 Filmtracks: The Haunted Mansion (Mark Mancina)
The Haunted Mansion: (Mark Mancina) Never has Disneyland's New Orleans Square had such overwhelmingly elegant treatment on the big screen as in 2003, when Walt Disney Studios decided to take both of its famed Cajun amusement park rides and translate them onto the big screen.
The history of music for the original haunted house attractions had always played a much bigger role in the ride itself than had Pirates of the Caribbean, with a CD of audio commemorating the opening of the haunted mansions in Disney parks around the world just a few years ago.
While both fuller scores merit praise for Mancina's efforts in 2003, The Haunted Mansion is the highlight of the year for the composer, running at full steam through a joyride of haunting, lyrical music and the all-out crashing of terror.
