Stephen Worth, Director of the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, very generously passed on scans of a wonderful vintage Disneyland document to post here at 2719 Hyperion. The Haunted Mansion Supplement appears to have been a supplemental publication to the internal newsletter Backstage Disneyland, and was produced to commemorate the 1969 opening of the Haunted Mansion.

Soupy Sales pranked
On the Soupy Sales show in the 1950s and 1960s, there was an ongoing gimmick where there'd be a knock at the door and Soupy would open it to reveal a surprise celebrity guest. The best part of the gag is that neither Soupy nor the audience knew who the celebrity would be. Once though, Soupy's crew p... More.
