Mousetalgia Episode 523: Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash, Haunted Mansion origins
For Mousetalgia’s special Halloween episode, the “PDX Sanderson Sisters” – prize-winners from Freeform’s Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash – join us to share some behind the scenes secrets from the recent production, which was filmed at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The cosplay trio talk about their origin story, the Freeform show, hanging with Doug Jones, going viral, and life as the Sandersons. Then, in a special spooky Haunted Mansion moment, we wonder: was Walt Disney tracking down the famous ghosts of historical Europe for his retirement home for happy haunts? We report, you decide. Plus – Kristen wraps up a month of spooky musical arrangements by mashing up the Haunted Mansion and Hong Kong’s Mystic Manor in a moving arrangement; we share our favorite Disneyland treats; and gingerbread finally comes to the Haunted Mansion. SPECIAL NOTE: Jeff and Dave will be hosting a special panel presentation on Disneyland at Mouse-Con on Sunday, November 4 in Concord, CA. Visit Mouse-Con.com for more information.
