#houdelini

Saw these gems at Columbus Horror con the other day and I couldn't not get them! I saw them briefly and I was like, "oh, those look a bit like the ghosts at the phantom theater--wait--." It actually took me a few seconds to realize it was art of the phantom theater characters, I honestly wasn't expecting to see phantom theater stuff there but I saw these plus one person wearing a phantom theater T-shirt and the whole thing just really made my day. They're so worth the price! 😄

Phantom Theater Pin Designs. Based stylistically on some Haunted Mansion mystery pins which I got at Disney.

The Great Houdini Houdelini! This master magician appeared three times throughout the attractions, and was one of its most memorable characters (dare I say as much as the Maestro). A similar effect to his rabbit trick was used within the Haunted Castle at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (also designed by R&R Creative) in which a skeleton pulled a rabbit out of a cauldron. He’s one of the few animatronics to survive today in some form, as one of his figures was ‘beheaded’ before being scrapped and ended up on display within the Encore lobby exhibit.

Phantom Theater Animatronic Construction Part 2! Featuring goofy mini models of the characters which were used for reference.

The Original Character posters used in the queue of the Phantom Theater (and as set decoration in Phantom Theater Encore)

Old fanart of Houdelini from Phantom Theater. I freaking adore both him and Phantom Theater in general so much. We have the head of one of the stage hands in our living room lol.
