Disneyland unveils Halloween theme for Space Mountain, fireworks show
Disneyland will add a “haunted” overlay to Space Mountain and a fireworks “spooktacular” for the Halloween season, theme park officials said.
The “Halloween Time” event, which runs from Sept. 25 through Nov. 1, is included in the price of admission to the Anaheim theme park.
The “Ghost Galaxy” Space Mountain overlay, which originally premiered at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2007, features a new soundtrack and ghostly and ghoulish projections inside the darkened roller coaster building, according to Screamscape.
The Halloween-themed fireworks show, hosted by “Master of Scaremonies” Jack Skellington of “Nightmare Before Christmas” fame, will include nods to Disney villains.
Many of those villains — Cruella de Vil (”101 Dalmatians”), Captain Hook (”Peter Pan”) and Queen of Hearts (”Alice in Wonderland”) — will also be wandering the theme park, signing autographs and passing out treats.
Across the way at Disney’s California Adventure, “Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party” will run on Oct. 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 and 28-31. The separate-admission event — which includes games, music and a Disney character parade — lets costumed children trick-or-treat throughout the park.
MiceAge broke the news on both the Space Mountain overlay and Halloween fireworks over the past week.

I am actually interested to see how this goes. I know they do a spooky layover in a few other parks, so, it will be nice to get some of that flavor in SoCal. _________________ .:~*A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes*~:. yup
I must have been the only person in the world who actually enjoyed the Rockin' Space Mountain overlay a couple of years ago. Not as a permanent modification, mind you, but I thought it was a clever way to offer a radically different experience on the same trap. I have the same high hopes for the "Ghost Galaxy" makeover.

I LOVED Rockin Space Mountain! I thought it was such a good idea, and with Uncle Joe Benson leading your way, I thought they did an excellent job (It also may be because I love "Higher Ground" by the Chili Peppers). From what I have noticed, all the light up circles and neon lights are still up inside, so i would assume that the Halloween version will use those also.
