Join Maleficent along with a few other villainous friends at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, for a Grim Grinning Ghosts Sing-along. It's a frightfully fun time!
Same. Young me was terrified/would be filled w/ dread by this part of the VHS tape for years... Same w/ Night on Bald Mountain, but that's way more understandable to my kid and adult brain.
I miss the 1990s it was fun this video reminded me of that. Wishbone halloween special and Disney legend of sleepy hallow Today's movies are eough to scared you for life.
Was thinking of this from an old Darkwing Duck halloween special vhs I used to love watching like 20 years ago. Those trees scarred me for life and the scene where they all gather around before maleficent goes "Boo!" haunts me to this day.
This terrified me as a child. My mom always tried to calm me down though by pointing out how Donald was there (I loved Donald) and that makes it unscary. Now it just makes me realize Donald was doing some shady shit undercover.
I was the same way, i was happy seeing donald, and i was still nervous with the villains, but i was ok because i recognized the characters, but those fucking trees terrified me....they still creep me out 20 years later
@@randomperson8571 Have you ever seen the part of "Mickey and the Beanstalk" when Donald briefly goes insane with hunger and charges at their cow with an axe? That's pretty scary.
Plumface-sama same yeah cuz like now I can't even go to bed without thinking to myself "this is what's going on at Disneyland right now as I'm going to sleep"
I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW LAUGHING SO HARD AT ALL THE COMMENTS SAYING THEY WERE SCREWED BY THIS WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE!!! This has been an inside joke in my family for such a long time: My mom used to rent the Disney sing-along videos from the library for us and because she knew the content would be safe, she would let us watch them alone. Then this came on and we all started screaming and crying and none of us were brave enough to go near the TV and turn it off. I'm so happy I found it and that there were so many others who had the same experience. Hope you enjoyed my story 😂
Thats not an inside joke tho. Thats just am experience. An inside joke includes a punchline that no one else gets but people who were in on the event that made the punchline a punchline.
I'm just gonna flat out say I'm one of the millions of kids who got scared by this song back in the day. XD I'm amazed I was able to even watch this at the time.
LittleJerryFan92 i uded to be afriad of this ride. this was from when i was 12 to 21yrs lol. but i just love it now. but i am still afraid of the snow white ride. n i am 33 lol.
I remember as soon as the gates opened I would run into another room and hide when I was little. It still freaks me out. The rest of the video was so cheery and this is such a contrast.
It’s funny because the video is extremely cheery and right before this you have Pooh, and everything’s great. Then the camera starts to pan over to the mansion and it’s still daylight but the kids are just staring at the mansion all distressed and it just takes a turn from there. It’s very clever the way they set it up, they drew upon long shots and classic horror elements before just dropping this on you. At first, everything is good and then BAM, there are the ghosts!
My little sister used to do that back in the day as well as soon as poohs song ended and they showed the mansion gates she’d run to another room and I’d have to tell her when it was over that was back in the early 2000’s but I still remember it
What is this tape called?! I had it growing up and I'm trying to find the full thing on RUclips to show my kids. I remember some child eating spaghetti and Tigger was there and then this was the end of the video and I loved this part but my sisters were terrified 🤣
This traumatized me as a kid I loved it and constantly rewatched it but it also terrified me so much that I couldn’t sleep alone for weeks after EVERYTIME I watched it
I saw the movie about maleifacent and I saw her storyline In my opinion I don't believe she is a villain or a bad person If you piss her off that's when she becomes very mean and scary
Same. 😂 I had it on a vhs and watched it on repeat all year long. It literally just hit me that this is likely where my love of horror and all things Halloween came from. 😂
My grandparents had this vhs tape too. I used to watch it at least once a visit. Does anybody know if this thing still exists and is it at Disneyland in California or Disney world in Florida?
This video is a trauma we all share from childhood. Which in a weird way is kinda cool cuz it’s something we all have in common. I first saw this myself when I was about 4 years old. At the time I thought nothing of it cuz I don’t think I sat through the whole thing. Seeing it again when I was 7 was a NIGHTMARE! Now that I’m older, I dunno, it seems like this would be kinda fun, I mean how often do you get to ham it up with Disney villains at the haunted mansion of all places, am I right? We could do spoopy stuffs and drink mint juleps. Edit: Who thinks the haunted mansion should’ve been a walkthrough attraction? Could you imagine walking through phantom manor? JESUS O.O
Bri Mundorff Because they were strapped for Villain walkaround characters back before the Renaissance’s apex. If this was made in the late 90’s, they’d definitely have more Villains to work with.
I LOVED watching this as a kid!!! My mom recorded all the Disney Halloween Treat specials on VHS and we wore out those tapes 😆 I am SO happy to have found this!!
That was the singer’s name! Thank you! And thank you Thurl Ravenscroft for singing in “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and for Tony the Tiger. “ Theyyyyy’rrrrreeeee Grrrrrreat!”
Same here. The Evil Queen and Maleficent also freaked me out but one of the parts I didn't like was when he sang "Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide, or a silly spook may sit by your side." I took it literally as a kid and it really scared me. The "Creepy creeps with eerie eyes." part also scared me as a kid because it was like they were staring straight at you, waiting to come after you.
I asked my parents to make a costume similar to the scary trees. I ended up with a cardboard box spray painted brown with a cutout for my face and holding 2 tree branches.
I somehow watched this when I was younger and it haunted my dreams, completely terrified me. I was never the same after watching this, and I searched for it to see if it was real and I’m glad I wasn’t just going insane.
Apparently this song scared the living bejesus out of most people when they were kids. It was always my favorite part, I would rewind it over and over. Thank you for posting it, I never thought I would see or hear it again!
I haven't thought about this in decades, yet all it took was throwing a sheet over me while I was playing with my 1-year-old to bring this all back. Memory is a weird thing, man.
I have a distinct memory of watching this on a summer evening when I was like 3 or 4, and my mom went to the neighbors house or something, and this came on during the Sing Along Songs. It wasn't the first time I had watched the video, but I remember being so scared that time. Probably because I was alone. I looked outside and couldn't find my mom, so I started crying. This and Heffalumps and Woozles freaked me out. Yesterday, almost 20 years later, I mentioned the songs to my dad and apparently I was so scared of them that he's STILL sympathetic.
I remember watching this on my vcr as a kid. I had a bunch of Walt Disney World seasonal VHS tapes. I would watch Halloween ones the most...and now im goth as an adult 🤣
Oh my god, same here. I couldn’t even move without thinking that The Big Bad Wolf, Captain Hook, The Evil Queen, Maleficent, Donald Duck, And Some trees would appear out of nowhere and get me.
I now understand why I am the weird adult I am today. This was my favorite song on the Disney sing alongs! No wonder I love Halloween and spooky stuff so much!!
I had this on tape & would constantly rewind it to watch it over & over. I guess it was more of a Halloween tone to me when I was 7 cause it never creeped me out. I was thinking of this song & am very happy someone posted it. Now I can dance & sing to it as I did many moons ago. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Every time I watched my Disneyland Fun video when I was a little girl, I always wanted my mom or dad or big brother to fast forward through this part because it always infinitely scared me to death--especially when Maleficent appears and when she says BOO!!!!!!
So funny. When i was younger, I was so freaking terrified of this part yet i had to keep rewatching it to the point where i annoyed my family lol. Turns out I grew up to love horror. Go figure (: This will always be my first "scary" video though. The costumes are so grotesque and their facial expressions are perfect.
+Priya Sridhar The scene where she's looking at you at 1:32 terrified me when I was a child; I would remember hiding under the covers when she came up onscreen and was afraid to watch this video because of her. I always called her the "Scary Green Lady", because at the time I was watching this video, I never saw Sleeping Beauty, so I didn't know who she was.
Oh man. The memories. I used to watch this VHS over and over again as a kid. Of course, this part always scared the crap me. Watching it years later, it still creeps me out.
Interesting fact is that the woman playing Maleficent and the scream when she appeared is my late Auntie Linda, My dad's sister. As far back as I can remember she was a HUGE disney fan and had alot of disney decor in her house. She always took me and my cousins to Disneyland alot. When I gotten older she told me she use to be a performer cast member, showed me her old ID etc. She showed me old photos of her dressed as Maleficent (which ironically was her favorite villain). She told us that she was going to be in a disney vhs tape about visiting the park and they wanted her as Maleficent. So this is her immortality. Also if you remember the old disney vhs home theatre commercial where you get a glimpse of Esmeralda Dancing is my cousin. So in a way Maleficent is my Auntie and Esmeralda is my cousin!
This scared me more than anything when I was little...I vividly remember happily watching the VHS and then this part coming on and me running through my house to hide in my room before I saw the trees. Or my twin brother putting it on just to freak me out. Fun times. :P
Maleficent's first appearance in this song scared the crap out of me when I was a youngster. But looking at her now from a 20 year old perspective, I find her to be really attractive. Now I'm trying to find out the name of the woman in that costume is?
+rance rumbaugh Same with me! xD I was scared of everything when i was little, i covered my eyes on almost all the DisneyLand rides! xD ( including the Haunted mansion )
I used to pop this in my VHS player every year around October as a little kid to celebrate the arrival of Halloween. I’ve always loved Halloween season.
The way how Maleficent was looking at you up close used to be stuck in my head when I was a kid I was so fearful of looking at it she was my nightmare fuel at the time
I remember watching this as a kid over and over again on the Disneyland VHS I had. This made me fall in love with the haunted mansion ride and with Halloween.
As a kid, it traumatized me. It wasn't eve the song. It was the costume characters.....Captain Hook, the hag from Snow White, and that damn Wolf......still gives me the creeps.
The Disney Company should’ve also filmed Grim Grinning Ghosts at the other Haunted Mansion in Florida. It can have its characters like the three Hitchhiking Ghosts, Constance the murderous ghostly bride, the Caretaker, the Hatbox Ghost, and Madame Leota. But the Haunted Mansion can also have a vampire, a zombie, a witch, a werewolf, the Grim Reaper, the Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Headless Horseman. It would be a great combination for a Halloween music video at the Haunted Mansion in Disney World. Very scary! 🏚👻⚰️🕸🪦😱
I liked The Haunted Mansion because it has the Ghost Host, Hitchhiking Ghosts, Hatbox Ghost, The Masked Executioner, and the Bride can also have the Lonesome Ghosts from the 1937 film of the same name, and the 4 Skeleton Dancers from the 1929 Silly Symphony short of the same name.
So everyone got scared of this song as a kid? I swear those trees used to haunt my dreams- and the sound the gate makes would always remind me what song it was and I would hide until they said the "don't try to hide" line and I would just start crying so hard XDDDD
I watched this every Halloween as a kid. I miss when all I had to worry about were these scary "villains." Even back then I had my parents to comfort me, now I have a lot more to worry about and I am on my own.
Same when I was little I literally would just watch the vhs just for this but then again I wasn't afraid of the haunted at age 5 while everyone else is scared of this
I just put on the haunted mansion and was suddenly struck by this core memory. Shoutout all my fellow singalongers lol. Used to watch these tapes at my aunt’s & grandma’s place
I had paralyzing nightmares for the better part of a decade to the trees in this video. I first saw this in preschool and i started seeing them in my dreams open their eye sockets and have bees pour out or their footsteps would map to my heartbeat that i could hear through my ears, it genuinely fucked me up. ive been looking for so long to find the original and now im here, so hi lol
I remember watching this on a VHS as a kid and I would dress up as a ghost and just mimic what Donald Duck did as a ghost in the video. Now a days all I do is play the song for Halloween almost every year. :)
I remember this like it happened yesterday! We used to watch this sing-along weekly in preschool and I was always intrigued by this part but it scared the daylights out of me! 🥴😂
Disneyland should really have a Haunted Mansion show like this every night where all the Disney Villains especially Maleficent dance in front of the Haunted Mansion to this song. That would be fucking super scary but awesome at the same time. I really think that the Haunted Mansion should be 100 x more scarier (it's only scary in the beginning but gets silly as the ride progresses especially as you get to the end) maybe by having Maleficent and the Wicked Queen as her young self or peddler self greet you at the door way or even them be inside the Haunted Mansion.
I swear its THIS song that shaped the future for the music I grew up loving 😂 this was my favorite part on the sing along movie! Ever since I love horror themed music!
I remember seeing this as a child, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was. I don't think I had it on VHS like a lot of other comments are saying. I'm also shocked that three straight Octobers of listening to an electro-swing remix of this song didn't trigger any memories.
I agree! I had all of the disney sing a longs on vhs, so I originally thought this was from one of them. I wanted to watch the whole video, so I tried searching for the Halloween sing a long video, but this music video doesn’t seem to be in the only one I could find (“Happy Haunting”). It has this song, but not this music video in it. So I don’t know where this is from 🤔
Yes I finally found this after all these years! This video always scared the hell out of me when I was about 3-6 years old and I am now 21. Took me forever to find this. I still can't remember what movie this preview opened for though because I watched a lot of movies on VHS when I was a kid. (Aladdin, Toy Story, Tarzan, bugs life, Bambi, the hunchback of notre Dame, Dinosaur, Monsters Inc., Hercules etc.)
It's a comfort knowing I'm not the only one who was messed up as a kid by this video.
lol, you guys must be just a little bit younger than me. My scarred for life moment was Large Marge.
Those damn tree things....oooooofah
Welcome to the club, amigo.
Same. Young me was terrified/would be filled w/ dread by this part of the VHS tape for years... Same w/ Night on Bald Mountain, but that's way more understandable to my kid and adult brain.
I miss the 1990s it was fun this video reminded me of that. Wishbone halloween special and Disney legend of sleepy hallow Today's movies are eough to scared you for life.
HOLY SHIT I FOUND IT
+iBaconJesus SAME. I'VE BEEN HUNTING FOR THIS.
same lol I spent 2 hours looking for this video 😂😂
+iBaconJesus I found it too!!! Really fast!!!
Was thinking of this from an old Darkwing Duck halloween special vhs I used to love watching like 20 years ago. Those trees scarred me for life and the scene where they all gather around before maleficent goes "Boo!" haunts me to this day.
BaconJesus you fucking feel me lol !!!
Whenever I’d go to my grandmothers, I’d watch Disney VHS tapes and this was on one of them. This brings back such nostalgia.
Same thing! I remember watching it on VHS in October at my grandmothers!
Oh wow. Yes!
Me too :( that’s why I came here I miss it
same but had it burned onto a dvd disk
SAME!! ❤ Glad to read several people had cool ass grandmas.
People saying they used to be terrified of this as a kid - it was my favourite song and video on the VHS tape 😂 Been my favourite ever since!
Me too! Miss this era of Disney
Me too!
i used to watch this non stop
I was not terrified either! I’ve never showed this my kids, but I know it didn’t mess me up.
mine too
This terrified me as a child. My mom always tried to calm me down though by pointing out how Donald was there (I loved Donald) and that makes it unscary. Now it just makes me realize Donald was doing some shady shit undercover.
+Lambie Girl this might be the best comment on the internet
I was the same way, i was happy seeing donald, and i was still nervous with the villains, but i was ok because i recognized the characters, but those fucking trees terrified me....they still creep me out 20 years later
Lambie Girl my mom calmed me down by laughing at Donald too! Lol Donald is just the least scary cartoom character ever
@@randomperson8571 Have you ever seen the part of "Mickey and the Beanstalk" when Donald briefly goes insane with hunger and charges at their cow with an axe? That's pretty scary.
Shady shit it may be, but Donald’s willing to do the espionage jobs no one else is willing to do, so long as Mickey properly compensates him.
I swear this video was the start of my lifelong anxiety
same
Same thoooo
Plumface-sama lmaoooo same
Plumface-sama I know but I kept watching it anyway 😂
Plumface-sama same yeah cuz like now I can't even go to bed without thinking to myself "this is what's going on at Disneyland right now as I'm going to sleep"
This era of Disney was top tier.
I used to get scared as a kid. Now, looking back as an adult makes me appreciate this song even more 😊
I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW LAUGHING SO HARD AT ALL THE COMMENTS SAYING THEY WERE SCREWED BY THIS WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE!!! This has been an inside joke in my family for such a long time: My mom used to rent the Disney sing-along videos from the library for us and because she knew the content would be safe, she would let us watch them alone. Then this came on and we all started screaming and crying and none of us were brave enough to go near the TV and turn it off. I'm so happy I found it and that there were so many others who had the same experience. Hope you enjoyed my story 😂
Bronwen Yoncak I pulled a giant tv off a dresser on to me when this was playing.
100th like
OMG my mom also got this from the library! I both loved it and was terrified by it, and now it's my favorite song during this time of year!
Thats not an inside joke tho. Thats just am experience. An inside joke includes a punchline that no one else gets but people who were in on the event that made the punchline a punchline.
I actually loved it as a child. The only two that scared me off the floor was the queen and big bad wolf!
I'm just gonna flat out say I'm one of the millions of kids who got scared by this song back in the day. XD I'm amazed I was able to even watch this at the time.
LittleJerryFan92 i uded to be afriad of this ride. this was from when i was 12 to 21yrs lol. but i just love it now. but i am still afraid of the snow white ride. n i am 33 lol.
I watched this same video as a kid and it scared the shit out of me.
This music video scared me as a kid. Even as adult I hate going on this ride.
LittleJerryFan92 you were not alone. This scared me as a child
I used to think the witch and/or wolf lived in my basement.
This song stood out the most and stayed in my memories since being a child.
So glad I'm not the only one who would watch this particular scene over and over again as a kid!
GRIM GRINNING GHOSTS COME OUT TO SOCIALIZE!
Hahaha! I remember watching this as a kid. I always thought Maleficent had a bunch of guacamole on her face.
Oh my gosh 😂😂
So guacamole is your favorite snack
I'm actually afraid of guacamole so you just made this so much worse for me ba ha ha
Jonah is scared of guacamole ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha that's so ridiculous 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember as soon as the gates opened I would run into another room and hide when I was little. It still freaks me out. The rest of the video was so cheery and this is such a contrast.

The haunted Mansion disneyland 1993.
I had this singalong on VHS
Me too..I had to FF this part though
Hi
same here
I had it as well. I made my mom play this song over and over and over again. ^^
Yep :)
They did a great job with Maleficent's make-up
ineedmydoctor I swear maleficent had a rape face y'all
Loved the grease!
I saw the movie about maleifacent and I saw her storyline
In my opinion I don't believe she is a villain or a bad person
If you piss her off that's when she becomes very mean and scary
But that's my opinion
Thank you that nice to my friends villains
This was my childhood I would watch this on repeat at Halloween time lol
Same. 😂 I had it on a vhs and watched it on repeat all year long. It literally just hit me that this is likely where my love of horror and all things Halloween came from. 😂

I had every sing along of disney but I can't remember them all
I still have the VHS! Good times :)
I still have that tape, how I miss my childhood.
Still have the VHS for 25 years already!! I still watch it on my DVD VCR combo. They have a DVD of it now hon.
Me too! Along with a few other songs- I think I still have it somewhere.
I had to fast forward through this as a kid
+Kayla Bonney We all did as kids.
+AtarashiNOhi Not me. I loved this part. I was a strange child.
PyroGothNerd Some people are into scary things earlier than others.
This was my favorite part on the entire tape as a kid, lol.
what's the name of the tape?? Been wanting to watch it, but I can't remember the name 😦
I don't know why this segment used to freak a lot of people out. I always found it super exciting
Same!
It's the tree people lol
You were those kids into spooky creepy things and liked it 😂😅 that’s me too!! Aha
Out of all the villains.. the trees were the scariest to me, they still give me the creeps!
After reading the comments I don't feel so bad about being scared sh*tless by this when I was younger.
Mick jasin
Me too
I remember thinking "why is Donald in this, he isn't a villain."
Corey Messick Or Cute? I Think It's Cute When He Runs Off After The Trees Part Lol. #thatass 🐥🐥🐥
I bet the only reason for that was because they couldn't make a Pete costume.
Comedic relief so it wasn't too serious or scary for kids.
Candice Williams it's the cutest paaart! Hahah he looks so happy and that duck butt was adorable
Bri Mundorff Because they were strapped for Villain walkaround characters back before the Renaissance’s apex.
If this was made in the late 90’s, they’d definitely have more Villains to work with.
this used to TERRIFY me when i was younger
Same here
Same omg I love the song but I would hide from the evil Queen ( the witch ) I remember I had to use a pillow to hide my face
@@LML2955 i hated the big bad wolf i was always so scared of him tbh he still creeps me out lol
@@avahochella4453 damn I feel your pain

SAME LMAO!!
BRO ME TOO
Me too. Those god damn eyes >_
I can see why, they're still creepy looking to this near 40 year old
This video fucked me up when I was little
Same here! Lmao
+Caroline Perkins lol this video scared the crap outta me
+SecretPie420 right! I use to fast forward the tape if I wasn't feeling brave haha
+Miranda Barden I would just hide underneath my Lisa Frank blanket and peak out if I was feeling brave!
+Caroline Perkins They actually made Hook look scary.
Not going to lie I used to replay this many times as a kid on VHS. Brings back full nostalgia free watching it many years later.
Rest in peace, Thurl Ravenscroft, the haunting's free!
That was the singer’s name! Thank you!
And thank you Thurl Ravenscroft for singing in “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and for Tony the Tiger. “ Theyyyyy’rrrrreeeee Grrrrrreat!”
I used to be scared of the Evil Queen in this video, and hated it when Maleficent went "Boo!" :3

I LOVED THIS AS A KID!!!!!
As a kid, I watched this part of the video until the VHS tape broke. Thank you for bringing back some good childhood memories.
I haven't thought about this in decades, yet all it took was throwing a sheet over me while I was playing with my 1-year-old to bring this all back. Memory is a weird thing, man.
Still scares the hell out of me.
Just take a look at those damned trees! The way they dance!
Dat witch tho! I'm Scared shitless!

Sorry to hear that.
Thurl Ravenscroft sang the song when it first came out. It makes sense for him to sing that song again.
I remember watching this on my vcr as a kid. I had a bunch of Walt Disney World seasonal VHS tapes. I would watch Halloween ones the most...and now im goth as an adult 🤣
This song creeped me out, but I love the arrangements and Maleficent's makeup. Did anyone else think the trees were purple octopi?
Priya Sridhar i thought they were ghosts Bc of the song lyrics
I was always so confused by those trees!
This scared the crap out of me when I was little. I followed my mom around the house for a whole day after watching this.
I thought hell look like this as a kid.
Oh my god, same here. I couldn’t even move without thinking that The Big Bad Wolf, Captain Hook, The Evil Queen, Maleficent, Donald Duck, And Some trees would appear out of nowhere and get me.
I now understand why I am the weird adult I am today. This was my favorite song on the Disney sing alongs! No wonder I love Halloween and spooky stuff so much!!
I had this on tape & would constantly rewind it to watch it over & over.
I guess it was more of a Halloween tone to me when I was 7 cause it never creeped me out.

I remember having this on video with loads of other sing alongs, nostalgic memory
I loved this so much when I was a toddler/young child.
Agreed!
Why is this scarier than most/all horror movies nowadays?
AJX-99 Maleficent. That's why. And the arrangements of music
+Priya Sridhar The scene where she's looking at you at 1:32 terrified me when I was a child; I would remember hiding under the covers when she came up onscreen and was afraid to watch this video because of her. I always called her the "Scary Green Lady", because at the time I was watching this video, I never saw Sleeping Beauty, so I didn't know who she was.
+Priya Sridhar When I was a really little kid it was the trees that creeped me out more than anything else.
Solidus Rex My exact thought as well
They creeped me out too, when I thought they were octupuses.
Oh man. The memories. I used to watch this VHS over and over again as a kid. Of course, this part always scared the crap me. Watching it years later, it still creeps me out.
Same!!
Ok I lovethis song and I love the part where donald dances
Interesting fact is that the woman playing Maleficent and the scream when she appeared is my late Auntie Linda, My dad's sister. As far back as I can remember she was a HUGE disney fan and had alot of disney decor in her house. She always took me and my cousins to Disneyland alot. When I gotten older she told me she use to be a performer cast member, showed me her old ID etc. She showed me old photos of her dressed as Maleficent (which ironically was her favorite villain). She told us that she was going to be in a disney vhs tape about visiting the park and they wanted her as Maleficent. So this is her immortality. Also if you remember the old disney vhs home theatre commercial where you get a glimpse of Esmeralda Dancing is my cousin. So in a way Maleficent is my Auntie and Esmeralda is my cousin!
I remember every time I watched this VHS w/ my little sister and every time we got here she’d run out of the room until it was over😂😂
This scared me more than anything when I was little...I vividly remember happily watching the VHS and then this part coming on and me running through my house to hide in my room before I saw the trees. Or my twin brother putting it on just to freak me out. Fun times. :P
Same here I was so scared wen I was little
Same here ! made me scared of everything
hey was curious what was the VHS called?
Disney Singalong Mainstreet USA I BELIEVE
Maleficent's first appearance in this song scared the crap out of me when I was a youngster. But looking at her now from a 20 year old perspective, I find her to be really attractive. Now I'm trying to find out the name of the woman in that costume is?
Not gonna lie this scared the shit out of me when I watched it
Me too. D:
+rance rumbaugh Same with me! xD I was scared of everything when i was little, i covered my eyes on almost all the DisneyLand rides! xD ( including the Haunted mansion )
THIS HAUNTED MANSION DISNEY WORLD REALLY SCARY AND MY SISTER JUISTINA SHARP JR LOVE A
HALLOWEEN HOUSE
I used to pop this in my VHS player every year around October as a little kid to celebrate the arrival of Halloween. I’ve always loved Halloween season.
It's coming
The way how Maleficent was looking at you up close used to be stuck in my head when I was a kid I was so fearful of looking at it she was my nightmare fuel at the time
I always wondered what Donald was doing there with a ghost costume.
This is horrifying. I'm so glad I'm an adult watching this, this is everything that would freak me out as a kid.
I remember watching this as a kid over and over again on the Disneyland VHS I had. This made me fall in love with the haunted mansion ride and with Halloween.
Yaaaaaaaaay.
What year was this released?
I used to have all these dinner sing along songs VHS cassettes. I’d listen to them for hours. It was so magical as a child.
I remember when this use to scare the literal shit out of me as a kid. But now I look at Donald in disguise and I cant stop giggling 😅
This video used to scare the fuck outta me lol
As a kid, it traumatized me. It wasn't eve the song. It was the costume characters.....Captain Hook, the hag from Snow White, and that damn Wolf......still gives me the creeps.
If anything, that damn wolf scared the hell outta me as a kid. Still find him kinda creepy lol
I loved this song as a kid. But then again, my family is alot like the Addams Family. hahaha
same to me, And you know what I did is hide behind the couch and pray is to stop and hallucination and then be alive.
yes it did me to when i was a kid as well
This was always my favorite song in the Disney sing along songs! I would always rewind the VHS so I could rewatch it.
The Disney Company should’ve also filmed Grim Grinning Ghosts at the other Haunted Mansion in Florida. It can have its characters like the three Hitchhiking Ghosts, Constance the murderous ghostly bride, the Caretaker, the Hatbox Ghost, and Madame Leota. But the Haunted Mansion can also have a vampire, a zombie, a witch, a werewolf, the Grim Reaper, the Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Headless Horseman. It would be a great combination for a Halloween music video at the Haunted Mansion in Disney World. Very scary! 🏚👻⚰️🕸🪦😱
I liked The Haunted Mansion because it has the Ghost Host, Hitchhiking Ghosts, Hatbox Ghost, The Masked Executioner, and the Bride can also have the Lonesome Ghosts from the 1937 film of the same name, and the 4 Skeleton Dancers from the 1929 Silly Symphony short of the same name.
Thurl Ravenscroft had a godlike voice
I watch it now and think "What if Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts sang this in game?"
KingGhidorah5464 Indeed
My point exactly! I was actually gonna ask who was the lead singer in this version of the song, but it's a good thing you jumped in there!
KingGhidorah5464 super angelic 👼👻
Anthony Sbarra He was the lead in the original ride recording too!
I first watched this as a child and I was quite afraid. Surprisingly fast forward 20 some odd years later and it still gave me the creeps.
Those dancing trees used to kind of creep me out as a kid. Now I find them cute.
So everyone got scared of this song as a kid? I swear those trees used to haunt my dreams- and the sound the gate makes would always remind me what song it was and I would hide until they said the "don't try to hide" line and I would just start crying so hard XDDDD
Reading comments, I just got one word to say back at all of them..."Yes.."
I watched this every Halloween as a kid. I miss when all I had to worry about were these scary "villains." Even back then I had my parents to comfort me, now I have a lot more to worry about and I am on my own.
Whoever played malificent in this video was beautiful!
This takes me to a warm place in my heart 😭❤️
Don’t be sad the nostalgia will forever live on
Lol, everybody was freaked out by this and little me thought it was cool.
Same when I was little I literally would just watch the vhs just for this but then again I wasn't afraid of the haunted at age 5 while everyone else is scared of this
Me too.
My brother and I just thought it was cool. Memories!
I loved this segment too. Check out martinsvids for a ridethrough of the phantom manor.
I wasn't either and loved these videos. Wish that disney had put the original sing along videos on dvd.
I have the smallest recollection of seeing this on VCR.
I just put on the haunted mansion and was suddenly struck by this core memory. Shoutout all my fellow singalongers lol. Used to watch these tapes at my aunt’s & grandma’s place
I had paralyzing nightmares for the better part of a decade to the trees in this video. I first saw this in preschool and i started seeing them in my dreams open their eye sockets and have bees pour out or their footsteps would map to my heartbeat that i could hear through my ears, it genuinely fucked me up. ive been looking for so long to find the original and now im here, so hi lol
Childhood relived. I swear, this scared the shit out of me when I was six.
I remember watching this on a VHS as a kid and I would dress up as a ghost and just mimic what Donald Duck did as a ghost in the video. Now a days all I do is play the song for Halloween almost every year. :)
This used to terrify me as a child. I was secretly scared going on this ride as a teenager because of this vhs video. Good times
I remember this like it happened yesterday! We used to watch this sing-along weekly in preschool and I was always intrigued by this part but it scared the daylights out of me! 🥴😂
Disneyland should really have a Haunted Mansion show like this every night where all the Disney Villains especially Maleficent dance in front of the Haunted Mansion to this song. That would be fucking super scary but awesome at the same time. I really think that the Haunted Mansion should be 100 x more scarier (it's only scary in the beginning but gets silly as the ride progresses especially as you get to the end) maybe by having Maleficent and the Wicked Queen as her young self or peddler self greet you at the door way or even them be inside the Haunted Mansion.
The best version of this song.
paperbullet1945 disney paris version is better
paperbullet1945 Dissagree
I like the Disneyland ride version better. The intro is a lot more spooky
I swear its THIS song that shaped the future for the music I grew up loving 😂 this was my favorite part on the sing along movie! Ever since I love horror themed music!
Seeing those trees dance at the beginning always freaked me out when I was a child.
This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid!
Does anyone remember watching this on the Darkwing Duck/ Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Halloween Special VHS tape?
I do! And I own that one @ home.
Petey Dog YES! Oh my God, yes. I used to rent it repeatedly from the video store.
Omg yes
+Petey Dog It's because of that VHS I've tried to find this.
I had the Disneyland fun one I think
I remember seeing this as a child, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was. I don't think I had it on VHS like a lot of other comments are saying. I'm also shocked that three straight Octobers of listening to an electro-swing remix of this song didn't trigger any memories.
I agree! I had all of the disney sing a longs on vhs, so I originally thought this was from one of them. I wanted to watch the whole video, so I tried searching for the Halloween sing a long video, but this music video doesn’t seem to be in the only one I could find (“Happy Haunting”). It has this song, but not this music video in it. So I don’t know where this is from 🤔
Never mind, it is in Sing a Long Songs-Disneyland Fun! It isn’t a Halloween video 😊
I wished they played this in the Disney channel. One of the best VHS I have ever owned.
What was the title of the movie
@christopherwilder9530 its one of the "Disney Sing-Along" VHS'. The entire tape is on RUclips.
1:06 Don't worry trees, that's how I would react if I saw a giant ass duck with one of the most weirdest voices ever.
Christian Romero XD
I had the same reaction when I saw it. You got this trees
This song scared me shitless as a kid. Fucking dancing trees.
they did the same to me as well
same here
Gave me nightmares for life.
Dat witch tho
SAME
Posted 11 years ago and people are commenting recently that’s awesome I watched this all the time on a vhs tape
Same this one was my favorite as a kid
Same this episode used to freak me out and I'd hide under the covers lol
Okay I had the vhs. What was this from I know I used to watch it but I can't remember the name of the show or movie this was from
I remember it was some Disney songs and videos and this was in it
@@chrisbroughton8865 I think it's Disney Sing Along songs happy haunting I lost that vhs...
despite my intense fear of this video as a child, the one thing that kept me sane was the thought that Malificent was really pretty
Literally scarier than any ghost movie I ever watched as a child
Trust me... If Judge Claude Frollo was there it would be much creepier....
ironically enough if you look for the music track Tony Jay (his voice actor) gives the intro. xD

Golden Deerling The Epic's 2nd Channel I’m a little surprised jafar isn’t in this video tbh
Tequilamockingbird
He was. Just on the Disneyland Paris tape. The same song and sequence.
Golden Deerling The Epic's 2nd Channel
Judge Frollo wouldn't dare partake in such witchcaft.
@@thesharpestofthorns___9132 Judge Claude Frollo: That is right
Yes I finally found this after all these years! This video always scared the hell out of me when I was about 3-6 years old and I am now 21. Took me forever to find this. I still can't remember what movie this preview opened for though because I watched a lot of movies on VHS when I was a kid. (Aladdin, Toy Story, Tarzan, bugs life, Bambi, the hunchback of notre Dame, Dinosaur, Monsters Inc., Hercules etc.)
I wonder how the talent playing maleficent in this feels that she has immortalized this role
