You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
This sounds great...The Haunted Mansion is my favorite Disney ride. After the disappointing Murphy film...well, I'd figured they might give up on pursuing HM as a franchise 'ala Pirates. too much Eddie being full of himself, too little Ghosts of the Mansion. No caretaker, no hitchhikers, no doom buggies, 999 happy ghosts to choose from and they add zombies? Meh.
Although I did like Jennifer Tilly as Madame Leota.
HM has probably the most backstory as far as characters go than any other Disney ride, more even than Pirates. Most of all, using the Hat Box Ghost is an inspired choice.
Best of all, can you imagine the TOYS they will produce for this? Wow, Madame Leota playset, Hat Box 12", Doom Buggy vehicles, Hitchhiker action figures, that creepy little ghost that says "Hurry Back...Hurry Back!" I'd buy that as a talking figure in a heartbeat!
With GdT behind this, it should rock. And for the record, I think he would've made a kick-***** Doctor Strange, too!
sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
