Never realized the little girl was holding a vintage Mickey!

Interesting to see that as the bellhop outfit was actually blue and not maroon red...Also it's better hearing of the girl singing "it's raining it's pouring" since you can faintly hear it in the 5th dimension scene...

I will also say that even the tv movie version I have to wonder if they used the same sets after they did the preshow filiming..

didn't know Joe Dante directed the live action bits, he directed Gremlins 1 & 2, the Howling, Interspace and one of the segments from the Twilight Zone movie in 1983

My reaction to that movie:

I think it might actually be WORSE than Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion, if that's even possible.

Really doubt it, the sets don't look alike to me.

Who played the couple? And is it the same family that we see getting "electrified" in the distance?

Yeah, given the reason why they went into the elevator for the plot point for the movie is just dumb. I can't help to wonder why they thought it would work.

He also directed the movie "Matinee" starring John Goodman and me............as an extra, lol. I did have a scene where he was directing right in front of us, so that was pretty cool
