Uncovering the Real Story of Phantom Manor

[@ladiesngerms]

i like to think leota can just chuck her spirit into whatever crystal ball or doll when she feels its most convenient

[@lindaandersen5723]

My guess would be that the poor, unfortunate bride-to-be resorted to asking Leota to contact the spirits to find out what happened. Since the Phantom wasn't in the spirit-world anymore she failed to recive any answers, however she left a crystalball behind for future visits...😉

[@tomahuman1441]

Linda Andersen I agree

[@noirwriter7733]

That sorta makes sense but remember it's her spirit stuck in the ball so he is kinda killing madem leoda

[@backuppixiedust1115]

She doesn’t even need to ship herself places! She just...rolls out (I’m sorry, can’t resist a pun)

[@ermacmacro7136]

That's sort of what I was thinking. Either that, or the first seance she did was actually in the area of Thunder Mesa (potentially be the daughter to see if she could contact her fiance). But she could sense that the Thunderbird was angered and left for Louisiana, where when she died she could go between her crystal balls because they were her mediums to channel spirits.

[@emjudge28]

I like the new lore, but I prefer the ageing of Melanie in the old one. I liked the whole story about her waiting for her fiancé forever. I feel like she’s not in the new story enough

[@raicrush]

Same feelings here!

[@NoxOblivion]

I so agree

[@ericsander3620]

I don't like that Melanie has other suitors in this one. It's too much like Constance Hatchaway, and Jake the Foreman being her one true love makes Melanie seem more benevolent while she looks more like the Phantom's cohort with multiple suitors getting killed.

[@MarcovanBergen]

The old lore is more subtle, based more on insinuating situations rather than explaining them in full. At the end of the new lore Melanie appears manically trying to keep you there with her as a simple last scare instead of her skeleton pointing you to the exit while she remains behind, still waiting. The old lore stuck with you long after you left the attraction. And seeing here age and cry at her boudoir always hit me right in the feels. It was done so well!

[@kijikuni]

I just assumed that in this new lore Henry “arranged” for all Melanie’s suitors to meet gruesome ends, being a terrible possessive father and all. It makes it all the more likely that his ghost would return with murderous intent, if he was already doing these things in life. Having ridden Phantom Manor exactly once in its original state, I can say that I kind of miss Melanie’s characterization. In the original story, even though she wasted away in the manor she still maintained some goodness and humanity, pointing us to the way out so we wouldn’t be trapped with her. In this incarnation, all the tragedies in her life piled up to the point that she truly went insane and let her darker instincts take over as a ghost. It makes for a creepy end to the ride for sure, but I just miss having one bride in the Many Haunted Mansions who wasn’t, y’know, EVIL. Anyway, great video as always! ^_^

I like the original because Melanie was the hero trying to help you escape the Phantom's clutches. Now both of them have the same goal of trapping you in the realm of the dead.

[@dorkandproudofit]

As for why the ghosts moved into the house or stayed in the town, I think it's just one more horrifying example of just how evil Henry Ravenswood is: after death, in addition to psychologically torturing his daughter, he traps all the souls of Thunder Mesa in the town and his mansion so he can lord over them in death as well, preventing them from ever resting.

[@___David__]

I like the new one because it didn't really change the story and the things that were changed were quickly reverted upon fan feedback (they had replaced the waltz in the ghost ball with the music from the American version which just doesn't fit and, let's be honest, is much worse :P). By the way, from the new story, the one thing I would like to clarify is that Melanie herself never found out what happened to any of her husband-to-be's. She's still waiting for the last one to show up at the wedding feast. Oh and the phantom canyon was already full of dead people and only dead people before the refurbishment. They just improved the animatronics. Madame Leotta is there to invite people into the ghost ball. "Join now the spirits in nuptial doom...a ravishing bride...a vanishing groom".

[@mdragonflame]

[@Tina_95]

I'm actually glad they added more to the story now. From what I remember of the old one though (From a book about the Haunted Mansion I bought at Disney like 12 years ago) the original story was like you said for the most part but from what I recall the wedding day was the same day as the earthquake and it killed basically everyone in the house except Melanie and she wandered the house looking for her groom. I may be misremembering but who knows. Either way I'm so glad you did a video on this because this story has always been so intriguing to me and with the update they did I was curious about the details of the story.

[@laotasurfs1110]

Adding: if you accept the premises of the DL Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor, Leota wouldn't have had to go that far to get to Thunder Mesa, as it's in the American west and HM is in New Orleans. It would've been just as hard for her to get there as the WDW Mansion in New England. Or it's just a cloned room and we should really just relax, lol.

[@TakumiLucius]

The reason why Leota is there is apparently she was a visiting psychic that was in Thunder Mesa during the Earthquake and died with everyone and her spirit helped call the ghosts into the house at the Phantom's behest/forced to.

[@tr4br]

One of the Imagineers who worked on upgrading Phantom Manor stated that Mélanie Ravenswood's ghost had gone insane over the years.

I'm so glad you did the Phantom Manor video, thank you! It's rumored, in the old story, that Madam Leota was friends with the Phantom and was invited to the Manor. I enjoy the new Phantom Manor story as well as the overall effects. I kind of wish they kept the Phantom animatronic when you left Phantom Canyon because it was creepier - seriously, it's the rotting corpse of the Phantom. Melanie at the end asking guests to marry her drives the being in the Manor for too long stir crazy notion that was discussed at the new Manor's reveal, but I enjoy her corpse pointing way out. It's a way she can never peacefully obtain so she shows the guests how to escape from his wrath. Also, Hell yes more Vincent Price

[@hostessofhorror99]

To be honest, I like both the original and the updated Phantom Manors. I'm maybe one of the few fans who genuinely was open to the refurbishment and the changes that were added to the ride. I liked the original because it held a mysterious story with romantic characters (i.e. Melanie and Jake, the Engineer) set in a lonely Gothic mansion. I like the updated version because it's the same story but this time we get to learn the ENTIRE story, including the Phantom's identity. A lot of people did not like the updated story because they said it "loses its mystery", which I totally understand. But honestly, I felt so satisfied when it was announced that the Phantom was Henry Ravenswood. It feels so good when you find out you were right all along. HOWEVER, I was really disappointed in the ending of the updated ride (the skeleton bride is replaced by the mirror gimmick found in the Haunted Mansion). I didn't have a problem with Melanie's spooky proposal, where she calls out to anyone who will accept her hand in marriage. A lot of fans thought she was changed into an evil spirit; I wholeheartedly disagree. Tom Fitzgerald, an imagineer, confirmed that Melanie went insane after lingering in her mansion for so long (hence her crazy proposal). It makes sense to me; if I was trapped in my own house by my dead father and never got to marry the love of my life, I'd go insane too. Overall, they could have done so much better... As for Madame Leota, I always thought that there were a few Madame Leotas, all set in different storylines (much like alternate universes). In Phantom Manor, I thought that Madame Leota was a medium for the dead so that Melanie could know whether or not her suitors' spirits were with her.

[@a7x_nomadiceagle482]

I love how this haunted mansion has a story and doubles down on the “haunted” part. I also am a fan of dark literature and I can see the references Edit: also it’s French so ofc it was gonna be darker than here in the US, here in the US it’s more about fun and entertaining than actually scary

[@simonegraffi3698]

Actually, in the new version there is no mention of the train conductor who wanted to marry Melanie in the original story. His hanged body above the stretching room is gone, now the Phantom is menacing directly the guests with the noose...so this led me to a theory: in this version, according to Henry each one of the visitors may potentially be Melanie's groom and so he's constantly trying to scare them or trap them inside the Manor and, at the same time, driving Melanie mad. In fact, according to Imagineers who worked on this refurb, the four suitors have been killed by Henry himself through fake accidents based on their names (as seen in the stretching room), so this theory makes more sense.

I prefer the old one, you feel more sympathetic towards the bride. In the new one they make her seem more crazy, although I’m sure to be haunted like that till you die, you would be driven crazy. In the old one, she tries to escape and saves you in the end. With that being said, they did add a lot to the ride and it’s not a bad change. Just wish they kept her being more of a sympathetic character instead of a crazy bride.

i'm wondering if Rowan D. Falls is connected to Albert Falls (keeping the Disney S.E.A connection alive). I guess there is no Train Conductor in the new Story and Barry Claude is the last suitor, who proposed to Melanie and wanted to mary her. But in the end, when killed and his soul gotten trapped in the manor. He wants to leave and give the ring back, so Melanie wants a new suitor, the new arrivals...

[@davidfeltheim2501]

I like that

[@elsie8757]

Dallin mentioned the train conductor though, he was Melanie's last suitor after Claude. Plus the "Phantom Hanging the groom in the attic" scene is still there, so that can't be Barry because he died from being mauled by a bear.

[@japperboy]

@@elsie8757 isn't it Just the Phantom starring at us? There is no hanging in the new version i think. I would love to think that the old story is part of the new, but it raises questions. In the piano scene where wedding music can be heared, you have Barry's picture. And the arm sticking out with the ring, i guess is because Barry doesn't want to be doomed and trapped in the Manor. Ge gives the wedding ring back so that he can try to move on

Hello! As I am Japanese fan of Haunted Mansion, I always love your channel. I also a huge fan of Phantom Manor and I made some blogposts about it. (In Japanese, of course.) I have studied about Phantom Manor and there are somethings I want to discuss with you guys. 1 I thought the Train engineer who planned to marry Mary was only in the original story...? (I thought there are only 4 suitors, who can be seen on the stretching portraits.) Was the Train engineer the one hunged by the Phantom, which is not changed from original story? 2 In the original Manor, There was an letter from Mary’s brother in her room. I saw a blogpost which says the letter was kind of a inner joke. Do you know the letter is kept after the reopening? I mean, in the new story, Does Mary still have her brother? 3 in the original version, there was the little bride in the wine cellar, who tells us to Hurry back. In the attraction, the bride(Mary) helps us to escape the Manor by pointing the exit. This is so odd to tell us to hurry back after that. I thought I read that the little bride’s voice is provided by the actress who did Leota. So... the little bride was Leota in her wedding gown? But why? (And I think the little bride scene was deleted after the reopening.) Sorry for such long comment. (I am such a Phantom Manor geek!) Thank you.

[@elsie8757]

-Yes, the train engineer is the guy being hung by the Phantom. In the original story he was Melanie's only suitor, but now in the rewrite there were four others _before_ him. -I never heard about Melanie having a brother even in the original lore, but then again I'm not a Mansion expert. -The one who tells the guests to hurry back in Phantom Manor is Melanie, yeah. It makes more sense in the new version because she's shown to be desperate for someone-- anyone, at this point-- to finally marry her, and I think the part where her skeleton points the way out has been removed. However, the only "little bride" I can think of is in the other Haunted Mansions and is actually not a bride at all. She's wearing a cloak of some kind, not a wedding dress with a veil. She is called Little Leota, but only because her voice was provided by Leota Tombs, who was the _face model_ for Madame Leota, not her voice. Madame Leota's voice was done be Eleanor Audley. Also, technically, "Little Leota" is not the tiny "hurry back"-lady's official name. Instead she is The Ghostess. She and Madame Leota are not the same character.

I remember I sent you a tweet a long while ago about this. Basically this version is a little bit better for many reasons: finally learning the identity of the Phantom, going into the backstory more than the original, connecting the plot, etc. and they definitely did it right. Let me know if I'm wrong but, when mentioning Barry Claude his death is taking me to the Boot Hill cemetery outside where a bear "ate" a squirrel, a fox, and then a Prospector until the bear died himself. Now that reference made me wonder if that perhaps Barry was the Prospector who probably quit and maybe became an Oil magnate later and then met his death again I could be wrong but that's just a theory.

I went to Disneyland Paris for the first time two days ago! My parents hate the Haunted Mansion and they did not want to go onto it, but I loved it!

This was so EXCITING !!

I like the "screw you money" thing. That was funny, and makes me think of Seto Kaiba from Yugioh abridged.

It’s very interesting how the phantom is the ghost host. I think it’s awesome!

I was 4 when I have eben to the old Phantom Manor....so I can't say much about it....but I love the new Version very much!

6:48 I knew these windows in the seance room had glowing windows before the refurb!

The light up pantings are cool especially the ones that show how they died.

Vincent Price has been dead since 1993; so if he came back to voice this new Phantom Manor than it truly is haunted! However; it is more than likely it's the same actor who recently played Vincent Van Ghoul for 'Scooby-Doo and the Curst of the 13th Ghost', Maurice LaMarche. Or it could be old audio remastered for this ride! One of the two!

He originally recorded it for the ride but Euro Disney wanted a French version too. So they didn't use it. But they have in the refurbishment ✌️

I’ve been impatiently waiting on another upload mannnn

[@penelopetiberti2637]

They are trying it in Paris?! That's awesome! I know that one house is very different from the "canon" one, as you extensively covered. That new house seems really interesting and full of new lore :)

[@dannybarron90]

Great video. I love them all, and because of you I can amaze my friends and family with Disney facts and secrets. I hope that soon I'll get a job at Disneyland, and if you want I'll give you discount when you come over to CA. Oh by the way congrats on the proposal

[@LaceyNLSon]

Yeah... first view! Thanks Dallon for all the awesome content you put out. I would love to start my own Disney KZbin channel, and you were my inspiration for that. Keep making awesome videos!
