The Haunted Mansion

[chuckles] And Disney decided that Eddie Murphy needed to lean and learn the hard way that anything is possible.

So today we're gonna go back to the Haunted Mansion where a family vacation turns into a ghost hunt, a butler just is out here committing crimes from beyond the grave, and somebody desperately needs to explain why this house is on the market.

We know why, but how?

[laughs]

Okay.

All of my Disney knowledge, all of my Disney knowledge was, you know, Lion King, Pocahontas, and the movies and TV shows obviously.

But they didn't really talk about the Haunted Mansion ride on the other movies, unless it was like a hidden gem, hidden Mickey thing in the background, right? But I had to figure it out on my own.

And what made this movie cool is that it was this Black family for me.

about you? Did you watch any other movies?

I started watching some spooky things, not like horror, but I watched Casper and we watched Hocus Pocus and we watched The Haunted Mansion, the one with Eddie Murphy.

Oh, that was such a good one.

it's so

And the other one has movie stars like Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Tilly and Terrence Stamp.

And who else was in it? And doesn't that sound like a better time than just hanging out with a bunch of other people? drunk dads um i'd much rather hang out with eddie murphy and jennifer tilly and uh so would you i think and if you don't think that you're lying to yourself so that's my number one haunted house is the two the haunted mansion from the 2003 movie

i did not see that coming i thought we were gonna have the same number one no we only had one match so far this is great yeah we yeah um Okay, well, this is one I've talked about on this show before.

When I was thinking about movies with haunted houses, this is really the only one I really came to mind.

Um, today's recommendation, I've got one horror movie each day this month and one family friendly for those who have children.

So today the family friendly is Haunted Mansion, and the horror movie, I couldn't think of a better way to start it off than at the Bates Motel, Psycho.

Mm.

Mm.

And I will be watching it tonight.

Good picks.

So, so Haunted Mansion, we're, we're talking Eddie Murphy, right? Like-

Yes.

In what?

Haunted Mansion.

Oh, he was in the original Haunted Mansion.

Bro-

Mm

Tuesdays is Ratatouille.

Wednesdays is The Haunted Mansion, the Eddie Murphy version.

Nice.

Thursdays is The Lion King.

[laughs]

Finally, I know we talked about The Nightmare Before Christmas gingerbread display at the Grand Californian Hotel, but I don't think we've talked about the Haunted Mansion Halloween decor up now at the Disneyland Hotel.

So within the resort's courtyard area, there's a Haunted Mansion photo op.

There's also a banner of the singing busts on the bridge that leads to Tangaroa Terrace, and within the main lobby of the hotel itself, the stretching room portraits greet guests as they enter.

It's fun to see the resort hotels also getting into the spooky spirit, as the Pixar Place Hotel also has Monsters, Inc. Halloween decor up currently as well.

I just love how every square inch of the resort is decorated for Halloween.

Now, I remember last year, and I think maybe the year before that, I do remember the Haunted Mansion photo op, uh, and then I-

I do too.
