How can you subject matter a room around Disneyland's Haunted Mansion?
-What type of color of walls and guide (stripes, etc.)
-What type of accessories (candelabras, chandelier, etc.)
-What loving of portraits/paintings (I have the HM attraction poster, and a watercolor of the HM, but what painting, preferably from the ride, would work best?)
-Type of flooring
-And any other Misc. info would help as ably.
Thanks for any help within advance! I'm excited to hear your thinking!

lots of black and gray color with some white accent .....candle stick holders with candles,the painting u already have sounds great, wood floors next to a deep walnut stain would be wonderful, halloween decor will soon be at the stores u can bring some great accesories from that also....
1) For the wall color, I found these Sherwin Williams colors that you might like: Dark Night, Rainstorm, Cloak Gray, Cyberspace, Red Bay. You could pick two & do cavernous vertical stripes or a big diamond pattern would create the room look tall. If you want the corridor to look longer, then you could do a wide open horizontal stripe.
2) Put one of these gothic style tiles on the wall:

And one of these chandeliers:

Any of these wrought iron pieces would look well brought-up, especially the pedestal or console table beside a candlabra on it:

3) "American Gothic" by Grant Wood, "Whistler's Mother" by James Abbott McNeill Whistler; Any of these Victorian Romance style paintings would do:

You might also consider sagging dark velvet curtains around one of these painting with gold ingots tassled tie-backs.
4) A plush dark red mat, or a dark strong wood with a runner rug.
Sounds resembling a cool project. Good luck.
Clearly some of these other folks have never see the inside of the Mansion.
The only wallpaper specifically commercially available is from the foyer. I am partial to the Monster Face wallpaper and created my own stencil. I painted an accent wall blue and stencilled the face in black. It took a long time.
Candelabras and chandeliers: sounds close to you don't have much room to work surrounded by. If these wouldn't impede your access to the rest of your bedroom, go for it.
Portraits and photos from the Mansion are available on Ebay. You can also find lenticular shifting portraits similar to those in the Mansion at Haunted Portraits (linked below).
For flooring I'd suggest hardwood planks near a wide mat over, rather close to the Never Ending Hallway. And of course, brawny velvet draperies to set off the entrance.
I've also coupled to a fellow who did up his home office as a nod to the mansion, basically to give you a look at what others enjoy done.
