[@RobLH]

Everyone is always about the Hatbox Ghost and no one ever says anything about The Candle Man! Thanks for highlighting him!

I think a full-size Cande Man would be nightmare fuel, and we definitely need him in the Haunted Mansion!

[@DeanIrvine]

Don’t get me wrong the melting candle man would be cool but personally for me they need to replace Constance with a tiana level animatronic. The newest animatronics show that the projected faces need to be retired and removed.

[@aia604]

100% agree

[@TheUltima_Werewolf]

Agreed, the face always looked weird to me

Just bring back the beating heart bride! The previous version was creeper and I never liked Constance. Aside from the projection looking terrible, her monologue was always just too forced for me.

[@andypandy4640]

I seem to remember that the Museum of the Weird was supposed to at the end of the Haunted Mansion attraction? My guess is that the shop will be themed as the museum, and there may be artifacts as set dressing placed around the shop inspired by Rolly's drawings.

[@FunAtDisney]

Actually the whole original concept was going to be a walk-thru, along with other ideas but not being a ride. The mansion was built in 1963 and did have concrete walls in the lower level for a walk-thru (below the entrance foyer) but because the focus shifted to the 1964 NY World’s Fair it was put aside. The mansion remained for years unused, especially after Walt died, but then with the Florida project going forward they were able to do a two-for-one by designing the HM for both parks with some differences. Disneyland’s opened in 1969, Magic Kingdom’s in 1971 (but was completed in 1970).

[@keithbarnes9419]

I think it would be a nice homage to Rolly. If you read his autobiography he did an awful lot of work on the Museum of the Weird drawings and models and all they used was the "eye" wallpaper.

Museum of the weird… Tim Burton should be stumping for this to be a feature/ Movie / ATTRACTION!

[@goingblind4465]

I love Rolly Crump and followed him. He loved Walt and it seems like Walt loved Rolly like a son. He was one of the absolute best imagineer's that Disney ever had, and Walt mentored Rolly, giving Rolly his big start at Disney. Rolly's art and creative ideas remain. Museum of the weird would have been an awesome addition on the other side of the art gallery inside the haunted mansion, if only that area could be widened somehow. Walt knew his stuff about people, and he knew that Rolly was an incredible talent. I like to think that every time I enter Disneyland that I am experiencing the love that Walt and his original imagineers had for the guests... they poured their hearts into the park. The trees that have grown up so beautiful, the water ways with scenic views that can transport us to different places... everything so beautiful and remaining for future generations. Thank you PPP for living your dream and making your viewers feel like part of your family. It is a joy to watch your channel. Looking forward to seeing more Chowder! Lol... just had to say it. That was so funny I laughed and laughed!

[@raypierce5818]

From my experience the one on the top shelf doesn’t mean too much as there were ALWAYS cool “decorations” everywhere that the imagineers kept around for inspiration. On the other hand, the one on the bench typically means It’s a current project as bench space is precious. Time will tell! ;-)

[@thulcandran]

Another fascinating easter egg from that video is at 13 minutes and 3 seconds. Its a very quick shot of a group standing around a board covered in S.E.A. artwork. In the bottom left corner of the board is a drawing of the "S.E.A. West Coast Headquarters" and what appears to be some sort of water ride. I wonder if they are planning an entire S.E.A. land in the new Disneyland Forward expansions.

Possibly!

[@George_vv]

Where would everyone want the candle man to be placed if they could choose? My first thought was near the beginning in a dark part of the hallway where he's illuminating himself that would be so cool! Maybe in the conservatory next to the coffin or even replacing the floating candelabra?

Very cool video! It would be great to get a new character inside the haunted mansion after all these years. The candle man would be ideal! In my humble opinion, I think the inadvertent glimpse of the candle man prop in the workshop was strictly an accident and not planned by Disney.

[@Philosophy42DaysUth]

To connect this with the last Provost vid -- maybe the reason Iger gave such a perfunctory answer to the question of what's coming is because HUGE things are coming and he doesn't want to let the cat out of the bag. If this is right, Candleman would just be the beginning of renovations to the HM. Here's hoping.

[@klacustoms]

I've got an idea for Disney with Candle Man. This idea would add realism to the prop by adding another item into the mix. I don't know if you ever heard of an Oil Rain Lamp? If not, look it up. So with all these metal wires attached to this lamp, the oil circulated to the top, then gravity feed down thru the wires, looks like water drops of rain when the oil is actually adhered to the wire so it doesn't fall off. Why not use the same concept, but apply it to the Candle Man? Attach wires to Candle Man, but have them painted white to match the color of Candle Man. What this would do is simulate the effect of how wax drips. Instead of it being wax, have it be oil drops. Maintenance on this prop would be relatively low and would be able to function all the time.

[@Kasperoner444]

Thanks to your video, I was able to see the Candle Man in the Haunted Mansion w/the Halloween overlay back in September 2023. I was able to snap some pics of it and I totally blew my sister's mind (who considers herself a Disney Uber Fan) with my knowledge of the infamous Candle Man. Thanx Chris!

I loved seeing the Candle Man during the Holiday Overlay this last fall. I wonder if that small, semi-hidden one was placed there to gauge guests reactions.
