...looking for a recording/album I had as a kid, and put out by the folks over at Disney. It was a sound-effects enhanced story-based tour of the Disney attraction, 'Haunted Mansion'; The story dealt with two kids, a boy & girl, who reluctantly venture into the mansion, and encounter the residing ghosts and spectres, in a tour laid out much like the Disney park's ride attraction. The flip side of the album contained a cornacopia of spooky sound effects, and a selection of the songs heard during the ride.

It was years later that I found out that the boy in the audio 'Mansion' tour, was voiced by none other than 'Happy Days' star, and soon-to-be-film-director Ron Howard.

My continuing search has only wrought the soundtrack of the gawd-awful movie rendition of 'The Haunted Mansion', starring Eddie Murphy, as well as a soundtrack album, featuring only the music and songs from the ride attraction (in fact, a 50th anniversary edition was recently released).

...can anyone help???

A Spooky Night in Disney's Haunted Mansion

Disneyland Records released The Haunted Mansion as a record album in 1969. It featured the story of two teenagers, Mike (Ron Howard) and Karen (Robie Lester), who get trapped inside the Haunted Mansion, with Thurl Ravenscroft as the Narrator, Pete Renoudet as the Ghost Host, and Eleanor Audley as Madam Leota. It's worth noting that some of the effects and ideas that were planned but never permanently made it to the attraction are mentioned here; the Raven speaks in the Stretching Room and the Hatbox Ghost is mentioned during the Attic scene. It was reissued in 1998 as a cassette tape titled A Spooky Night in Disney's Haunted Mansion.

Previously, as the Haunted Mansion attraction was in its planning stages and still known as "The Haunted House," Disneyland Records released the album Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House (1964), a collection of sound effects and brief "stories in sound" introduced by a narrator. Many of the sound effects were later used in the Haunted Mansion ride. The same title was used by Disneyland Records in 1979 for a new album of sound effects and story situations.
