===Museum of the Weird===
One of the other ideas for the Haunted Mansion that Rolly and Walt explored, was the Museum of the Weird. The museum was to be a part of the entrance and queue to the Haunted Mansion. Showing guests various oddities "discovered" around the world, the Museum of the Weird would also have doubled as a restaurant (similar to Disneyland's Blue Bayou restaurant, which is a part of the connected to Disneyland's [[Pirates of the Caribbean attraction]]<ref> http://www.doombuggies.com/history2.php </ref>. Rolly Crump came up with various ideas for the museum including: coffin clocks, candle men, man-eating plants, tiki busts, a mirror with a face, and a "living gypsy cart". With the death of Walt Disney and the subsequent uncertainty about the tone of the attraction however, the Museum of the Weird portion of the attraction was eventually scrapped.
Although the Museum of the Weird was never built, ideas from the museum can be found within the Haunted Mansion itself. Examples of this include:
* The red chair that appears to have face
* The wallpaper in the "Corridor of Doors" with various faces and eyes.
* The gypsy cart that sells merchandise outside of the Disney World Haunted Mansion {originally a similar cart would have been located in the Museum of the Weird and would have interacted with guests}.<ref> http://www.doombuggies.com/history2.php <ref>
