History of Disney's Haunted Mansion, Part 2

[glassesgurlmusicluve]

@goosebumps2002 thats a lie because harry poter not even made by disney and thy madr one in universal and its to small for ome and this is a original

[goosebumps2002]

I heard they might close down this ride next month an replace it with a harry potter ride.

[saverio1e]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[colbygarrrett]

if they absolutely HAVE to associate the film with the ride, then i hope they make it as unnoticeable as possible. perhaps add a skeleton portrait of eddie murphy on the vanity against the wall as you turn into the attic. something subtle.

[kdj29]

the movie sucks. but i would buy the movie just to have this bonus material. I loved the making and history of pirates ride on the first carribean dvd.

[samanddeanfan2009]

i don't remember the knight character. and i don't know what the hat box ghost is.

[goodgleekboy]

6:05 hatbox ghost

[Kaylyn2006]

Madam leota=malificent of sleeping beauty

[monsterhighroxiluv]

i want 2 go so BAD who has gone

[Gaius8666a]

Thanks for posting this!

[MrHeyBradley]

I saw the movie and I never even know there was a haunted mansion ride until like 5 years ago...

[perkyboy13]

Good to see Hatbox Ghost made an appearance, too bad he was just holding the handle instead of the whole box...

[LaHuerca]

This ride used to scare the shit out of me when I was little... I'm 16 now, so it's not really as scary. Yes, I still have a fear of dead things. Don't judge me, please.

[pinatalover500]

Hey, wasn't that the Hatbox ghost at 2:14?

[nuclear1250]

@pinatalover500 don't ya mean 2:29? yeah, its him alright

[pinatalover500]

@nuclear1250

No, 2:14. On the right.

[FantasmicDragon1]

@pinatalover500 Yep! That's him just without his top hat. I hope he comes back.

[MyHello911]

who is the guy AT 4:37

[2degucitas]

In 1970 I was 10 yrs old and those pop-up heads scared me!!! I always hated that part of the ride!!

[pikachufan1336]

Rumer says Walt Disney is the 1000 ghost, cause he died in the middle of the making

[phantompersian]

@pikachufan1336 Maybe, but you have your facts wrong. Mr. Disney died actually right before they stated work on DisneyWorld. Look it up if you don't believe me!

[pikachufan1336]

@phantompersian I know I know

i was just kidding lol XD



[TherealRNO]

@phantompersian: Yes, but eerily enough, HM was truly the last ride with his personal touch before he died.

[Iloveiamcrisc]

I LOVE THIS RIDE ITS THE BEST ONE AT DISNEYLAND!!!

[manu4455]

@Iloveiamcrisc you mean Disneyworld

[dwilson94]

@manu4455 the ride is at Disneyland too. It appeared there first.

[Iloveiamcrisc]

@manu4455 no, i mean DISNEYLAND. :)

[thediscopimpernell]

Will Ferrell at 4:37

[CirqueLaTerror]

they must have stolen those 'weird things' from the Addams Family house XD

[RatKingII]

the movie was only ment to tell the story, that means ride shouldnt change(they better not change it) I liked disney land before tarzans tree house better than the current

[missingerfurever]

i love this ride...its soo cool how they made it and look like real ghost

[TherealRNO]

TVgirlz10: Yeah. The movie stunk and neither stayed true to the rumored stories and origin of the Mansion or remained faithful to the mixture of darkness and humor that made the ride awesome.

[agwellin]

1:57 Does anyone else think this bust looks exactly like Wesley Snipes?

[StacyAndAmanda42]

oh so that's how they do the illusions! i really luv this ride!!!!

[verticalcinema87]

if they ever change the attraction to be like that pathetic excuse for a film. i will never go back... ever... eveeerrr. lol.

[METALmARiOKID91]

6:25 cool

[CrazeeDaizee92]

wow, this was really interesting to watch to see how they came up with it and how they accomplished all the effects, thanks for posting :)

[TVgirlz10]

I don't think that they should change the ride to be like the movie. I've been on the Haunted Mansion more times than I can count, but I've only been able to last through the movie once. The ride is MUCH better than the movie. Plus, the ride is a classic. My Grandmother remembers going on it back when it was new in 1970.

[MacEricG]

I agree. The Haunted Mansion movie was 90% stinker, and it would make a lot of fans angry if they changed it.

Some people are even a bit irked that they changed the bride in the attic into the high-tech spectre that now resides there. I'm okay with it, but would have rather seen them bring back the Hatbox Ghost — which was scrapped shortly after the ride started because they couldn't pull off the effect with the technology available at that time.

[TherealRNO]

MacEricG: Plus, Constance's story--of killing her husbands--doesn't work with the rumored history of the Mansion, but it was said that Leota was the one who did in all of Master Gracy's previous escorts, jealous that she couldn't have him. Master Gracy hung himself out of greif and is The Ghost Host, so Constance killing him when he's already dead just doesn't fly.

[TheRadical42]

@MacEricG Did you hear that they're remaking the Haunted Mantion movie? It was announced that director Guillermo del Toro is doing the movie and it is going to be scary. "Children will scream," he said. I hear he's going to focus on the Hatbox Ghost, if you know him.

[mormonhippie]

@TheRadical42

I hope children will scream. It should be scary, but I don't want it to be gross.

[TherealRNO]

@TheRadical42: I guess that confirms Constance (Black Widow Bride) to be the wife of George Yancey Sr. (aka The Hatbox Ghost), rumored to be father of George 'Edward' Gracey Jr. (The Ghost Host) and thus, relative to Emily (Bleeding Heart Bride; Master Gracey's wife-to-be).

[XxRiiandNaoxX]

@MacEricG DEL TORO IS MAKING NEW HAUNTED MANSION MOVIE honestly i couldnt be more excited and the movie focuses alot on the hatbox ghost and heres the best part.....ITS NOT A COMEDY i am a horror fanatic and i am obsessed with disney and this is a full on "pans labrynth meets the haunted mansion" experience in imax 3d i couldnt be more happy about this i cant wait untill it gets out i will watch it over 999 times, and i hope they air it on the rivers of america like potc.

[pikmin1318]

@MacEricG I think the original bride was better, they should of just projected a mouth there and added a voice, but now, she doesn't have the heartbeat. I want to know, where do they put the old brides and the Hatbox Ghost.

[copperkiddo]

@MacEricG I don't think you have to worry about that. I heard a rumor that the Hatbox Ghost might return after the release of the new Haunted Mansion movie.

[saquya3]

@copperkiddo new movie? they're making a sequel?

[copperkiddo]

@saquya3 No not a sequel, just a whole new movie. It's no way related to the 2003 flick. This new one is going to be PG-13 (it's a Del Toro movie you know). He siad it's going to be scary and fun at the same time, just like the ride.

[saquya3]

@copperkiddo OMG *_* I can't wait.

[TherealRNO]

@MacEricG: Well, with the Del Toro revamp film, we may get Hatty back. But dang, I miss Emily. Her tragic story beats wacko Constance any day.

[SkittleE275]

@TVgirlz10 they would've done it by now so there not going to

[pistache7]

@TVgirlz10 Yaeh, instead build a new house next to it.

[RAR5391]

@TVgirlz10 I know you commented a year ago, but I don't think they will change it because the movie was based on the ride, loosely, so I don't know who would even think of such

even when Pirates came out the only thing they did was add Jack, which most people wanted, they did change it just added one or two animatronics, so I don't think this is even going through their minds

and shortly after Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror was opened a movie based loosely on it was made as well and they didn't

[TherealRNO]

@RAR5391: Plus, the PotC movies were awesome. The 2003 HM film with Eddie Murphy turned a tragic love story into mostly a cornball romp.

[HateJustinBieber1000]

@TVgirlz10 you mean eddie murphy's haunted mansion? the ride has nothing to do with the movie the ride started in the 60's i guess and the movie is in 2003

[Paati888]

I love the Haunted Mansion ! <3

[SmallvilleSoraKent]

They should make the ride like the movie.

[chickenballnog]

@SmallvilleSoraKent They did,

[SmallvilleSoraKent]

Is there a real Haunted Mansion somewhere?

They should remodel the ride to be exactly like the movie.

[alwaystigerlily]

ok now i want to go to disney again and ride the haunted mansion all day.

[ratiganrules]

Did you know? That the woman who portryaed Madame Leota, was Elanor Audley, who was also the voice of Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty

[Evilqueen1985]

Its just her voice... the face is a Woman named Leota Tombs, who was one of the imageneers... and her dought is the face of the Madame Leota during Mansion holiday. Leotas real voice is heard in the exit queue when Little Leota says Hurry Back, Hurry back...

[ratiganrules]

I know that, but I just wanted to give someone an intresting fact.

[TherealRNO]

@Evilqueen1985: Madame Leota is the resident seer. Jealous at not having Gracy to herself, she killed all other escorts Gracy had. She also presumably drugged Gracy to sire Little Leota, their daughter. However, upon unearthing Leota's treachery, Gracy trapped her in her own crystal ball. Greif-striken, Gracy hung himself. The recent bride, Constance, seems set on taking over the Mansion for unlike previous brides, Constance is evil, hence her moniker as The Black Widow Bride.

[GoofyIndian92]

as well as Lady Tremaine in Cinderella

[ratiganrules]

That is correct!

[disneyfan81]

@ratiganrules Not to mention Lady Tremaine, AKA Cinderella's evil stepmother.

[nospeedboundaries]

Isn't 1:15 from Phantom Manor in Paris?

[MarshaA81]

awesome videos its cool to see behind the magic

[maulcs]

awesome

[barkandbiteboutique]

Thank you for uploading, that was awesome

[tamajinn]

Very cool, I could watch stuff like this all day!

[donutman65]

have u ever went on the tower of tower

[JohnCVideos]

no but ive been on tower of terror

[GinaGroupieFace]

But it has to be about Disney

[brico29]

great documentary!!! great ride!!!

[bgdjohnny]

FANTASTIC! The greatest ride ever!

[brutusmuerto]

The best singing bust is the face and voice of Tony the Tiger/ Thurl Ravenscroft.  1:01

[superbrosfan12]

i love walt disney b/c he made the biggest theam park there is!

[adampartain]

What is this ripped from? Was this on a show or a DVD or what? Was there other stuff where this came from? I would love to know as soon as possible!!!

[229095]

I may be wrong, but it may be from the David Oneal's Extinct Attractions DVDs (the HM DVDs are their most popular). As Dave said: "Over 5000 copies bootlegged worldwide."

[mr13gabo]

this is an extra on the dvd from the haunted mansion movie with eddie murphy, you can get the dvd very cheaply in any record store...

[TheAsheTalketh]

Is the voice of Madame Leota (sp?) the actress who does Maleficent?

[brycab2]

yep

[littlelivey12]

w0w thats very cool and lots of hard work

[MeggChan]

Pepper's Ghost is the coolest technique! One of the oldest, but simply one of the most interesting. I'd love to create the effect myself, as well!

[MeganandTylene]

how is it done?

[MeggChan]

Well, it's kind of hard to explain. Go to Wikipedia and type in "Pepper's Ghost" and take a look. It shows you how it's done :)

[gpwerner]

Unmentioned here was the evolution of the "bride room," with Marc Davis' popping heads behind gravestones. The original room was the one that would give you heart attacks, with the heads screaming and the bride an amorphous figure with a LOUD heartbeat.

Then Eisner came along and PC'd up the ride, and the room hasn't been the same since. Wish we could go back to that original.

[MeganandTylene]

I wish I could've SEEN the original...

[Ducktaped123]

i thought they still do have the bride with the loud heartbeat..

at the very end above the doorway.

sometimes you can hear the heartbeat, and sometimes you cant.

[brookside1]

Seriously--thanks for posting this!

[xSpectatoronex]

Wonderful! Thank you for this.

[xDeepPurpleDreamx]

This is fantastic!

[dancechick86]

Hatbox Ghost!!!!!

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Poor Blaine Gibson, I feel sad for old people who can barely talk anymore. It makes me fear the future, and feel bad.

[WaltDisneyLegacy]

He looks like he's alright to me.  Some people just don't keep their voice into their late 70's and early 80's. I've seen people in much worse shape.

[astayonix]

What a fun video! Thanks for posting!

[skellington15]

That music of Grim Grinning Ghosts from 1:00 to 1:20 comes from Phantom Manor from Disneyland Paris.

[LordZolima]

woot phantom manor!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WaltDisneyLegacy]

You mean that version.. right? I always liked that version myself. :-)

[TherealRNO]

@skellington15: No. Phantom Manor was done AFTER the Mansions were done. Phantom Manor too, has a better thorough story than either of the Mansion stories, too.

[skellington15]

@TherealRNO Yeah, but this documentary was made after all of them.

[TherealRNO]

@skellington15: I know that, but that doesn't mean the stories of the Mansions and Manor didn't exist.

[5blackcat12]

@TherealRNO so..What´s the true stories about the haunted mansion´s an the phantom manor???
