Hitchhiking Ghosts - Grim Grinning Ghosts

[AShadowPerson]

lol

[SharkKid42]

Ezra is my fave

[allhailfrieza]

The bearded one looks like Captain Caveman

[claudesavegely]

I like how they have the skeletons from the old Disney short

[PhineasTheGhost]

I have a high voice here.

[TheVioletDobbins]

@PhineasTheGhost Hey where's Ezra???

[otherworldtrader1]

i love this music don't you

[1993joshualiu]

The graveyard reminds me of Scooby Doo and the goblin king.

[TheVioletDobbins]

My favourite ghost is the tall, skinny one. He reminds me of Jack Skellington and Dr. Facilier.

[chandlerj333]

@TheVioletDobbins the three names are ezra, phineas, and gus. Im not sure which is which though, i think the one you like is ezra.

[TheVioletDobbins]

@chandlerj333 I know their names. I'm a Haunted Mansion fan. I was just describing Ezra so non-mansion fans could understand my comment. :)

[alleennapier]

I love the old man one!

[nickiscool575]

those cloiwn ghosts are gay

[MISCrazyaboutvideos]

This version of the song is good. Not nearly as good as the original or Disney Sing-Along songs version but still likeable. :)

[Igarappappa]

@MISCrazyaboutvideos Personally I think the ghost on the left's voice is way too high.

[babysinclairfan]

Hatbox Ghost makes a cameo!!!!!!!!

[Igarappappa]

Still prefer the original version, but this isn't too bad.

[TheCupCakeKillers]

disney channel is fucking stupid

[xXkalythaXx]

1:07

Emily, my favourite bride :D

[TheCupCakeKillers]

@xXkalythaXx ok the way you spelt favorite makes me think gtfo you english bastard

[xXkalythaXx]

@TheCupCakeKillers Uhm... I'm not English ,I'm Dutch.. Fail

[TheCupCakeKillers]

@xXkalythaXx You're a fucking fag that's what you are,spelling shit in a gay way

[Norrec87]

@TheCupCakeKillers You are insulting someone over the way they spell favo(u)rite. You are seriously being belligerent and impolite over such an insignificant and pointless thing. You are going to die Angry and Alone if you take everything that seriously.

[AutobotTrickster]

I Think the guy in the middle singing is Keith David.

[moviewerewolf]

this the theme song for halloween for me who agrees ? :p

[QuizzySox14101]

why do i keep thinking that the middle, singing ghost with the hat.. looks like obama?

[SithLordRico]

love it

[DARKMASTER897]

tht was funny

[joshuaorro]

funny that they're animated even though they're from a Live-Action movie and a ride, what if Jack Sparrow was in house of mouse

[TherealRNO]

@joshuaorro: So? The ghosts are animated projections via the Pepper's Ghost effect in reality, whereas Jack Sparrow is played by living actor Johnny Depp. It doesn't work to have live characters that are acted by real people in a cartoon-only club. The Happy Hauntingly Hitchhiking Grim Grinning Ghosts get a free pass, because they're technically animated also.

[TherealRNO]

@joshuaorro: An interesting tidbit is that whilst Pirates was itself nearing completion, the Mansion was the last ride Walt himself majorly supervised before passing away, which is ironic, given that the Mansion's story & purpose was to give fans a spooky good time with 999 Grim Grinning Ghosts!

[garvnair]

@joshuaorro they provided a referrence to pirates of the carribean by making it parrots of the carribean.

[TherealRNO]

"So really, they mushed everything together and thats what made it great."

Unfortunately, that also made it convoluted & nonsensical, meaning that it's hard to decipher any sort of story when there's so many takes on what might've happened, never mind the two different brides (shy, quite "Emily" with her mysterious hearbeat & axe-weilding insan-o Constance).

[akaboombby7]

Um... why was pete in his underwear? O_o

[disneybandman]

@akaboombby7 in the episode, pete was doing his part in a costume contest and dressed up (more like undressed) as "the invisible man"

[cesarjimenezanimator]

This would make a perfect animated series, based on the Haunted Mansion ride.

[monsterhighroxiluv]

so creepy i luv it

[blacklobo82]

DISNEY  grim grinning ghosts DISNEY SERIES by disney Cool VIDEO haunted mansion

[professordino1994]

I so want to be one of the Hichhiking Ghosts!!! x)

[Gunganfan]

Huh....Never woulda pegged Ezra for a baritone.

[KaylieMcKay]

I know every word :D

[RyanRancidStaines]

Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts.

[BlackBerryizHere264]

Lol I was 2 steppin to this on the haunted mansion ride nd my nana nd lil sister jus sat there muggin >__>

[TherealRNO]

But that's one of the many tall tales about the cursed house, with another being "Nupital Doom", involving sea pirate, Captain Blood, & Prasilla (the precursor to Emily) being told, ironically, BY Constance's voice actress.

[turquoisesurprise]

I LOVE THIS!!

[Jonus04]

0:53 I like the reference to the old Silly Symphonies

[WeirdAl45231]

these ones actually sing better than the busts!

[SarahJareth]

@bigkong20 I dont know if the ghosts were scarier or the fact that pete was running around in his underwear scarier and then naked, eeewwwwwww.....

[Shiek927]

Trust me, nothing is scarier then Pete naked XD

[Littlekitty518]

at 1:02 he put the key in thekey in the lock when he already had it in the lock. XD

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

It would be SO cool if they played this on the ride, or at least in New Orleans Square

[ajkl27]

wasnt a different version of this song in an episode of Caspar the Friendly Ghost.

[TherealRNO]

@ajkl27: No. GGG is The Haunted Mansion's official theme song, with Phineas (portly), Ezra (thin), and Gus (bearded)--collectively, The Hitchhiking Ghosts--as mascots,

[Shyreenify]

This was the last show were Disney did it right.

[KisameHoshigaki707]

0:32 was that the Hatbox Ghost?

[TherealRNO]

@KisameHoshigaki707: Yes, that was The Hatbox Ghost.

[SharkKid42]

@TherealRNO I know so cool

[NewDisneySucksHard]

House of mouse

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

Such a fun song.

[Keblademasteress]

That is funny! Poor pete, you know he should have a different costume then just wearing his underwear.

[animegx45]

@Keblademasteress Why, whats a scarier costume then Pete in his underpants?

[MrDisneyguy]

it would be scary without the underware at least

[Tozzywozzy01]

That third spook. Captaaaaain Caaaaaaaaaaaaavemaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaan!!!!! Oh wait XD

[saphireroze001]

@Tozzywozzy01

he kinda dose look like captain caveman

dosnt he?

[AugustsWorld]

Now I see why they banned that cartoon

[dolphinluv2413]

1:13 I wonder if that's the Banshee from Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

[LittlePinkSnowball]

for goodness sakes, pete! put some clothes on!

[mcbowser]

@LittlePinkSnowball No never!

[littlenatnatz101]

1:18 - 1:22 PERVERT GHOSTS!!

[littlenatnatz101]

OK is it just me or does the ghost on the left at 0:18 look a bit Dr.Seuss-esque?

[thraxbaby5813]

I love this one! ♥

[jackxsparrowxluverx]

was the ghost at 0:35 the Hatbox ghosts?! this is pretty awesome

[cantosprofanae]

i dont know why, but when i was younger the part where peet is floating with the skelotins used to freak the shit out of me

[animegx45]

5 people don't come out to socialize.

[blitzyandbee180]

omg its the beating heart bride

[hauntedmansion99]

! love the creepy lady at 1:06 she looks like the bride with the beating heart.

[shadowgirl9891]

That must have been amusing. I bet Mickey is going to go back stage and tell Pete to put some clothes on and that no one wants to see his small penis, lol.

[shadowgirlaa12]

@shadowgirl9891 haha thats what i was thinking of also XDD

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

This is much better than the normal version.

It's nice, upbeat, and it sounds like New Orleans Jazz....or something

[TherealRNO]

@SuperMarkerComicBro: Disneyland's HM is at New Orleans Square, so...

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

@TherealRNO Exactly. It's perfect to play in the ride.

[TherealRNO]

@SuperMarkerComicBro: I prefer the original, honestly. I'm already miffed at the joke they dare call the 2003 film and the fact that Bleeding Heart Bride, Emily--whose tragedy was more compelling--has been replaced by Black Widow Bride, Constance (possibly the wife of the returning Hatbox Ghost, rumored to be the father of our Ghost Host, Master Gracey).

[SSdetectiveagency]

I didn't know they performed at the House of Mouse! This show keeps on getting more and more ingenious why the hell did they get rid of such a gem!?

[ladeuxiemeetoile]

I love how the Skeleton Dance made it in here! :)

[shadowgirl9891]

I didn't know the Grinning Ghosts appeared on the House of Mouse.

[ERIkPwnedYou]

cant wait for the reboot

[HonkyTonkBuffalo]

@ERIkPwnedYou Me too! Del Toro is so going to do it right!!

Cheers.

[tenshi415]

The one Halloween prank u should never pull is going to an old folks home and dressing up as the grim reaper

[Harmthuria]

@tenshi415 Really? So was I that out of line?

[tiefschwarzeseele]

"Grummelnde Geister gruseln dir was vor"! Hat das jemand auf deutsch?

[tiefschwarzeseele]

"Grummelnde Geister gruseln Dir was vor"! Hat das jemand auf deutsch?

[dorahater8]

LMAO I saw a guy dressed up as Phineas.

[a12gregjockca]

sluts. FUCK THE SLUTS!!!! that is all.

[luv6pup]

Blazing Hot!

[dundeecake]

0.52 was one of the first animations, right?

[ZoraCatone]

@dundeecake The Skeleton Dance. Yes.

[r0z3nkero]

theres so many different versions of this song :o

[savage642]

Wait what? Guillermo del toro is going to be remaking the haunted mansion? And what is the hatbox ghost?

[dogman15]

The 0:43 background/wallpaper was originally designed by Rolly Crump in the 1960s when the Mansion was being built. Other references in this cartoon include "The Skeleton Dance" (1929) and the cartoony ghosts from "Trick or Treat" (1952).

[dogman15]

At 0:43, the background is based on real wallpaper inside the Haunted Mansion's first hallway.

[darthvalor07]

1:24 That's more Pete than I needed to see. X(

[jordan11ification]

wha the name of the episode

[newguy09100]

Nice remake version of the song

[theonepiece99]

Quite catchy

[TheWarlord900]

Cant wait for the reboot by Guillermo Del Toro!

[HaloAngsta]

Who the ghost bride again?

[HaloAngsta]

How the ghost bride again?

[Ishtarru]

GAH, that's WAY more naked Pete flesh than I'm comfortable with.

[Quidam]

This version of the song doesn't seem to flow very well.

[trollheimer]

@TocinemathsKalh Because he hated working for Disney. He was horrible at animating, he didn't much care for the people and the only reason he ever wanted to work for Disney was because he thought it would be an easy job.

[TherealRNO]

@trollheimer: He's a FOOL. QUALITY takes dedication and HARD WORK.

[creepycritters]

um i think those 4 ghosts at 1:19 r gay

they took off his underwear and smiled!! O_O

[crazymoose1234]

@creepycritters Lol, I was just waiting for someone to say that. XD

[155chipmunkz]

man, disney just isn't the same anymore

[joshualiu1993]

This scared me when i first watched this.

[pokemaniac92711]

This song itself made a cameo in The Haunted Mansion, it was the first song sung by the busts. Lol

[TheInflicted]

@pokemaniac92711 Much more than a cameo. With the sole exception of the attic wedding sequence, the entire attraction has always played this theme in dozens of different variations.

[pokemaniac92711]

@TheInflicted I mean the movie

[TherealRNO]

@TheInflicted: No duh. The attraction CAME BEFORE the movie. Buddy Baker's Grim Grinning Ghosts (The Screaming Song) IS the Mansion's THEME.

[TheSupermario9991]

Pete must of wet and shit his underwear when he saw the ghost hoping around him on 0:15XDDDDD

[ThatHauntFreak]

LOVE IT!

[AnnaKrueg3r]

lolz i named the skinny one Antonio :3 when i went to Disney World and went on the Haunted Mansion.

[ThatHauntFreak]

@AnnaKrueg3r

Their names are Gus, Ezra, and Phineas.

[KDay5161]

lol @ 1:20

[CoolioRockstar]

I would like it if i get to create a cartoon for this show if it'll come back

[foxfan1]

@155chipmunkz actually it is.....

[MrDisneyguy]

@155chipmunkz it is on itunes, well this song style

[cardcaptor15]

@155chipmunkz It is on iTunes. Look for Disney house of Mouse.

[Tailikku1]

@cardcaptor15 No it's not

[MrDisneyguy]

@155chipmunkz it is

[155chipmunkz]

@MrDisneyguy ok ok i get it

[stevenskywalker1993]

I love this song.

[bgdjohnny8]

Cute



[daviddarkmaster]

I like the fact they did this song in the show; Its one of the most underrated songs of Disney. Bittersweet however; because the hitchhiking ghosts were drawn to be kid friendly, and are much creepier and scarier looking on the disney ride.

[TheOtakunreview]

Who knew Ezra could sing like Theo Ravenscroft? XD

I wonder who can guess the names of the three spirits?

[sudmalis100]

poor pete

XD

[eddievaliant1]

The lead singer ghost sounds like Keith David

[snowwhitemermaid]

I love this song!

[TheAmericanMedley]

I want this back on Disney Channel. Forget about Sonny with a Chance and Princess Protection Program!

[MrDisneyguy]

@TheAmericanMedley you forgot about hannah montana and high school musical

[TheAmericanMedley]

@MrDisneyguy Those, too.

[TherealRNO]

@MrDisneyguy: Unless you're saying that those shows stink, they do NOT DESERVE to be on HoM.

[sudmalis100]

the hamony ghost are too sqeaky..., but still good

[84ccipollini]

I always disliked HOM. I just hate Mickey.

I will agree, this was the last vestige of DISNEY before little talentless pretty boys (jonas Brothers) and Hookers (Cyrus) came along.

[MizzArtiztic]

not as good as the original, but still cute.

[drawitbig]

I like the voice of the bold ghost.

[drawitbig]

@drawitbig I mean Ezra. I like Ezra's voice.

[TherealRNO]

Idea. Given that George Gracey is Edward Yale Gracey's father and Constance would be George's wife who did him in, Emily--Edward's fiance--would be Constance's would-be-daughter. Not happy with this, Constance enlisted the aid of seer Madame Leota and they made sure Emily was out of the way. Edward then hung himself out of greif. Nevertheless, Emily's persistant heartbeat can still be heard, detailing her presence.

[TheOtakunreview]

@TherealRNO No no that's only partially true. See Emily, the bleeding heart bride was Edward Gracey's second wife and actually his second cousin. Leota was hired by Gracey in an attempt to get closer to his long deceased father. Leota, jealous of Emily for taking Gracey away from her locked her in a trunk in the attic where she died of asphyxiation. Constance, the heartless bride or black widow bride was Graceys thrid wife and Leota killed her too.

[TherealRNO]

@TheOtakunreview: But the Master committed suicide over Emily death, so Connie couldn't have beheaded him, making her actually seem to be the wife of The Hatbox Ghost, whom this reboot is meant to feature. By proxy, that makes her Yancey's wife, George's mother-to-be, and Emily's future mother-in-law.

[TheOtakunreview]

@TherealRNO (Continued) When Gracey found out that Leota was the one killing his wives (and visitors to the mansion) he confronted her and she cast a spell to trap him in her cyrstal ball. Gracey escaped to the attic and hung himself to escape the spell which in turn backfired and trapped Leota in her own ball.

[TherealRNO]

@NaiTaiDai: I was answering another, who thought Emily was Constance.

Gus was insane, and so has a chain ball attached to keep him grounded. He was done in via the Mansion's curse when he went after one of the guests. Phineas was said to be a ex-circus member who was crushed on literally by the Bearded Lady. Ezra met his end trying to halt Madame Leota's plan to have Master Gracey for herself. I wonder how The Hat Box Ghost falls into the story though, since he is present for the song, too.

[TheOtakunreview]

@TherealRNO You got Gus right but the story is that Gus was a paitent t a mental institution and Ezra and Phineous were his friends there. Leota demanded that anyone who shared blood with George be broguht to the mansion and so Edward had Gus and his friends transfered to the mansion. Gus was the one who killed the entire opera in the backyard but soon drowned in the well. Ezra is the skeleton and he was crushed by a circus carnie fat lady because he loved big women.<c>

[sudmalis100]

@TheOtakunreview i thought gus was the one with the beard...

[TheOtakunreview]

@TherealRNO <c> Phineas was a snake oils sales man who believed his product made you goregous and he got poisoned from drinking too much of his own elixer. The Hat Box ghost or Yancey was the mansions butler when George Gracey owned the mansion. Before driving an axe into the skull of her husband, Mrs. Gracey, Edward's mother, chopped Yancey's head off and stuck it in a hat box and threw his body in the river. Se then murdered George Gracey and her portrait still hangs in Gracey's Gallery.

[mokana713]

@TheOtakunreview

The phantom manor (disneyland paris) actually is the only one with a true story....

[TherealRNO]

@mokana713: That's because Bleeding Heart Bride Emily & Black Widow Bride Constance have divergent stories & Emily has more than one tale tell about how she died.

[mokana713]

@TherealRNO

well its fanon the phantom manor has a canon story

[TherealRNO]

@mokana713: Phantom Manor is the only one with a solid story, but that's because of the two different takes on the Mansion. Claude Coats wanted it shockingly scary & Marc Davis wanted it funny in a campy way. So to appease both sides, both approaches were incorporated, with the first half being Coats' model up until after the attic & then everything from the graveyard on was Davis' model. The theme (Grim Grinning Ghosts [The Screaming Song]) itself lends to the mixing of concepts, as well.

[mokana713]

@TherealRNO

i know about the two sides... it also went through many concepts... nautical themed, a museum of odd things, a walk through ride featuring disney characters, etc, etc. So really, they mushed everything together and thats what made it great.

[TherealRNO]

@TheOtakunreview: And Constance COULD BE Yancey's wife, making "Ghost Host" Master George Gracey her son and "Bleeding Heart Bride" Emily her daughter-in-law, and since Constance was hatching-ly evil and Leota was devious and jealous over the Master's affairs, they probably sought to do Emily in.

[TherealRNO]

@TheOtakunreview: So MAYBE Connie IS Mrs. Gracey (George Senior), mother of Master Gracey, master of the Mansion (and by proxy, according to many fans, The Ghost Host), & thereby, mother-in-law to Master Gracey's mistress (Lillian, a tight-rope walker who fell into a gator pit) & "Emily", the predating Beating Heart Bride, seeing as Yancey--aka ol' Hatbox--is said to return following this new film.

[copperkiddo]

@TherealRNO I like what all of you are doing, adding to the story. But I just need to know, where did you guys get all these different stories from, because I want in. All of you telling different stories are really giving the Mansion, so much more character. Thanks for adding more to the mystery.

[TherealRNO]

@copperkiddo: Most of these stories--a majority of which are just tall tales told by the Imagineeers and Cast Members who worked on or at the attraction over various years (including Connie's own VA, who relayed one of Emily's various stories in the recorded "Nuptial Doom")--can be found at fansite doombuggies[dot]com, in the alternate reality comic book by Roman Dirge, or as per the extensive book by Jeff Baham (The Unofficial History of Disney's Haunted Mansion) at a price of $14.99.

[NaiTaiDai]

I know HER story, but I mean what are the stories of those three men?

[StrongGuy157]

I Really Like This Halloween Song!

[StrongGuy157]

I Like This Halloween Song Alot!

[KDay5161]

Is the supposed to be Constance @ 1:08???

[TherealRNO]

@KDay5161: It was Emily, the original Bleeding Heart Bride. She originally lacked a face until she was repositioned. Her heartbeat can still be heard in the Mansion, but Constance is in her place, brandishing her axe.

[tigerqueen007]

@TherealRNO I heard the original story of the Bleeding Heart Bride and it was terrifying. The story is here on youtube.

[NaiTaiDai]

Ya know, I always wondered if Pete is now meant to be a manx cat due to his lack of a tail.

[NaiTaiDai]

What's the story behind the hitchhikers?

[TherealRNO]

@NaiTaiDai: Gus was insane, so he had a chain ball wrapped around him to keep him grounded. He was done in through the Mansion's haunted curse when he went after one of the guests. Phineas was said to be a ex-circus member who was crushed on literally by the Bearded Lady. The skinny one met his end trying to interfere in Madame Leota's plan to get Master Gracy for herself. In fact, it was Leota who did in most of Gracy's female consorts, including Emily, the original bride.

[TherealRNO]

@NaiTaiDai: Continuing, Master Gracy unearthed Leota's trickery, trapping her into her own crystal ball. Distraught over his disasterous luck, Master Gracy hung himself. The newest bride that Master Gracy has taken in--thanks to Emily's "mysterious disappearance" (i.e. Constance probably scared her into hiding)--has her sights set on making the Mansion hers, even at the expense of Master Gracy and the other 999 no-longer-happy haunts.

[joshualiu1993]

This has been stuck in my head?!

[daddyraw]

This a AWESOME!! Even the HATBOX GHOST has a cameo!! Love it!!
