ghost actor killed it. fantastic voice.
seriously how'd you get the fx on the ghost voice?!?!
They definitely spliced in the actual ride audio for that. You could easily get it on the Haunted Mansion Soundtrack
they actually used the audio from the actual ride
they actually used the audio from the actual ride
the voice was corey burton who does alot of voice over work for the movies and shows and even the rides at disney. i believe that line was from the ride soundtrack although i wouldn't know that for sure since i've never been to disney or rode haunted mansion before, but i do know i recognize corey burton as the voice.
The shot of the guys holding up Lisa (Jess' actress) while she's being pulled from the ride, I didn't notice before, that there was another guy holding a fake tree branch over the actors that made it look like they were passing under the dead trees outside the Mansion as they descended from the attic to the back yard scene, and then comparing the behind the scenes shot to the shot that ended up in the movie. That was pretty cool, I like little touches like that. :D
I want to see more films from these brothers; they are amazingly talented! These guys are future academy award winners!
The Hatbox Ghost is my most favorite Haunted Mansion character.
I thought missing in the mansion was real
Edgar quijada ME TOO!
Lol ikr
Me too
Me three.

Love the short!! I love "Guerilla Style" shooting! You guys did an awesome job!! I'm impressed! I don't subscribe to a lot of channels, but you guys are certainly entertaining!!! Paper plates for speakers... Lol!! Had me fooled! "Doom Buggy" very impressive! You guys are very creative! I really thought you had the help of a cast member in the park! Keep up the great work! I can't wait for you guys to make it to the big screen! Look out Coen Brothers... There's some new brothers in town!
I just wanted to say how awesome it was to see you guys use the "hatbox ghost." Probably not too many people know his history - you guys find a way to make the gag actually work on the ride! (Too bad about Jess, though).
Excellent work. As a huge Disney/Disneyland and Haunted Mansion fan, this was GREAT.
No joke, this is a true story. When I first saw this back when it came out, I was in a big "Haunted Mansion Phase" and looked up everything I could about the ride, the history and all that. While researching the mansion, I came across that video. Now, I was 9 at the time, so I was very gullible. I got scared out of my mind after watching that video, and I didn't stop believing that it was real for a while. The summer of 2013 came, and we took a trip to Disney World. I was very conflicted, I wanted to go on the ride, and I didn't at the same time. By the time we got out of the elevator, I was in tears and we went out of a secret exit. I randomly thought of that video today, and found this. Thanks for making me too scared to ride that ride. No bad feelings towards you though lol!
when this came out I was also 9, I too thought it was real as well but I LOVED IT! this is the reason I love the Hatbox Ghost
I was either 9 or 10, this is by far the best ride there.
Hey man, don't feel bad, I, too, have an interesting story for my first encounter with a found footage style scary movie. LOL
I was 19 at the time, so back in 2009, and long story short, I was going through a lot of family troubles at home, which sent me into a kind of semi-nervous breakdown for a while, and thus lowered some of my simplest and most common mental and emotional defenses. I saw another scary movie at the time, and it scared me to death; as in, I couldn't go to sleep without a light on for the next 4 or 5 months, it was bad. And until that point, I don't think any other movie scared me that bad! XD
And then, I found cure for this crippling phobia from the most unlikely source: another scary movie! My friend I've known since high school wanted to see the first Paranormal Activity movie when it came out in Halloween of 2009, and I know I heard people comparing it to The Blair Witch Project, another well known found footage scary movie, but I hadn't seen it (I still haven't, but I'm okay with that), so I didn't really know what I was getting into. So off we went to see the movie.
For some reason, I was convinced that all of that movie was real, and some of the scariest parts of that movie, which only would have normally gotten a few chills out of me and some commentary on how impressive the effects were, instead terrified me! I was actually very scared and angry at the demon in that movie for what it was doing to those poor people...and then, the end of the movie came, and in rolled the credits. I thought, what?!? It was actually a movie? I was scared of THAT the whole time?! It also helped that my friend was kinda keeping the illusion going for a little while, in her own way, but she only meant it in all good fun, and it actually had really great results! So, just like that, voila, I was cured of that fear I had, and it never came back! ;)
In fact, my friend and I ended up liking Paranormal Activity so much that we made it a tradition to go back to the movies and see its sequels whenever they came out, and once we were in the theater, we poked fun at each other for what happened the first time around. XD And ever since then, it's been a hilarious story to tell. :P
So yeah, don't feel bad, if I was as young as you were at the time you saw "Missing in the Mansion," I'd probably react a lot of the same way. :D I do hope, though, that you got to ride the Haunted Mansion again at some point? Or if you haven't, you think you will again? :)
I am a full on Disneyland addict... This ride is one of my favorites of all time. You have taken this to a whole new level :), amazing. Although I knew it was all acting, you had me creeped out :) ... Great job you guys!!! I will be looking at this ride in a whole new way when I visit again this July!
That was just her natural reaction.
I'm a former cast member who has ridden Haunted Mansion at WDW a thousand times and this fooled me with the doombuggy chair. very well done! The sound effects and Hatbox Ghost were awesome!
Excellent effects, genuine scares and creeps, and excellent acting all achieved on an absolutely negative budget.
Proof that all you need is guts, grit, and a camera to make a good film.
They did. They spontaneous started clapping when she said yes. :-)
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GHOST DISNEY FILMS I EVER SEEN
We love the Haunted Mansion and wanted to make a short for the fans.
The Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride at Disneyland and "found footage" movies are also my favorite! This is awesome!
wow!!! My hats off to all the actors in "Missing In The Mansion" You guys were fantastic!!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
On the actual video I was like "FAKE" but I didn't even know they had a behind the scenes video
I gotta be honest, I actually was convinced that this was real, and since there are a lot of these rumors at Disneyland I was curious about this, so it was convincing until the Hatbox ghost then I started to catch on. And also you guys said "Low Budget " no, that looked pretty professional to me.
Well as the Disney Parks Blog said "the hatbox ghost is reappearing so he was always there so I watched this after they announced that the hatbox ghost is reappearing so I really thought it was real
I love how you guys pulled it off on a small budget. Especially the fake ride cart. Awesome job guys.
Amazing job guys! I was amazed the first time I saw this short, and it's still one of my favorites! I hope you plan on doing some more shorts with some of the other attractions.
Oh my gosh!!! You guys did amazing!!!! I love the story of Joshua and the Hatbox ghost!!!! Thank you for doing this COMPLETLY AWESOME tribute to my resting place...
Sincerely,
TheDarkRideBoy
I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from Disney stumbled upon this and wanted to incorporate it into a once a month or once a year thing! I mean they do stuff for Halloween i am sure but this is fantastic! Next time I will have a whole new respect for how scary the haunted mansion really is!
missing in the mansion is may absolute favorite short film! great great job guys!
Very clever Guy's, good work to all of you!
Guests were able to see the ghost's head in the box when it was on his shoulders, so they removed him from the ride :)
I know.
I saw the other video before this one and I must say that it was very well put together. Good job guys!
Unbelievable work, you two are on the right path to making incredible films.
A great homage to the best ride in Disneyland!
I respect you guys so much for doing this behind the scenes Q and A. Definitely Subing for this! Excellent all around!
Wow, at first thought, finally, they added the HatBox Ghost - it was that realistic! Excellent & Fun.
Honestly the best video I have ever seen. I have a huge love for haunted mansion and all of the creepy myths surrounding it, so this was incredibly awesome & I was sincerely scared. Bringing in the hatbox ghost was just the icing on the cake. Thanks for creating this & sharing it with the world.
QUESTION: Where did you acquire your costume for the HatBox Ghost? If you used patterns, which did you use?
+TheDarkRideBoy good one. My ex would LOVE to have a hat box ghost costume
Really awesome job of creating the story and special effects!!!
You guys made an amazing short! I would love it if you guys made more. Keep up the great work.
Awesome work guys!
Yall did a great job on making this. I had goosebumps.
That girl was adorable- she reminds me of Sandy Duncan.
WOW you guys went all out on this. totally awesome vid guys and thanks for this behind the scenes vid too! :)
I just want to say that was a really cool film to watch! it really was well made and the planning that went into it paid off. The 'making of' was just as entertaining, thanks guys for producing a top vid! :)
how did you guys get the camera without no one sitting there
Well done!! That was amazing!
OK. Now I think I can go back on the ride again! I was really freaked out when I first saw it. Amazing acting! Unbelievable filming! You guys are going to go far in the industry! Will be following you to see what you do next! Good luck!!
you guys deserve the best short film award. for low budget it was an excellent film. keep up the good work!!
Very nice job. you've taken anotherwise goofy Disney ride and made it into a horrifying place to visit.
This is so good so amazing! PLEASE do more - you guys are very talented!!!
Great job, guys.
Wonderful stuff, love the short film.
That was so cool!!! I love how you did the mini film!!!
This was great! Better acting than most movies.
great work you guys are AWSOME
The woman who plays Jess is not only cute as a button, but she is quite the actress. The way she reacted during the proposal and when the camera sneaked up on her was so natural that I thought you were shooting a real proposal and had just worked it into your guerilla film.
Yup they must have been practicing good
Yeah, they did a pretty good job with everything, the ghosts were very impressive as well. I like how there were other people at the park in front of the castle and they clapped when they saw the "proposal." LOL
I also liked the little boy, Grant, in this video, when they make him say "Coffee is for closers." That was adorable. XD
+Matthew Krause
I'm a female and even I thought she was adorable! But that's besides the point. It did look like a real proposal, and they are REALLY good actors/actresses.
This short film was something that, if you're in Disney, or were in Disney, you DON'T wanna cross that ride again. We went on that ride this year, and it was AWESOME. Until I saw this video.
You dudes are radical. Excellent work on this project; super inspiring.
Loved "Missing" and also the behind the scenes making of. Great and imagination.
Freaking awesome! The Haunted Mansion is my all time favorite ride and you guys made it even better!!!
I’m gonna say it: this Hatbox Ghost looks VASTLY better than Jared Leto’s. It’s not a dig at Leto, but the fact that they could have EASILY used makeup to transform him, but used CGI. I also love the costume here.
Y’all somehow did better at designing a well established character than a multi billion dollar company. Kudos.
This was awesome!!!! Nice job guys. I loved it :)
Such AMAZING talent. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You guys are awesome!
I LOVE the haunted mansion and the story of the hatbox ghost and when I watched this I was so happy of the outcome! You guys did amazing and the actors were fantastic! Have you thought about doing more "Disney" short films?
i think this is awesome! great work gentlemen!
wow this actually looked real. awesome work dude!
Great job putting everything together, it’s fantastic the things you can do with a green screen!
Wondeful! I loved this film! So well made! I'm just glad I watchd it the day after I went on the ride :)
Even after watching this video, I'm still scared to watch the short film again. Very nicely done, four for you~
this short movie was amazing! I'll be visiting Disney in a couple weeks and am sure I will be thinking of your short as I take a ride in my doom-buggie in the Haunted Mansion!
Way Cool guys! This was very entertaining! Thanks for everything!!
Congrats on a really fine piece of work! I will never experience the Haunted Mansion the same way again...
Great concept and exicution, guys. I enjoyed both your movie and 'making of'.
how did you put Jess' face on the bucket a picture or it's the camera
It's not a bucket, it's a hatbox
Digital compositing, they basically took the box part of the hatbox and overlaid footage of the head on top of it during editing. Like there's a few tweaks and such but that's basically how they did it.
is this short film unofficial?
I thought it's official short film🤭
I was really scared😱
fantastic!! from 🇯🇵
Wow! fantastic!
You Guys Are Great!
Awesome short❤👏
Hope you guys get to film a full on movie that follows the short film one day. It would be really cool. Great job on the short film. I loved it.
The cast members are great at playing their roles...they are supposed to react to situations pertaining to the role they play, and Joan did a great job...go on some of these rides where it is a horror setting and have fun with the cast members...it is a riot.
JEEZZZEEEE!!!! When u guys were outting on his makeup, it looked like he had no eyes!
Wow! Way to be resourceful! Great job you guys. :)
omg this is so perfect!!! i watch the vid and was astounded...scared out of my headphones!! perfect!
Well done!!!
dude the short film was scary good job
Awesome job, ya'll!
Holy crap you guys are creative!!
That's great! Awesome job guys, I hope you will make another short movie disney related because Missing in the Mansion is wonderful. Tower of Terror maybe? There was a nice movie about it but it became old now.
You're short film scared the shit out me lol great job!
wow great job you guys one of the best short films ever wow this was really well done you guys had me screaming like a girl lol one of the best low budget films ever can't to see what you guys make next

Did the crowds really think someone just got proposed?
That short was awesome I seen it on mousewait and loved it.
'Missing' was fantastic. Loved it. Can't wait to see the next mini-epic, if you guys do another. Disneyland is what drew me in, but I understand it's probably a one time trick, right?

Nicely done.
Me too I was scared until I watched this thanks for reassuring us guys
