The Haunted Mansion: Welcome Foolish Mortals

 

Remember the first time you rode The Haunted Mansion? I was a kid, so naturally, I covered my eyes (read: wimp). This lens is dedicated to what many consider to be Walt Disney's pet Imagineering project.

Note: This lens has nothing to do with the Eddie Murphy film. We're all trying to forget that one ever happened. 

Full Ride Video of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion 

I must have watched more than forty different videos before deciding this was the best of the crop. Nicely edited. Soundtrack added instead of on-board mic sound.

Grim Grinning Ghosts Lyrics 

When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

Now don't close your eyes,
And don't try to hide.
Or a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise,
They pretend to terrorize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree,
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes,
Start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell,
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.
Restless bones etherialize,
Rise as spooks of every size.

Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor 

This wonderfully edited video by Ravenswood17 shows Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor. Watch this and see how the storyline was tightened, made more frightening and is a wonderfully different edition to the Disney Parks family of haunted abodes. The soundtrack was the original English version which was voiced by Vincent Price. To my knowledge, they no longer use this version.

Phantom Manor Full Ride Part 1

The first part of the Full Ride version of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. It's recorded with the english version of the ride.

Fun lens. The last time I was at Disneyland, the mansion was decorated for The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was really cute!
