As far as Walt Disney World rides go, the Haunted Mansion is right up there with Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain. But despite how Halloween appropriate it is, it doesn’t get nearly the love that Captain Jack Sparrow does every October 31st. It’s about time we changed that—especially when there are such great Haunted Mansion costumes out there.
If you’re planning on paying homage to the ride’s characters at a Disney theme park, it’s best to double-check that your costume doesn’t infringe on its guidelines (no capes below the waist, no masks, and so on—find the rules for Walt Disney World and Disneyland here). All of these options are pretty safe bets, provided you don’t pose for pictures with other guests, sign autographs or act as if you work for the park (all no-no’s, per Disney’s rules).
The Best Haunted Mansion-Inspired Costumes to Try
1. Madame Leota
She’s arguably the star of the show! All you need is a brocade caplet to serve as the “tablecloth” and the iconic blue wig, but if you really want to take things to the next level, you could wear a “crystal ball” helmet with some fairy lights strewn around it.
