Haunted Mansion, Halloween and a Disney Author

Halloween is upon us, so it’s time to chat about the Haunted Mansion, scary and not-so-scary movies, costumes, and more. 



Chris Lucas is an actor, voiceover artist, stand-up comic, a TV and movie historian, and Disney expert, including being the author of Top Disney: 100 Top Ten Lists of the Best of Disney, from the Man to the Mouse and Beyond. Chris joined DisneyBizJournal.com’s Ray Keating on the PRESS CLUB C Podcast to talk about Chris’ return to stand-up, and pretty much all things Halloween, including the Haunted Mansion (park rides and movies), Universal Monster movies, Disney’s forays into spooky stuff, and the critical debate over which 60’s TV show was better – The Addams Family or The Munsters

 

Other burning questions are asked and answered. Why do Harry Potter films seemingly fit better at Christmas than at Halloween? And what’s the deal with the Twilight Zone, or lack thereof, at this spooky time of year? And what does The Odd Couple’s Oscar Madison have to do with Halloween?!

 

Enjoy the conversation in the PRESS CLUB C’s “Episode #125: Haunted Mansion and Halloween Movies with Chris Lucas.”
