Do you believe in real haunted houses, ghosts, etc.?
I’ve never had a paranormal encounter myself, and would have to consider myself a skeptic – although I did have a second cousin who swears he had a close encounter of the second kind in his family’s vineyard in the Napa Valley back in the late ‘70s. I don’t think he was crazy or lying, so I’ll leave that door open. But as far as ghosts are concerned, no, I don’t believe in them – at least, not in the sense that people can die and stick around haunting the rest of us on earth.
What is fear?
Not being able to predict what’s around the corner is 95 percent of “fear” to me.
Who’s your average customer?
Wow – DoomBuggies’ guest list is really diverse. I’m glad to have found there are so many like-minded boils and ghouls out there! I think Disney’s Haunted Mansion attractions have a lot of crossover appeal to different fan bases – the haunted house fans, the Disney park fans, the Goths, the Nightmare Before Christmas fans, the special effects fans, and stage magicians – there’s a lot of common ground to be found in this attraction.
What are your 5-year goals?
To keep on providing people a great archive of memories, facts, and media from Disney’s fantastic Haunted Mansion, of course! Beyond that, who knows? I also operate a fan site for Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction called TellNoTales, and have a website dedicated to Halloween fun called YourHalloween. Next year, I hope to put a little attention into YourHalloween to make it a fun destination for fans of spooky stuff. But I have all sorts of irons in the fire, and sometimes I even surprise myself by what comes next!
