Legends of the Haunted Mansion: Halloween Special

[@TheITinFIT]

I was a DCP at Walt Disney World in 2012 and got to take a few tours of the Haunted Mansion. Not only was it cool to see everything with the lights on, but they told us the true story about the man with the cane. He was an older cast member who liked to play practical jokes on guests and fellow cast members. He timed everything just right so he could hop on and off the doom buggies in the right places, get noticed, and go hide his hat, cape and cane and return as if nothing happened with nobody the wiser. When he retired, he revealed the secret to his cast members and friends.

@@TherealRNOwwfpooh Oh, please. It's strictly a Chinese government thing against Western depictions of the supernatural. The Japanese love scary ghost stories. As do many Chinese. The Chinese import a lot of supernatural (ghost) horror anime from Japan, including Bleach, Ghost Story, and several vampire stories (which also contain ghosts). The Chinese government are the ones against "Western" Ghost stories, but when the Japanese adapt Western style ghost stories, the Chinese are allowed it.

I'd say Phantom Manor is my favorite one even though I've never been to it, while it is more extreme and grotesque in nature than the original attractions, I find it rather fascinating.... plus I just love the Phantom as a character concept, a skeletal figure (or even sometimes a corpse) being the ghost host, and the story behind it is just....

Because in Walt’s day, most rides were based on recent or fairly recent movies (Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Dumbo).

I’d never heard of Phantom Manor until now and being a major Phantom of the Opera fan it was very exciting to hear about it.

[@vincevdijk7430]

My first visit to Disneyland Paris was in 1995. I worked for 5 years in Disneyland Paris, I had training to be a park guide and have visited it the park and phantom manor tons of times. This is the very first time I hear something about Phantom Manor being inspired or whatsoever on the Phantom of the opera. I think it is a bit of wishful thinking combining/mistaking the name Phantom Manor and Phantom of the Opera because there is not a single piece of reference within the attraction or building itself.

[@queenmedesa]

I love POTO too and Phantom Manor is beautiful ,I wish I could visit it

[@PerryAdolescentelol]

@@vincevdijk7430 The imagineer revealed that the manor was indeed inspired by the Phantom of the Opera during its reopening

[@mollysimpson2335]

@@vincevdijk7430 I'm really sorry about this little essay, I just have way to much time to analyze this media lol. The costume that the phantom wears within the manor is very similar to the Red Death costume the phantom wears in both the book and of course the musical. And while Henry Ravenswood in life is not deformed, he is shown to be a skeleton and a corpse in death (unlike many of the other apparitions in the manor) and that is exactly what Erik is described to look like in the book. He's waxy and thin and has no nose, he basically just looks like a skeleton or a living corpse. Plus the possessive father character who tries to/does kill the love interest of the girl, seems like a really similar comparison to me (though the phantom in Poto is also *in love* with christine). And in the book, Erik asks Christine to choose the scorpion or the grasshopper, scorpion signifying him (Erik) and the Grasshopper signifying freedom. If Christine chooses the grasshopper, he has the entire opera house rigged to blow up, basically if he can't have her, no one can. If I stretch a little bit, that seems sort of similar to the whole thunderbird thing. Let me explain that cause i'm really stretching lol. My thought process on this is that, Melanie has freedom (the grasshopper) because her father is dead due to the thunderbird/mining explosion, and probably a significant amount of people in the town (though if Christine chose the grasshopper, she'd definitely die too) So it kind of echoes the opera house explosion. With her fathers death, her love is killed by the Phantom so even though the guy wasn't taken out directly by the explosion, Henry Ravenswood still managed to kill him like Erik would kill Raoul. Phantom Manor is a heck of a lot more depressing than Poto cause in Poto at least Erik eventually lets Christine go on to live her life. Poor Melanie.

The Haunted Mansion in general is my favorite ride of all time and my life goal is to ride every Mansion/Manor ride in the world at least once.

Technically Alien Encounter was in Disney World, but I agree.

So Disney being Disney, they wanted to distance from him.

Offhand Disney you’re right! The key in which “Grim Grinning Ghosts” is played at the Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion is in a slightly higher key! I wonder why that is.

[@themeparkreel]

I think Anaheim is the best Mansion in America but Phantom Manor is my favourite Disney ride!! it's incredible! it's even more stunning in Person!

[@MrDrProfessorPurple]

The most important video on KZbin. Truly legendary

[@peachplays7176]

I don't know if you knew this, but the little Leota is actually voiced by the main Leota voice actress' daughter.

[@FoxieRoxie365]

Peach Plays I thought Leota voiced herself

[@Phantomwise2]

The Leota in the ball is voiced by Eleanor Audley (who also voiced Maleficent and Lady Tremaine). Little Leota was voiced by Leota Toombs herself. So I think Peach Plays got mixed up with Haunted Mansion Holiday where Kim Irvine, Leota Toombs' daughter, portrays Leota's face (though Susanne Blakeslee did the voice). There is no Little Leota in this version, rather a Little Sally that takes her place.

[@peachplays7176]

Phantomwise that’s what I meant. Sorry for the confusing, after a while I realized I got something wrong. I learned the fact off a fact Video, and they didn’t distinguish it from it only being during the holidays. It was just listed as that.

[@beverlypena4803]

I completely enjoyed this! Learned a lot! My favorite is Orlando's Haunted Mansion.

[@Amythest]

I prefer the Anaheim mansion to the Orlando one but I love Phantom Manor!

[@lovelytt7997]

Amythest ,I've only been to Disney World so I can't even tell which one is better

[@quibblish]

Each one has pros and cons, but I think Anaheim’s is better, too. Phantom Manor is cool too though.

[@SirBlackReeds]

I prefer Orlando because it has more, even if only a little.

[@brian_b_music]

jacoblgames I live in Florida so I visit WDW quite a bit. The Haunted Mansion is my favorite attraction. I hope to get out to Anaheim in the next few years so I can finally go through the original Mansion.

[@angelsinger4574]

Brian B. I’ve been to both, and they are both so much fun. I prefer Anaheim’s, but to each their own.

[@aerk120000]

This is still good 2 years later. I have only been to the original in Disneyland. I still love it.

[@NumeroLetter]

I can't believe you didn't mention that the mayor in Phantom Manor is the Dreamfinder from Journey Into Imagination!! (Well, uses the same face mold, anyway... lol)

[@rs_rmy7875]

your voice is so damn calming. I don't know what it is exactly that makes it to be that way, but it's really calming and I watch your videos over and over because of your voice.

[@SteveCarras]

rs_rmy I know, I know what you mean..:) I';m the exact same way... TPM Vids is the same way..:)

[@TheDesmo54]

I like the architecture of WDW Haunted Mansion. But I prefer the ride of Disneyland. Re Paris. It does indeed look like the psycho house. But I think to enjoy it I think you have to know the story. Esp when you go underground to hell. And one more thing. People shut the hell up when you're on the ride. Immerse yourself into the world of the ride. None of the rest of us give a shit about your opinions about the ride. And we can hear you. Respect

[@Caterpillarjon]

I agree, the WDW one is much more of an ominous, creepy, looking building, the kind you would steer clear of in real life, where as Disneyland's looks like a welcoming home you would want to go into. I prefer the original though as far as the ride.

[@quinnzykir]

I always feel like Walt loved everything that went into the parks attractions

[@89WickedWitch]

Did I hear, at around 2:55, that Captain Gore was killed by his nosy bride and then hanged himself?

[@AntiFaGoat]

89WickedWitch You must be... DOUBLE DEAD!

[@bexcomet6203]

**flips over** Hello, Oogie.

[@certainlycecil]

Wait does that mean he hanged himself but that’s not possible even if his bride hanged him because he had no head

[@elsie8757]

I think he meant that the Captain _killed_ his nosy bride and then hanged himself...

[@ISS600]

The spree was that Captain Gore killed his bride and then her ghost made him kill himself.

[@Tresquall]

This is the first year where spooky season utterly snuck up on me. It dawned on me that the next time I see my students, it will be Thanksgiving/holiday season... Anyways, your videos help me capture that spirit of Halloween, I greatly appreciate your content Dallin!

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Two things. You said that phantom manor has the exsclusive portrait of the woman on the couch but im pretty sure its also in the disneylands mansion. Also in the attic at disneyland no one ever looks to the right when constance is saying her lines but there is baby stuff (stroller and like blocks) makes it so much more mysterious if hatchaway had a kid with one of her many husbands

[@Poizenne]

Yes, the lady werecat is at Disneyland. She was always my favorite of the portraits. She wears a black catsuit while the Paris version seen in the video is wearing white.

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Poizenne thanks for thr clarification, have you ever noticed constances baby stuff?

[@Poizenne]

I haven't been there in several years. Before they changed things. I still remember her heart being lit up and beating loud while she held flowers and a candle. Now apparently she holds an ax and talks. Maybe they added the baby stuff then.

[@Jmoore.mp3]

Poizenne probably lol, i go about twice a year and thats so cool that youve seen the old bride

[@Collorious]

It’s also at WDW too.

[@Heather-Br]

Thanks for going into such detail about what you pass as you tour the house. I rode the attraction as a kid and I remember dad saying that at one point a ghost joined us in the car, and I also remember hearing a piano playing at one point, but being blind there were lots of details I missed. So thanks for the guided tour. You've got a new subscriber who's loving your channel. Great work!!

[@Arcvnum]

Finally you did it! A documentary styled video, yes! I cant even imagine the effort put into this. Amazing work. Keep it up.

Well you see, kids probably won’t get it and I think this extremely family friendly park needs a bit of gore lol

If I could handle hangings as a kid, so can they. We do children a huge disservice by not exposing them to real life themes in controlled doses.

[@JAYRODDC117]

So you're telling me the phantom manor missed out on the chance to add a tribute to the electrical worker with an electrician's ghost? That would be super creepy and adds a spooky true haunting to it.

[@Synesthesiazounds]

JAYRODD C It would have an extra creepy factor, but it would’ve been insulting to the worker’s family and memory. Its for the best they don’t include a reference to him without consent of the deceased’s family

[@for_etheria]

Abbey Coward if I die in a horrible accident, someone please make an animatronic of my ghost. I’ll even come back and haunt it for you

[@duncansouth2530]

I’ve been on both Disney world, and Disneyland haunted mansions like a million times each, and tbh the Disneyland one is like waaaayyyyyy better. The theming in Cali is so much better and there are like dozens more hidden things and meanings. Also the outside look of the Disneyland mansion is 10x more memorable than in MK. But legit though the Disney World mansion is not that bad. The audio animatronics in MK are far better that Disneyland and the outside waiting line is pretty fun. But like I said, I personally like Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion best!!

[@SteveCarras]

Agreed..and I live in California...though the WDW HM is even scarier..

[@richardhaynes6934]

Loved it!!! Also the longer format is MOST appreciated. Well done !!!!

[@catlowe92]

So stoked for a long episode. I am in Australia and will likely never get the chance to visit any Disney parks so watching these videos is really entertaining. There is simply so much information on Disney; longer videos are better as the information is not skipped over or condensed. I love learning about the attractions and their history :D

[@chrisdisney8201]

Anyone from around the world can visit a Disney park, you just have to BELIEVE! ...And have some cash of course ;D

[@rach_laze]

There's Hong Kong or Tokyo not too far from oz, honestly Paris and Hong Kong are pretty similar from what I've seen rides wise just different thematically and paris has the best of the us ones I plan on going to Hong Kong disney on my way to oz next time so will come back here and let you know how it is and if it's worth it when I do (Not the next lions tour the one after)

Yeah the videos are great when you can't go yourself. Or just because you like them.

[@fiddlelady91]

Phantom Manor's story, music, and visuals are the best imo. I'm a sucker for good stories and theming

[@kayleighwilson9509]

One of the best parts of mystic manor is the fact that there are different rooms and sequences that you can get each time you ride (I mean there are only like 2 or 3 ones but still amazing) and you don’t know which one you will get until you get there because of the trackless nature of the ride. And the effects are so amazing. If you would’ve asked me years ago, nothing could beat the original haunted mansion but mystic manor is next level and my new favorite Disney attraction and also Harrison Hightower looks a lot like joe rhode ;) I mean he has said Harrison is based off of him and I love that

[@goldenpix2700]

I love Haunted Mansion! The attic is my favorite part. I love Constance! This lead me to love Phantom Manor! I swear some day I will go to Paris. Also, now his name is Jean Lafayette? Im pretty sure it was Laffite. Idk now

[@vitaminanime]

Lafayette and Lafitte are two different people

[@duckwashere4826]

one time when I was younger I had a meltdown because I was scared of the ride, now that im older it still spooks me from childhood memories but it's not as scary

[@chrisdisney8201]

I LOVE YOU for doing a 40 minute Halloween special!! I was in Disneyland during Halloween time so I just now saw it. Of course, HM DL is my favorite ride ever and always will be, but I love Phantom Manor too for how creepy it is. Most elaborate of course goes to Mystic Manor, can't wait until we get a ride with the same amazing technology!

[@jasonchambers9914]

I know I'm a bit late, but do a video like this for other rides! Where you describe the storyline of the ride, and also the not-well-known history and secrets. I love it!

You totally deserve more subs!

[@illusin7507]

I remember riding the Phantom Manor when I was about 8. I was riding with my friend (about 11). And as we reached the graveyard scene the doom-buggy’s “disfunction.” I remember the sound coming over the speakers and being absolutely mortified. Edit: This happened a few years back - so thing may be blurry.

[@s.b.8258]

I would have had a heart attack if that happened to me.

[@PerryAdolescentelol]

As someone who has been to Disneyland Paris so so many times and in this particular ride, I can tell you that it happens a lot (everytime a wheelchaired guest exits the ride)

This was cool! Haunted Mansion has ALWAYS been my favorite ride! I love the So. Cal one best, but find the outside of the Orlando mansion much more aesthetically pleasing. Also, the picture of the Original mansion being built, the man on the floor with the plaid shirt is my uncle Rick!! He would tell me stories of all the attractions he worked on, his other favorite was the monorail. And my very good friend Brian Sandal was and still is the designer who imagined the NBC theme at the mansion for Halloween! He also does all the Christmas designs for the park!!👍🏻

[@jntproductions1]

So what you're telling me is that there's a KEY TONAL difference between the Haunted Mansions?

[@sashazahradnik2324]

yes, but the one he played for WDW actually plays in disneyland. i cant speak for disney world, but i am entirely certain that the second version played is played in disneyland park:)

Having been a Cast Member at Disneyland, working on The Jungle Cruise and The Haunted Mansion . . I'm going to have to say the original is still the best . . excellent job on this documentary!!

[@jwhuggins]

Another AWESOME Video! I remember the day (in Anaheim's Park) when, after something like 46 years "The Hatbox Ghost" was finally 'returned' (or should that be 'Resurrected'?) back into the Haunted Mansion--people came literally from all over to be there. "Mystic Manor" also looks like an incredible ride that should be introduced into all the parks! One more thing though (and folks who work at both parks chuckle that you're a real 'Disney Insider' if you know this bit of trivia: The attraction in Anaheim is "The Gracey Mansion" (after Imagineer Yale Gracey) while the one in Florida is "The Gorey Mansion" (after the character in the original back-story, "Captain Gorey".) Also, that's not the "Ghost Host" seen hanging at the conclusion of the stretching room sequence--it's supposed to be "Master Gracey" ("...Gone to rest; No mourning please, at his request.") They used much of this story in the 2003 movie with Eddie Murphy. After seeing this vid though, they should be making a film of "Mystic Manor" instead!
