Each year, the Haunted Mansion gets a makeover with props and characters added to give the entire attraction a “The Nightmare Before Christmas” theme from the Tim Burton movie complete with Jack Skellington and friends.
The official launch of the Halloween Haunted Mansion and the other Halloween events at Disneyland will happen on Friday, September 26, 2008. Here’s an overview of what’s going on at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure for Halloween this year:

As a follow up to yesterday’s post on The Disney Traveler that showed the first half of the pictures I took this weekend of the Halloween decorations at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, here is part 2!
As you come through the entrance of the Magic Kingdom and step onto Main Street USA, you’re welcomed by eight giant scarecrows.

The scarecrows are placed in pairs surrounding the flagpole.  I think the one above and below must be the mayor and his wife!
