There’s a theory that i like : In the Haunted Mansion’s Graveyard scene, there is a section with a king and a queen playing teeter-totter on a tombstone. These characters look like real historical figures King James the 1st of England (1566 -1623) and Queen Victoria (1819-1901). Both these royals were heavily involved with America where the mansion is located. The country was colonized under Jame’s reign and the industrial revolution spreaded under Victoria’s reign. There’s a lot of victorian influence and style in the ride. This also could be a visual pun with the expression “Playing Victoria and Albert”, even though the king is not Prince Albert, the Queen’s husband. This expression comes from the passionate relationship Victoria had with her beloved husband, which was rare for royals commonly used to arranged marriages.
Since 2009, a spell book has been added on Madame Leota’s table in Phantom Manor. This book is an exact replica of the one presented in the Haunted Mansion. Opened page 1313, we can read “A Spell to bring to your eyes and ears one who is bound in limbo”. On the left page, there’s an illstration of the grim reaper who strangely looks like Ezra and the Hatbox Ghost.
I love this radio spot from the opening of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, so I edited it together with a bunch of other Haunted Mansion audio and created a little animatic.
