I Review Every Single Haunted Mansion Adaptation (That I Could Find)

[@Glasshouse828]

I like how this video kinda doubles as a haunted mansion iceberg video

[@antmichael2493]

There's something you should know in the House of Mouse episode House Ghosts, the Hatbox Ghost appeared without his hatbox.

[@BrandonCroker]

“Of course, there’s always Dave’s way!”

[@sewthernbelle]

Oh my gosh they could have made Eddie Murphy trying to sell the Haunted Mansion the whole premise! Various people coming in looking to buy it, ghosts scare them off in a comedic way, ghost messing with Eddie Murphy as he’s trying to fix up the house…think Mouse Hunt but with ghosts

[@Mathee]

And then they could have Eddie Murphy slowly bonding with the ghosts, and having the movie end with him deciding to live in the house himself

[@HighlandHellboy]

And then have one person who the ghosts can’t scare away, who happens to be Constance’s living “spiritual” successor. That way we can still have a reason for the ghosts and the other human characters teaming up and bonding.

[@antmichael2493]

Hey can you please do House of Mouse Grim Grinning Ghosts widescreen and NTSC?

[@TylerFG]

1:56:35 - It's wild how the haunts aren't typically malicious but here they straight up contribute to somebody's death.

[@Emplordxiii]

This is a long one folks. Worth every minute of its 3 1/2 hour runtime.

[@JimmyG96]

Fun Fact: June Foray actually played a THIRD witch named Witch Hazel, in the 1956 Tom and Jerry cartoon The Flying Sorceress for MGM. So she played THREE different Witch Hazels for THREE different studios (Disney, Warner Bros and MGM). The name Witch Hazel was actually the name of a plant and traditional skin care medicine.

[@sarah98917]

[@DubiousKhan]

Re: Epic Mickey and Madame Leona. Might have changed the name because "Leona" is an anagram of "alone," fitting the whole lonesome theme of the area.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Would love to see you do the other Disney Kingdom comics like Seekers of the Weird, Figment, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, etc. You could get Chris Nebergall to play the villain in Big Thunder or maybe even Ron Schneider to play Dreamfinder.

[@dannyfain3961]

Seems you missed one thing..? The Sandy Duncan 1974 special “Sandy in Dsneyland” has a Haunted Mansion centered sketch

[@doggans]

You’re right! I was unfamiliar with that special, so I’ll be sure to cover it in an eventual followup!

[@megantheartoonist]

Came here to say this too, please do!

[@adamdavis1648]

​@doggans Do you think you'll ever do videos like this for Pirates Of The Caribbean, Phantom Manor or Mystic Mansion? I'd definitely watch those!

[@SunnylandProds]

3:22:39 Yay, Molly and Scratch!!

[@SubjectDelta1395]

There was one earlier Mansion reference in House of Mouse. In the first episode “Missing Cartoons”, Pete comments that the stage is “Deader than the Haunted Mansion”. Then it shows the Hitchhiking ghosts on stage.

[@doggans]

I had seen that there were a few other cameos but I was told the others weren't particularly substantive. That said, if I missed enough to warrant doing a followup, I'll include any other House of Mouse appearances.

[@thewrathofkaan]

OMG we had the same first exposure to the mansion. We went to Disney shortly after I saw that sing-along film and I refused to go in. I also did not actually get on the ride until I was 22!

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Okay, it took me a while to finish this video, but I really like the look of that Disney Kingdoms comic, and I'll be listening to the audiobooks of the Tales from the Haunted Mansion series. Also of course Muppets Haunted Mansion is the best movie.

[@theethanator9000]

I remember watching the Disney singalong video on vhs as a kid, honestly thought it was just a fever dream

[@sarah98917]

5:17 Ron Howard sounds like a young Mark Hamill to me

[@gr33ngirlsea]

He does! Probably because casting directors and acting coaches go through trends about what type of look and sound they like from actors and they were young male actors with the same type cast at the same time.

[@jonathaneilbeck2263]

Fun Fact: The writer of Marvel Haunted Mansion comics is Joshua Williamson. He was known for his creator owned series, the horror comic Nailbiter, and has been working at DC, having acclaimed runs on the Flash, writing the event Dark Crisis and is writing the current Superman and Green Arrow comics.

[@dragonfour7193]

I liked how you briefly mentioned the Disney creepypasta story Grad Night at the Haunted Mansion. 😀

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

Honestly the SLG comics were my favorite. Having that collab factor of different writers and artists bringing their own flavor made the Mansion so much more tragic to me. Also the fact that the second ongoing story basically turning to The Simpsons' "Bad Dream House" from the first Treehouse of Horror with the disappearing house was unexpected

[@NoisyBones]

I love the idea of the Hunted Mansion being a home for wayward ghosts 😭 it’s like an animal sanctuary where they give them enrichment and natural habitats to enjoy, that’s precious

[@SonofMrPeanut]

Kudos for getting as far in Mickey's Great Adventure in Tokyo Disneyland as you did.

[@doggans]

Truth be told, I beat the first level, then saw how many levels there were before the Mansion level, then looked up the passcode to skip to the Mansion level. :P

[@thrutheturnstyles]

@@doggans No shame, there. I beat it once years ago and that was enough, did something similar for my vid

[@FigmentJedi]

The Epic Mickey comic book spinoff "Tales from Wasteland" did include a Lonesome Manor story called "One Scary Night" that has Oswald and Robot Donald and Goofy spending a night in the house. Tales from Wasteland also did an Adventurers Club story for that "Looking at other attraction adaptations" idea of yours as well.

[@doggans]

Ooh, I'll have to look at that comic for the followup...

[@BugsyFoga]

Looks like grim grinning ghosts are coming out to socialize.

[@jamesatchley4586]

3.5 hours of Haunted Mansion? I'm in. This kinda works as both a series of reviews and a history of Mansion adaptations. Both of which are fun to think about leading to the new movie.

[@matthewn1566]

Haunted Mansion is the GOAT Disney dark ride.

[@RooneyToony]

Great video! You have a good voice for narration. I’ll def check those comics out. Would you do another video like this for another ride? I want to know if there’s any space mountain lore

[@doggans]

I'm considering doing some for other attractions! Most of the others don't have nearly as many adaptations (except Pirates, which mostly spins off from the movie's universe), but there are a couple that could make for interesting dives...

[@alexanderklepp]

My introduction to Haunted Mansion was also the Disneyland Fun VHS as well. Like you, it creeped me out but also intrigued me. I've only been on the attraction at Disney World once and had a great time. I can understand why it's so popular among Disney park fans.

[@DeanIrvine]

I’m so glad you spoke about the slg comics they also seem to be forgotten about the comics and they in my opinion really captured the characters and feel of the ride. Plus I adore the backstory they created. Though I don’t know if Constance was established when they came out but I feel they would have had fun with her

[@doggans]

I think Constance was introduced while the run was happening, so i'm sure the ongoing story was already set before the writers knew about her.

[@FigmentJedi]

@@doggans I heard claims of a Constance story being one of the unreleased stories.

[@nathanforester5993]

I can definitely relate to you on being scared of the Haunted Mansion, mainly because of the aging portrait of Master Gracey and also because I had read about it on Snopes's Disney section that someone actually had died on the ride (and also coincidentally they put the ashes of those who have passed away on the ride) and also the rumor about the 'Theodore' bust supposedly being Walt Disney. And the WDW explorer cd room where you could go behind the scenes, and I saw how the animatronics for the ride were made. And also if I had a nickel for every music video I saw in which people go inside a haunted mansion I would have at least more than two because it has happened more than twice (i.e Nelly and Raven's music videos for the songs for the movie, Backstreet's Back, Fat Boys 'Are You Ready For Freddy').

[@GhoulishGabs]

The haunted mansion part of a day at Disneyland and the haunted mansion part of the Disneyland fun sing along always made me hide behind my parents couch as a kid.

A truly impressive amount of dedication! Great job, sir! 👍 50:09 - 50:14 Out of curiosity, are you aware of the "Disney Chills" books? 54:25 - 54:32 Are we supposed to like him? If not, what makes it important? 57:42 - 57:46 But wouldn't that make it a Goofy game, not a Minnie game? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

[@andrewgoeing2701]

Awesome vid! Nice to see the marvel comics get the respect it deserves. I whish you dived deeper into the 2003 game though. It's arguably the darkest plot of all. The villain is an insane death cultist who wants to kill everyone AND destroy heaven and hell (or the Afterlife and the Afterdeath as the game calls them) so that only pure death remains. At the end of the game, he steals the crystal that powers your lantern and absorbs all 999 spirits to become a giant maggot monster. Zeke crams Madame Leota into the lantern to power it again and fight the monster as he clamis "there is still room for at least ONE MORE!" Also the game does the "ghosts are free to go to heaven but most stay behind" ending the movie should have done. Also also the Game boy advance game has a completely different plot from both the console version and the movie.

[@doggans]

I wish I could have spent more time on the 2003 game, but I was running out of time by the time I got to playing it if I wanted to get this video out before the movie.

[@rexation8952]

BTW....I highly disagree with your opinion on the 2003 video game. IMO, it is the best video game adaptation!! If you were spamming the fire button on large spiders, you skipped past Leota's "under 1 minute" explanation about how your new soul gem 💎 power worked. I replay this game on my PS2/Gamecube annually, so it's far from unenjoyable!! Also, interacting with the friendly ghosts after completing each room yielded some genuinely comical dialogue: -he ghost auntie who made your favorite...cheesy toadwart casserole -the Captain ghost who didn't understand why he was killed in a mutiny despite asserting that less than 50% of the treasure was half -the king ghost that tells you that your princess is in another castle -the one duelist ghost who, when referring to Atticus Thorne, said he could "smell his beady little eyes" -the band member's that all agreed that they need "more cowbell" -each of the Hitchiking Ghosts in a separate room trying to hitch a ride (each with actual dialogue) Just...wonderful dialogue!!! Atticus Thorne, the main antagonist...easily the best character created only for a game adaptation of the mansion!!!

[@DigiRangerScott]

Okay board games feel more adaptationy than toys so I can see that distinction

People need to stop bashing the original haunted mansion it’s a classic and will always be I’ve just seen this new one and for me the actors in this are just so plane and horrible LaKeith Stanfield was the only one who actually did a great job the film it’s self it’s basically another Disney channel original nothing that amazing😏.

I appreciate you taking three entire points to chastise me for taking the movie too “serisly”, and I don’t think the movie is THAT bad either, but it’s not as good as it should have been. And I didn’t make any claims about whether or not the singing busts were funny; just that they observably were distractions from the plot, which is continued after their scene despite them, not because of them.
