Hey, one of Connie’s husbands is a Chinese according to the wedding certificate. She’s colorblind when it comes to murder! Nywayssss. One of the reservations I have for the new placement of the Hatbox Ghost is just how close he’s going to be to the Doombuggies this early into the ride. Unless...

On the side of the track opposite of where Connie is today.

So it seems the Eric Wintering Studio build the ghost costumes for the film. They've provided some behind the scenes looks at the bride(s) costumes. It seems there are two different brides in the film as there are two different costumes and actresses(?). We know the second one is canonically...

I'm surprised how correct the fan theories for this year's house lineup were! Usually they're only like 50% correct.

I know the “no ghosts before Leota” was never a hard and fast rule when the attraction was originally built but I feel like a full apparition this early in the attraction would throw off the tonal buildup? I guess we have the shadow on the music room floor but the room itself is so dark I’ve...

Just got back from the theater! I was really hoping that this movie would surprise me in some way. Unfortunately it was exactly what I expected. I don't think it was a bad movie in any way just not amazing. Without spoiling anything it somehow felt simultaneously like it was too long but also...

Totally! World Showcase and Voices of Liberty are definitely examples of costumes with a stronger focus on recreating folk and historical costuming. However, as a costumer, I see the vast majority of Magic Kingdom costumes as more “Ye Olde Timey” than, say, mid-Edwardian. For instance, the...

Earlier in this thread some comments were made about the historical accuracy of the new dress code, which strikes me as odd because Disney has never really made a significant attempt to approximate a particular era of fashion history in any meaningful way with the cast member costumes. The one...

Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by the trailer. However, as someone with a background in theater costuming and production design, I couldn't help but notice a few things (complaining ahead). (finicky rant over)! I'll try to save any further judgements until the movie is actually released.

I found a ride through video that includes the Story Beyond additions if anyone is interested:

When Was That Worn: The Ballroom Dancers - The Gents It's been almost a full year since the last time I did this! Time sure flies fast, doesn't it? Let's continue our look at the ballroom dancers by dating the gent's outfits. Before we begin, I'm just gonna quickly point out that men's costume...

Japanese Twitter users have been saying that the whole Story Beyond seems to be poorly translated from English to Japanese, which has lead to some confusion. There was some minor controversy over the ballroom dancer character, Harland, as their romantic interest was described with masculine...

When Was That Worn: The Ballroom Dancers - The Ladies To (sort of) make up for my extended hiatus, today I will be covering six ghosts instead of just one! Ok, ok, they're all technically wearing gowns of the same period but trust me, these are some very fun ensembles. So, without further ado...

"Awaken the spirits with your tambourine!" It’s alive! It’s alive! It seems that this project has come back from the dead (after a nearly-year-long hiatus). Soon after I initially started my quest to date each and every one of the ghosts of the Haunted Mansion by their attire alone, I ended up...

When Was That Worn: Constance Hatchaway I'm starting off this deep dive into the costumes of the Haunted Mansion with the character that first sparked someone to ask me, "when was that worn": Constance Hatchaway. Thanks to the presence of both a full body projection- showing the overall...

"When Was That Worn?" Greetings and salutations, it's long time lurker @CraftyFox. I've had a persistent obsession with the Haunted Mansion for as long as I can remember. The same can be said for clothing design and fashion history. In this thread I will be gruesomely conjoining my twin...

Pretty major casting update to the film situation: https://variety.com/2021/film/news/tiffany-haddish-lakeith-stanfield-haunted-mansio-1235029722/ Illuminerdi has also provided a brief plot synopsis that quite a few articles are quoting. That being said the actual legitimacy of it is questionable:

For anybody wondering where the “dollhouse” mentioned in some articles is, it’s directly to the left of the Ambrose portrait. Its pretty visible around the 7:19 time stamp in this video from Theme Park Shark. It looks like a boarded up Second Empire style house- pretty stereotypical Charles...

The funky gradient colors they’ve added to the character’s skin looks really tacky honestly. It looks like 2000’s Disney fan-art IMHO.

In museum design, paintings in dimly lit galleries often feature small lights above them to illuminate the work. I’m assuming that with the 19th century technology seen throughout the mansion, an overhead light would be significantly less feasible (see old theatre stage lights being on the...
