It is rumored one of the mansions earliest occupants, G.V. Kram, a wealthy miner, discovered his wife had a young lover. Kram went to the basement, buried his wealth and hanged himself. His spirit has moved upstairs to the vacant floors of the old mansion. A few recent diners have reported seeing the old man counting his money behind the thin curtains of the window overlooking the patio. The spirit of a woman, who died in the mansion is very friendly. You can hear her laughter when the building is quiet. The staff calls her Ollie. There is even a large dog who walks the upper floors. Occasionally, you can see his footprints in the dust.
To give a brief summary, the trailer opens by introducing the main characters of Ben, Kent, Gabbie, and Harriet, as they explore the mysterious mansion and eventually find a room that resembles that of the one that Madame Leotta resides in, otherwise known as the sorceress head trapped inside a crystal ball. The rest of the trailer shows more creepy ghost-like imagery and introduces even more wacky characters like an eccentric college professor (Danny DeVito).
As for the ghosts who are set to appear, we do know that the Hatbox Ghost will almost certainly be appearing. An infamous part of the attraction that only returned to the ride somewhat recently, Hatbox Ghost was heavily implied at the event to be played by Jared Leto (Morbius). We also know that the Bride will also be a part of the film, and she is a character that has quite the backstory. Most of the "happy haunts" in the Haunted Mansion are just that; happy. They might give people a good scare sometimes, but overall they're not malicious or cruel...except the Bride. Originally named Constance Hatchaway, it's heavily insinuated that she killed her husband (or husbands) and now stalks the mansion looking for her next victim. Both these infamous ghosts would be excellent choices for the main villain.
The movie stars Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, workaholic Realtor(TM), who is headed for a weekend vacation with his family when they get sidetracked by the chance to put a vast old mansion on the market. His wife, Sara (Marsha Thomason), is his business partner, but complains, as all movie wives always complain, that her husband is spending too much time at work. Their kids are Michael and Megan (Marc John Jefferies and Aree Davis).
It's a triumph of art direction, inspired by the Disney World attraction and by every haunted house ever crept through by Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Abbott, Costello, et al. Doors bulge, curtains sway, and there's a scenic graveyard behind the house, complete with four marble busts that perform as a barbershop quartet.
The original 2003 film starred Eddie Murphy as an overworked realtor who gets trapped in a ghost-infested mansion with his family. That version was heavily panned, earning a 13 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so it remains to be seen if the remake can improve upon the concept.
Both "Haunted Mansion" movies are based on a Disneyland ride of the same name. The attraction, which first opened in California's Disneyland in 1969, was initially conceptualized as a walk-through by Walt Disney himself and soon turned into a ride that took visitors through an eerie mansion in Louisiana. Eventually, Haunted Mansions popped up in various iterations at Disney's parks around the world.
The "Haunted Mansion" remake follows a single mom named Gabbie (Dawson) and her 9-year-old son, who move into a mansion in New Orleans. They quickly discover it's haunted and turn to a priest (Wilson), a psychic (Curtis), a historian (DeVito), and a paranormal investigator (Stanfield) for help.
So I climb aboard one of the ride's all-black cars, dangling from a track above, adorned with a skull and crossbones. A moment later, I'm plunged through the doors of the mansion into a very creepy scene.
My car enters a ghoulish salon where one skeleton plays a piano as another is splayed across a sofa in perpetual repose. A bookcase opens, and I'm taken behind it through various haunted scenes: a bat cave, a graveyard and an abandoned mine. I'm transfixed by a room covered in mirrors where skulls float and dance, like one of Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Rooms.
During the development of the Haunted Mansion, Disney and his design team originally planned it as a walk-through attraction and researched other historic homes that gave public tours to find ways to move groups through their attraction on foot. Their research led them to one of the most infamous haunted places in American history.
As Disney and his team studied how to handle public house tours for their haunted attraction, their search also brought them to the storied home of publishing magnate and yellow journalism creator William Randolph Hearst.
Actually I would even say Jacobeathan. Architecture is an interest of mine. WDW Haunted Mansion most closely resembles Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire England. The neighbourhood I live in in Canada has several Jacobean revival mansions. They have that gothic element to them. They are not as uncommon as people might thing. There was a heavy presence of Scottish and English settlers in Canada and The US around the mid 19th century.
Packer Mansion is more of a French Second Empire with Italianate influences. Dutch colonial style architecture is more utilitarian and less embellished than these particular styles. Which makes me wonder why they said it was a Dutch gothic mansion.
The development of a Haunted House attraction goes back to the earliest concepts for Disneyland. In one of the earliest layouts for Disneyland, Imagineer Marvin Davis indicated a haunted house located near Main Street. One of Disney Legend Harper Goff's first illustrations for Disneyland from 1951 depicts a creepy, bat-infested "haunted house" high on a hill overlooking a country church and graveyard. Serious development of a Haunted Mansion attraction began in early 1957 when legendary Disney Animator Ken Anderson was approached by Walt Disney to begin thinking about a haunted house attraction for Disneyland. Ken knew the attraction would be built near the planned New Orleans area of Frontierland, so he began designing an early 1800s southern mansion. Ken's first illustration depicted a dilapidated version of the home. Much to Ken's surprise, Walt was not happy with his depiction of the Mansion. "When we were doing the building," recalled Imagineer Claude Coats, "Walt wanted it looking fresh and new, while nearly everyone else thought it should look old and dilapidated. Everyone expects a residence for ghosts to be run-down. But Walt was always looking for the unexpected." "We'll take care of the outside," he used to say. "The ghosts can take care of the inside."
THE MORTUARY is an icon of old New Orleans at the very dead end of world famous Canal Street. Less than 3 miles from the enchanting French Quarter on the cemetery streetcar line, this magnificent mansion was originally built in 1872 and operated for about 80 years as an actual MORTUARY.
Much of the movie's plot is inspired by Phantom Manor, the version of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Resort Paris. Unlike the Haunted Mansions in the other parks, Phantom Manor has a clear storyline of a bride, her lost lover, and her haunting the mansion.
Eddie Murphy had developed a stand-up routine lampooning the unrealistic premise of horror movies, specifically haunted houses. In Eddie Murphy: Delirious (1983), he suggested that black people would never be featured in such a movie because they would leave as soon as they saw anything supernatural.
Hidden Mickeys: - when Jim and Sara are at the gate to the mansion, Sara picks up the lock on the gate which is shaped like a Mickey head. - When Ramsley pours the powdered poison in Sarah's drink, a Mickey forms when the powder and drink mix. - The couch in the library is vaguely shaped as Mickey's head. -When Jim is fighting with the knight, the axe that almost hurts him has an upside down Mickey.
Just like the original record that was released to promote the attraction back in 1969 that told the story of the haunted mansion one of the reasons they go into the mansion is because it starts raining.
An early draft of the screenplay reveals the mansion's setting being in upstate New York but was later changed to Louisiana, which made it to the final version. Had the New York setting been kept, the mansion's design would be based on the Walt Disney World version.
Watch out for the Pumpkin wearing Goombas, then maneuver around the spider through the stone arch and quickly run along it to the extensions containing a coin on either side. Wait here for a rolling chain chomp to pass by, then follow the walkway into the mansion.
After stepping into the mansion, flip the switch by the door to turn on the lights. Now run up the staircase to make a Boo appear from the painting, then lead him downstairs to the light. Keep in mind that the Boos are shy, so they'll only follow you while your back is turned away. After leading the Boo into the light, he'll vanish and drop a key, which will automatically unlock the door upstairs.
The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. Although differing slightly in each location, the attraction places riders inside a haunted manor with "999 happy haunts".
The attraction's theme is a visit to a haunted house in which the ghostly residents have taken full possession of the premises. The attraction inspired the 2003 movie of the same name, starring Eddie Murphy.
Originally conceived in the mid-1950s by Walt Disney as a walk-through ghost house, artist Harper Goff was tapped to conceptually design the attraction. The house originally had a rural American design and was intended to be at the end of a crooked path that led away from Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A.. Eventually, the decision was made to place it in New Orleans Square and thus the mansion's exterior was themed as an antebellum home. 041b061a72
