Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter visit Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday
2Jan2009 Filed under: Disney, Theme Parks, Travel Author: Ricky 
From www.etonline.com:
Quirky filmmaker Tim Burton gets a first glimpse of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction, which is based on his 1993 film ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’
Burton was accompanied by his partner — actress Helena Bonham Carter — for his first look at the mansion, which undergoes a Christmas makeover each year at the Anaheim, CA theme park.
I would have loved to have the chance to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday with Jack Skellington’s creator. I can only imagine the stories he could tell.
What shocks me is that ET (are they still called Entertainment Tonight or just ET?) reports that this is Burton’s first visit to this holiday version of The Haunted Mansion, inspired by his film The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would have thought he would have seen it by now, as Jack Skellington and friends have been taking over the attraction from Halloween through the end of the year for 7 years.

I believe Tim has visited the Tokyo Disneyland version while he was in Japan promoting ‘Corpse Bride’. Strange..
