`LEAVE IT TO BEAVER' BUDDY TO HAUNT PLAYBOY MANSION

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- A former cast member of "Leave It To Beaver" is getting ready to turn Hugh Hefner's home into a haunted Playboy Mansion. Richard Correll -- who played Beaver's nemesis "Richard" -- is the owner of one of the largest collections of horror memorabilia in the world. The actor-turned-director will be using his creepy props to turn Hef's private Halloween party into a horrific experience with animatronic ghosts and goblins, air cannons and a creepy "Blair Witch Tour" in Hefner's backyard. Amazingly, Correll began his horror collection combing through the trash at Universal Studios during his "Leave It To Beaver" days. He says that's when he and co-star Jerry Mathers discovered the special effects department was throwing away masks and props from films like "Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein" and "Psycho."
