Fun fact: The imagineers were originally just going to record the voices for the busts and have actors lip sync to the song, but when Verne Rowe, Thurl Ravenscroft, Chuck Schroeder, Jay Meyer, and Bob Ebright went in to record the vocals, one of the imagineers noticed how animated their faces were when they were singing so they just had the group film their faces for the busts. For this effect, they had to wear white makeup to look like the marble busts with their heads in a brace to keep them from moving around too much similar to Madame Leota’s head (apparently, this really bugged Jay Meyer). When the recording was finished, there was a mysterious error in Thurl’s projection that made it look like his head was slanted to one side. That’s why Uncle Theodore’s bust is broken.

Hearings without music is just something

It’s just crazy hearing this without music

The only graveyard ghosts whose dialogue remained unaltered.

The candid chatter in between makes this so great!

“Our tour begins here, in this gallery, where you gaze upon the sweet innocence of youth. Ah, but things are not always as they seem. Can it be this room is actually streching? And notice this, this chamber has no windows and no doors. Which offers you this chilling challenge: To find a way out! Hehehahahaha….Of course there’s always *MY* way!” 🌩️ “Hahahahahaha….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” 😈

Wayyyy superior to HM not gonna lie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 😈💀

I notice this version doesn’t have the bridal march in the attic scene! My question is WHEN did they add the music to the attic scene? This is super cool

Here comes the bride… 🪓😈

Bride: In sickness and in… wealth. You may now kiss the bride. We’ll live happily ever after. Till death do us part. Here comes the bride. As long as we both shall live. For better or for… worse. I do. I did. 🪓😈

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your ghost host. Hehehe…. Kindly step all the way in please, and make room for everyone. There’s NO turning back now. Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state. Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room ACTUALLY stretching? Or is it your imagination, hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has NO windows and NO doors…Heheheheh… which offers you this chilling challenge: To find a way out! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Of course, there’s always *My Way.* 😈🌩️

Can I get this specific version on cd? I’ve tried finding it on itunes and can only find the sped up version.

Why is that so oddly terrifying also are you the one that filmed it

I went there a long time ago when the face flashed on the top I screamed

To get the ghostly sound of the graveyard must’ve been a real chore to do. This is how they did it from what I’ve heard. Doris Johnson just played her harp straightforward so her recording is pretty normal. Chet Andrews, the percussionist of the group, pounded the beat out on a couple of stones with a pair of drumsticks to give the sound of his ghostly counterpart using bones to hit the tombstones. Cappy Lewis (trumpet) and Art Smith (flute) played both of their parts backwards so the recording would have a ghostly feel to it when it was reversed. The bagpipe was the most difficult to get right. The imagineers wanted to use an actual bagpipe for the recording, but they found it near impossible to control the thing melodically. To fix this, a fella by the name of Gordon Schoenenberg (apologies if I misspelled that) recorded two tracks of himself playing an oboe out of tune (one forward and one backward) and overlayed them on top of each other to create the effect of a ghostly bagpipe player. If there’s any information I missed or got wrong, please let me know.

It’s either the audio quality is bad or something else, but it sounds like grim grinning ghosts in the graveyard is a key lower than today’s version.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake………spooks come out for a swinging wake……happy haunts materialize……and begin to vocalize……grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize. (Maniacal laughter)

This is eventually what the haunted mansion will look like. They keep putting so many lights in the ride that it ruins the magic

Nice work!

They have all retired here to the Haunted Mansion. Actually we have 999 happy haunts here.

It feels like a dev room in a game like i shouldn't be here. Extra creepy.

1:09 - 1:10 that looked absolutely amazing!!

Genuinely one of my favorite RUclips Channels! I am obsessed with the history of the haunted mansion and love old recordings like this.

So is this the same as the Unofficial 20th Anniversary Collection? There seems to be more tracks on that one, but they seem to pretty much be the same, some with slightly different track titles though.

Always wanted to know how the original flash looked. The osmonds special was surprisingly accurate.

Love it. You just know that somewhere out there in someone's garage or a box of junk is an old color film like this of the OG Hatbox Ghost. I know there's that short black and white clip of it that turned up but I'd love to see some color film of it.

This is Amazing! If only they showed what the corpse bride actually looked like under show lighting

*Absolutely AMAZING!*

The great X Atencio!

Dude! You are absolutely amazing! How do you get your hands on these things!? It's awesome! I adore The Haunted Mansion and it's history and you make it more fun for me and for everyone else who enjoys it. I'm so glad I found you. I love you! ❤

Ohhh man that's some great footage of the original HHGs and little Leota

Oh this is INCREDIBLE

Amazing.

Where did you get that?? That's awesome! Thank you

Ok so there was actually a flashing April December portrait wooooow

Yes, it seems as if this version starts on the F note where as Florida’s starts on the A note.

this is so much fun!

How did you identify this as WDW?

Madame Leota • Phantom Manor (2019)

I think they should keep the sound effects for the pop up ghosts.

4:12

Where’d you find this audio? It’s different than the 73 and 76 recordings we have.

The quality is actually pretty decent for 1971!

Amazing!

The prisoner sounds like Mickey Mouse

Those must be termites. Just some big ass termites that's all.

The rarest sound of all from WDW.

Sounds like my butt after too much Mexican food

I love paul frees
