Grim Grinning Ghosts! « It's tea time November 15, 2010 by tarynwhittam So I began searching for more ghosty inspiration. I’ve been a lover of Disney and the theme parks from a young age, with one of my favorite rides being the “Haunted Mansion”. (Known as the “Phantom Manor” in Disneyland Paris). A source of great ghostly inspiration! The aura of creepyness conbined with the comedy aspect allows the guests to feel a little nervous and jumpy, but at the same time feel in safe hands. Grim Grinning Ghosts! All three were part of Disney’s “Nine Old Men” who were a group of the company’s top imagineers and animators, and were involved in a number of famous works by the company, as well as creating concepts for the park itself. Another ghostly character. I found it very hard to begin this project, even with finally deciding on doing ghosts, and having sources of inspiration. Not exactly the scariest little spook... Not exactly a well developed concept, but I needed something to act as a starting point. Like this: Like Loading...
Walt Disney World Resort Call of Duty® Welcome Foolish Mortals... I may have mentioned at some point that my all time favorite theme-park ride is Disney's Haunted Mansion. On my recent visit to the Anaheim park, my friend Lance told me about a record he had as a kid which featured a young Ron Howard trapped inside the mansion. I quickly pulled out my iPhone and looked up The Story and Song from The Haunted Mansion. Turns out this hard-to-find Disneyland Records Storyteller long-playing featured the creepy soundtrack from the Disneyland attraction plus a narrated story about two teenagers who visit a haunted house. So, while shopping on Main Street USA, we popped into the book & record shop - only to find that The Story and Song from The Haunted Mansion is now out on cd! So of course we bought it! As soon as we got in the car, we popped it in the cd player! The story is narrated by Disney (and Frosted Flakes) Legend Thurl Ravenscroft - and tells the tale of Mike and Karen, two siblings who take refuge inside a eerie house during a thunderstorm.
bobby May 2011 . Whoops, Long-Forgotten's first anniversary slipped past while I wasn't looking, but it's not too late to say thanks to all the readers, and especially the commenters, for making this blog such an enjoyable project throughout this last year. Many have put kind words of praise and generous thank you's in the Comments sections, often without a direct reply from your Host. I assure you that I have seen and appreciated them all, even if I haven't personally responded in every case. Thank you all. This seems like a good occasion to ask the question, What makes the Haunted Mansion so different? I think the Haunted Mansion may be more psychologically seductive and intriguing than other attractions because, unlike most of them, it never asks you to stop being yourself in your own world.
