silently rolls open, revealing a large, and better lit, gallery. Guests slowly file inside...
2. Stretching Room : An eerie-lit setting without doors or windows where paintings seems to "stretch" and guests are shown "the coward's way out."
3. Corridor of Haunted Portraits: Where each lightning flash "ages" and changes portraits from what they seem to be to what they really are.
4. Endless Hallway: A misty passageway that beckons guests to enter, but offers no end.
5. Conservatory: Inside, a casket sits amidst the cobwebs in a room cluttered with plants and flowers -- all deceased. Outside the broken glass window an eerie landscape is shrouded in fog.
6. Corridor of Doors: A chill hangs silently in the air, and then suddenly, the frightful sounds of unseen figures.
7. Clock Hall: A grandfather gargoyle clock solemnly tolls the hour -- always "13:00".
8. Seance Circle: The spirits respond as Madam Liotta chants incantations in her crystal ball.
9. Grand Hall: Where a birthday party is taking place around the long, dusty dining room table. The "Ghostess" has invited many of her friends of the spirit world to share her birthday cake, to dance and play as ghosts of many periods in history appear and disappear as the pipe organ sounds a merry waltz.
10. Attic: Where the sound of a beating heart echoes through a musty room filled with monstrous memories.
11. Graveyard: The private park and playground of the spooks who inhabit the Haunted Mansion, where crypt doors creak and tombstones quake as the spirits join in to sing "Grim Grinning Ghosts". While medieval minstrels play, a Victorian-era King and Queen balance a teeter-totter on a gravestone... marble busts suddenly come to life to join the chorus... playful spirits ride their bicycles around and around the tombstones... a headless knight sings... and picnicking ghosts raise their glasses in toast to one another and the wonderful fun they're having.
12. Crypt: A somber setting where in contrast, a trio of happy hitchhikers grin ghoulishly as they seek a way out... preferably the seat right next to you.
Well done to all of you who got it nearly right... only one person got it completely right!
