Ezra's Ghoulish Haunted Mansion Trivia!

[AKQJ10]

1. Where in The Haunted Mansion can you find a sketch of a NAKED WOMAN???

2. Who was originally going to perform the GHOST HOST NARRATION???

3. How many ghosts REALLY HAUNT THE WDW MANSION???

HI there! I may be able to jump in and help out...

1. The "naked woman" may be found on Madame Leota's tarot cards... but I think this was referring to the woman that was seen on the cards during the opening of the HM movie (which caused a little bit of controversy).

2. The original voice of the Haunted Mansion was going to be Vincent Price, and there are early recordings of his voice. Also, it is true that he does some voice work for the DL Paris Phantom Manor

3. The # of ghosts?..... Hmmm... Well, I know there are 109 Audio Animatronic figures, but I can't say about the number of total including pictures, etc... Have to go back and count in September! :animwink:

Wow, been a while... Anyway, WRONG. You can find her in Disneyland's version in the loading area/hall of changing portraits/limbo as it is called by different people.

Is it the "cat woman" that you are referring to on the hallway?

2. Who was originally going to perform the GHOST HOST NARRATION???

I understood that the Raven was going to be the narrator originally, that's why you see it throughout the attraction.

Well, there can be quite a few answers to the Narration Question.

The Raven was going to guide you through the mansion, but I believe that was one of the later concepts seeing as they had already installed the raven Audio Animatronics.

Vincent Price may very well have been a choice, of that i am not sure, but it would seem to make sense.

When the Mansion Was to be a walkthrough attraction, there was to be a guide butler named Beauregard to take you through the Mansion. When the attraction was concieved as a ride through, the idea was dropped.

Even Walt Disney Himself was at one point to be your guide through the boundless realm of the supernatural. When it was still to be a walkthrough, there would have been I believe a Televison in each scene with Walt telling you a little about it and what was going on and such, every now and then adding in a few puns. As you can guess, this concept was dropped as well.

So then there was the option of Paul Frees to do the Ghost Host narration. Guess who was picked. :hammer:

So there can be quite a few answers to this question, although I believe that, in sequential order, Beauregard the Butler was to be the original Ghost guide.
