For the month of October, we here the Obscure Disney Podcast have decided to take a look at the spookier side of Disney as we are starting with the Gorilla style short film filmed at Disneyland, Missing in the Mansion. We also talk about the follow-up film. Followed Home from the Mansion and Escape from Tomorrow.
On this episode of Obscure Disney Podcast, we discuss Disney’s Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. We talk about Hat Box Ghost and the Fantom Manor in Disneyland Paris.
The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located at Disneyland Park (Disneyland Resort), Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. The attraction, although differing slightly in every location, places riders inside a haunted manor resided by “999 happy haunts”.
The Haunted Mansion features a ride-through tour in Omnimover vehicles called “Doom Buggies”, and a walk-through show is displayed to riders waiting in the line queue. The attraction utilizes a range of technology, from centuries-old theatrical effects to modern special effects featuring spectral Audio-Animatronics. The Haunted Mansion has inspired two similarly themed attractions, Phantom Manor and Mystic Manor, which exist at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, respectively.
