I know what some people will say but they cannot deny the facts in that this is the most legendary video on RUclips. It is as old as the video streaming service itself and has been with us since the old ones. Thank you RU for endowing us with such a video!!
i am in love with NOT just the ride itself. the characters, the music, the art, how it looks and the hystory behind it. Thats what makes it all amazing....
Out of all the Haunted Mansion ride-through videos, this is probably the best-edited. Sure, if it's updated with HD footage, it would be perfect, I like the fact that there are no crowd noises (especially during the stretching room scene) whatsoever. It makes me feel like I am actually experiencing the ride!
I had this, along with Pirates of the Caribbean and a tour of New Orleans Square on a single DVD. It's crazy how nowadays you can just hop on RUclips and look up ride footage rather than ordering a DVD.
And this was probably the finest ever made. It was a huge success back when it opened on August 9th, 1969, and had some of the best illusions Disneyland had to offer. Even up to today with all of the new rides being built, it still remains one of the best.
Even after all these years with all the HD and 4K and VR, this is still my favorite POV of the ride I can find on RUclips. It almost feels like I'm watching a story within a ride, almost like a movie or something. This was one of the first videos I ever watched on RUclips back in 2008, and it's still one of the best.
"SHHH....listen" 40 years ago today, aug 9 1969, HM officially opened to the public. Happy Birthday Mansion! your beautiful work by marc davis and claude coats still blows people's minds today!
Thank you for being so loyal. When this was shot there was no such thing as 1080p (at least at the consumer level.) But this is a lower quality I will admit. I have been thinking of re-releasing my vids in a much higher quality now. Just haven't found the time.
your haunted mansion video is the one I ALWAYS watch, even if the quality isn't as good as newer videos, mainly because of your opening exterior shots and the nice narration at the beginning. it's awesome and sets a good atmosphere
Ah this was so amazing, thank you for the trip back into the past. This ride was so much better as the Haunted Mansion rather than the new nightmare before Christmas ride..
Still one of the very best ride-thru videos currently on youtube. Please never take it down. It's good to be able to see the place as it was before the 2005 and 2006 changes.
Now this is a nostalgia trip. I used to watch this video religiously as a kid, sometimes multiple times a day. To say I really love this ride is a massive understatement and it’s so cool to have such a good quality recording of the ride how I remember it as a kid.
Another awesome video by ru42! We just got back from Disneyland a few days ago and I was so disappointed that they had the "Christmas" version of the Haunted Mansion. It has been 15 years since I was at Disneyland and I wanted to see the original Haunted Mansion and show it to my nephews and husband. This video allowed me to do this. Thanks again for all your hard work in putting this together.
i went here with a school group and i dont know when i will be able to go back. thanks for you videos it still keeps my dream alive! ( even if things in this ride arent)
the room with the growing wall freaked me out and when he said there are no windows or doors i was like oh crap then i started crying ha ha im not good with haunted houses
Thanks, Im going on August 3rd and was want to capture my daughters face on every ride she goes on. Thanks again. Good video by the way, almost seemed like a promo from disney.
actually, it's the reason my wife and I are considering travelling across country some holiday season. We love the haunted mansion and go on it every chance we get at Disney World, but they don't do this there, and we'd LOVE to see it!
My most shameful misheard lyric: "Shrouded in a daft disguise" >> "Shrouded in a cat disguise." My brother got the Disney record "Trick or Treat" for his birthday one year in the early seventies. On the flip side was "The Haunted Mansion" with Ron Howard. It scared the piss out of me. Often when going through the HM at DL, I'll intentionally sing the wrong lyric -- "cat disguise" -- in homage to my childhood :-).
@starpeep2223 - the best times to go are after New Years but before Spring Breaks in Mar/Apr. May is pretty good. Then again Sept is very good. Oct/Nov/Dec are good if you avoid holidays and weekends. The 2 best months to go are March before Spring Break and September (usually late Sept is better)
Wow! I haven't been to Disneyland since I was five years old, and I'm 40 now. This is the only thing about Disneyland I can remember, and I remember it vividly. I was obsessed with the ghost at the end who says "hurry back," and it was so great to see her again! Amazing how much I remember.
TANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!! The Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride i ever made but I live in quebec so I can't do this ride every day only at 2 or 3 year so I'M HAPPY to see this video EVERY DAY!!! my dream is to work there!
Oh gee. I remember at 3:32 I grabbed my dads jacket and hid inside it. I was so terrified xD AAAAAANNNNND when our little cars were having that little weird pausing thing that they do, me and my mom were stuck at the part where the candle floats in midair and looks like it's getting closer and closer by the second. (at 6:53) That part REALLY freaked me out! But now, I think it's hilarious! Aaaaahhhh memories.....when the world was so simple :)
Once again you have captured every single detail of a ride (which one normally doesn't have time to see being rushed through). I don't know how many times you must've ridden to get footage like this, but thank you so much for your hard work!
@girlofGod1shirley - I saw lots of Disney videos that only showed portions of rides. I wanted to do more and capture everything I could to completely recreate the line and ride. HM is a tough one, takes about 12 ride thrus to capture all the footage I need.
I LOVE THIS RIDE! I used to be scared of this ride, when I was like 10 years old, but after going on it the second time, on the same day, I loved it! This is one of my most favorite rides in disneyland.
@ru42 This almost made me cry, in a good way. I want to go on this ride so badly, but as i'm a college student and way far from this attraction, it's probably not going to happen, but being able to imagine it by watching this video is wonderful, thank you!
I've only ridden on this once, excluding the holiday version. After that, my gut told me to stay away from that place. But now, after listening to the music in October... I WANT TO RIDE IT SO BADLY.
Wow this brings back so many memories - I went with my Mom and Dad in 1976 - I was 4. The Haunted Mansion is what I remember the most, probably because my parents bought me the "See, Hear and Read" book with the record in it - I kept it all these years, actually was able to go through this video page by page with the book - so happy to see it almost exactly as the book...thanks for this memory...especially the ghost at the end in the mirror sitting with me and my Mom.....
This is the best hm tour video I've seen yet! You have the original (and I mean "THE" full and original) soundtrack and isolated video. Although I must say, I'm a little disappointed you didn't include the full track (though I totally c why you did it for practical and artistic purposes). All in all you did an exceptionally good job with this video and have pleased a die hard fan of this ride. Thank you.
Wow, the sound in this is isolated! Much better than the first version of this where annoying "guests" babble in get in the way! You must have ridden this many times to get so many angles and edit this so smoothly? And the party is LONGER! Yay! I could study the place settings and detial. I wonder if they just LET dust gather naturally! They really could...
@Miracle490d - Greetings and thanks for all you comments on this and other rides. This is the 2004 version of the ride. Look at all my videos and look for the haunted mansion 2007 version. That is the current one. On my profile is a link to my site site which has videos broken down by land.
i absolutely love this ride. went on it last april about 7 times... 6 times during the day and once at night. so much creepier and more awesome at night.
Thanks so much for this. I once went on the Haunted mansion at Disney land 29 times in a row. Now I live over 2400 miles away, so can't quite get there every year ;)
The pipe organ in the ballroom was really used in Walt Disney's film, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The organ at Disney World's Magic Kingdom is a replica.

I know what some people will say but they cannot deny the facts in that this is the most legendary video on RUclips. It is as old as the video streaming service itself and has been with us since the old ones. Thank you RU for endowing us with such a video!!
Indeed, I was making videos of Disneyland in the extremely early days of RUclips. I am releasing this video in a much higher quality
i am in love with NOT just the ride itself. the characters, the music, the art, how it looks and the hystory behind it. Thats what makes it all amazing....
Out of all the Haunted Mansion ride-through videos, this is probably the best-edited.

It makes me feel like I am actually experiencing the ride!
I just released a higher resolution of this video
This was no doubt one of the greatest dark rides ever created. It focuses on top notch illusions and details instead of pure scariness.
Indeed
I remember when I watched this all the time when I was 7 to 8. I'm 16 now. So nostalgic.
Same! I'm also 16 lol that's a big coincidence
Omg me too so much has changed
I had this, along with Pirates of the Caribbean and a tour of New Orleans Square on a single DVD.
It's crazy how nowadays you can just hop on RUclips and look up ride footage rather than ordering a DVD.
I used to watch this when I was 16 and now I'm 23.
RETIRED CHANNEL same I was 9 when I watched this and now I'm 18
If you are referring to the ball room scene the effect is called Pepper's ghost - it is done with lighting and glass not projectors and mirrors.
And this was probably the finest ever made. It was a huge success back when it opened on August 9th, 1969, and had some of the best illusions Disneyland had to offer. Even up to today with all of the new rides being built, it still remains one of the best.
A timeless classic
Even after all these years with all the HD and 4K and VR, this is still my favorite POV of the ride I can find on RUclips. It almost feels like I'm watching a story within a ride, almost like a movie or something. This was one of the first videos I ever watched on RUclips back in 2008, and it's still one of the best.
Thank you so very much. My goal was to preserve the ride. Now everyone has a camera/video but don't take the time to do it right
Me Me me me too You me it's to you do good yeah.
The beginning elevator room was pure nightmare fuel when I was little, though now I appreciate its charm
It’s my most favorite part of the ride 😁
This video was my gateway into everything Haunted Mansion / Disney Parks. Thank you!
Absolutely the best version! Great job, RU! Thank you for capturing what I love most about this ride.
My pleasure!
"SHHH....listen"

ok
Love your video. You did a great job with the audio! It really captured the "feel" of the ride. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
This ride hasn't changed much in 50 years. Still Very Entertaining! I haven't been to DL since 1998 and this is just how I remember it! Thanks!!
your haunted mansion video is the one I ALWAYS watch, even if the quality isn't as good as newer videos, mainly because of your opening exterior shots and the nice narration at the beginning. it's awesome and sets a good atmosphere
I just uploaded higher resolutions of this video (and all the others)
yeahhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh.
I love how when you're in the elevator everyone who has been there a ton of time will quote the speech word for word...
"Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding." That is seriously brilliant.
I'm a day late, but *HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY* to this video! So much nostalgia for this version of the ride :(
Rise 😇😇
@@ethantuttle6181 Hmm?
Sebizzar ?
@@ethantuttle6181 Rise?
Thank you
I love the way you filmed this, kinda has that documentary vibe to it.
I wanted to preserve the magic
@@ru42 :) nice back again
It is the hardest ride to video tape. To make a single production I generally have to ride the ride 12 times to get the footage I need.
Happy 50th Anniversary dear Haunted Mansion! A great ride
A true Disney classic
This video is amazing! I used to watch this all the time when i was 4!
I just uploaded a higher resolution version of this video
Mee tooooo, i gave you like 1000 views when i was 4 too
Still my favorite version on RUclips. Thank you. =)
You are welcome. See the new higher resolution I recently posted
all the attractions in disney land are old but legendary.
The best
I love how the ride has this fancy house, but the whole ride is actually in a huge sound stage.
Ah this was so amazing, thank you for the trip back into the past.
This ride was so much better as the Haunted Mansion rather than the new nightmare before Christmas ride..
I mean the nightmare before Christmas ride is a seasonal overlay, not a complete replacement. The original haunted mansion is still there
It's because of roles like this that Paul Frees ranks in my top 3 voice actors of all time!
It is an effect called Peppers Ghost; you can do a google search and find out all about it.
Still one of the very best ride-thru videos currently on youtube. Please never take it down. It's good to be able to see the place as it was before the 2005 and 2006 changes.
Don't forget X. He was a mastermind behind this too.
I can't stop watching this video, I just love finding videos like this around halloween time.
Now this is a nostalgia trip. I used to watch this video religiously as a kid, sometimes multiple times a day. To say I really love this ride is a massive understatement and it’s so cool to have such a good quality recording of the ride how I remember it as a kid.
Candle 🕯 isn’t always sane distance but here it IS as it is again now
Cool Video! Great job with the sound! It's nice to see the old bride again, even if just for a second. Thanks!
Yes, this is Disneyland Anaheim circa 2004 before the latest changes. I have another video in RUclips that is the more recent version.
Another awesome video by ru42! We just got back from Disneyland a few days ago and I was so disappointed that they had the "Christmas" version of the Haunted Mansion. It has been 15 years since I was at Disneyland and I wanted to see the original Haunted Mansion and show it to my nephews and husband. This video allowed me to do this.

i went here with a school group and i dont know when i will be able to go back. thanks for you videos it still keeps my dream alive!
( even if things in this ride arent)
Thank you
Does anyone else LOVE Paul Free's voice work as the Ghost Host on this ride? It's so brilliantly grim, it's delicious.
I love Paul Frees
Finally, someone catches the duelers in the ballroom!
Oh, God! I remember watching this twenty times a day back in like 2003 when I was active on VisionsFantasic. Thanks, RU42!
the room with the growing wall freaked me out and when he said there are no windows or doors i was like oh crap then i started crying ha ha im not good with haunted houses
I'm so happy this one is back....it's my favorite Haunted Mansion video and you went away....don't go again :)
Just re-released this video is higher resolution
Yes, I have the new version on RUclips as well.
Thanks, Im going on August 3rd and was want to capture my daughters face on every ride she goes on. Thanks again. Good video by the way, almost seemed like a promo from disney.
Woman:(terrified): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
The Ghost Host:(sarcastic): Oh, I Didn't Mean To Frighten You Prematurely.
(evil snickering)
actually, it's the reason my wife and I are considering travelling across country some holiday season. We love the haunted mansion and go on it every chance we get at Disney World, but they don't do this there, and we'd LOVE to see it!
I used to watch this video all the time
Don't stop, new higher resolution version has been uploaded
The best haunted house story ever told! My favorites are the Pharoh wallpaper, the long hallways, the creaking door sounds, and the cobwebs! Spooky!
The Hallway, in this video, always sends shivers up my spine! 😨
Me,too!
you could say, hot and cold running chills
@@ru42 Yes...!
every room has wall to wall creeps
and hot and cold running chills..
shhhh
listen.
:D i love it!

Going there during spring break for the millionth time! I love it!! Nothing better than living in California!
Indeed
:D GOING IN AUGUST!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!
Hope you had a good trip
Me tooooooooooooooo Thanks you.
Well done! I watch this every October just because it is close to Halloween. Anyway, best ride through vid of the Haunted Mansion! Good job.
The haunted mansion!
Thank you
always watch this around halloween time
+Green Raptor Studios
Me too I love Disneyland and this time of year :D
Should watch the Haunted Mansion Holiday version
I went to Disneyland last year when before I moved to Arkansas, and Haunted Mansion was my favorite ride of all time!
7:22 would be a good time to start playing "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. LOL! I mean, you know?
I frickin love this ride!!! I could watch this video over and over again! It gets me so pumped for HALLOWEEN!
When did this video came back? i thought it was gone forever?
Me too!
Haunted Amusement! Me three!
A new higher resolution of this video was just released
Thank-you for this recording! I miss seeing the changing portraits with the slow-fade effect (not to mention April/December).
They should make a Five Nights at The Haunted Mansion game. And Maybe Five Nights at The Stanley Hotel.
This is Ryan lol I know
The latter was the filming location of the '97 The Shining miniseries, not the Kubrick film. I'm sure you know that.
Design it
@starpeep2223 - the best times to go are after New Years but before Spring Breaks in Mar/Apr. May is pretty good. Then again Sept is very good. Oct/Nov/Dec are good if you avoid holidays and weekends.

Thank you RU. This makes my day. I can't visit Disneyland for quite some time due to financial and physical disabilities.
You are welcome
this ride is so freakin awesome, this and the Tower of Terror are my favorite
darkgaia01 Tower of Terror in Anaheim isn’t there now
I like how grim grinning ghosts fades in while still following the beat of the attic piano
I always love this video. The Haunted Mansion is always one of my favorite Disneyland rides ever, of all time.
Awesome
@ru42 I saw your DVDs--they look great! I was thinking they might be a great Holiday gifts. Thanks again!
Oh gee. I remember at 3:32 I grabbed my dads jacket and hid inside it.

you know what you do whenever you see a ghost??? you sneak up on it really quietly and say "GET HER!!!"
Greatest attraction ever designed! Pure fantasy and fun!
That brings back memories :) My favourite Disneyland attraction. I h ave to go back there again. :)
Once again you have captured every single detail of a ride (which one normally doesn't have time to see being rushed through). I don't know how many times you must've ridden to get footage like this, but thank you so much for your hard work!
ru42.
I love this ride. The walt designed version is amazing.
damn... this brings back great memories... i remember everytime i went back it was differently themed. OOH!!! dang that was so fun

i remeber trying to take a secret pic in the early 80s in the chairs, got a talkin to by the staff. thanks for the memories

I think I remember having a VHS similar to this, remember seeing disney villains walking around
This is the best hm tour video I've seen yet! You have the original (and I mean "THE" full and original) soundtrack and isolated video.

It is frighteningly good.

Wow, the sound in this is isolated! Much better than the first version of this where annoying "guests" babble in get in the way! You must have ridden this many times to get so many angles and edit this so smoothly? And the party is LONGER! Yay! I could study the place settings and detial. I wonder if they just LET dust gather naturally! They really could...
@Miracle490d - Greetings and thanks for all you comments on this and other rides. This is the 2004 version of the ride. Look at all my videos and look for the haunted mansion 2007 version. That is the current one.
On my profile is a link to my site site which has videos broken down by land.
So glad you caught video of all the effects pre refurbishment, I can finally see the Changing Portraits before the lightning effect!
i absolutely love this ride. went on it last april about 7 times... 6 times during the day and once at night. so much creepier and more awesome at night.
oh my goshhh im going during march too! haha thats so cool. yeah i loveee disney. its like a part of me haha!
They do this every year from Sept to Jan. It is a temporary lay over of the ride.
@WeirdAl45231 - The intro you hear is not me but comes from a 1969 (IIRC) album put out by Disney about the Haunted Mansion.
Thanks so much for this. I once went on the Haunted mansion at Disney land 29 times in a row. Now I live over 2400 miles away, so can't quite get there every year ;)
ooooookkkkkkkkkk oooooookkkkkkkk oooooookkkkkkkkk ooookkkkkkkk ooooooooooooookkaaaay.
You walk through the mansion then you sit in something. When you are in it sit back and enjoy the ride. No matter how scary it is, just relax.
Wow, this ride looks sweet... if/when I ever go to Disney World I definitely wanna go on this ride! Thanks for uploading. :D
The pipe organ in the ballroom was really used in Walt Disney's film, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The organ at Disney World's Magic Kingdom is a replica.
