Oh no, there is peanut butter in my chocolate! Oh no, there is chocolate in my peanut butter! This is what we imagine Imagineering was like when Claude Coats and Marc Davis were given the reigns of the Haunted Mansion Development! While they both wanted different atmospheres and approaches, Coats' approach for moody and spooky and Davis' knack for laughter, come together to make the Mansion what we all know and love today!

We have reached another milestone in the history of the Mansion, but it is a somber one. Walt has passed and the future of the Mansion is not clear without the man in charge. With this event we must also say goodbye to one of our favorite Imagineers, Rolly Crump, as his involvement with the project would end shortly after.
