I saw this as a kid, and then couldn't find any reference to this anywhere despite years of searching and I legitimately thought I had hallucinated the whole thing until I saw a video about how Disney's tower of terror works, and then came here to find out what the tower of terror actually was.
Finally, an explanation for why swing music dredges up nightmares of people dying in an elevator. I could not watch Nabisco Oreo commercials without flashbacks to this. Thought it must have been a fever dream.
Oh my gosh, this has been me right up until now!! Every now and then, throughout the years, I would try and search for it, with no luck. Can't believe I've finally found it! I really was beginning to think I may have dreamt it. So funny, I vaguely remembering how much I liked this movie as a kid, because I used to watch it so many times. Clearly not enough because the movie title still doesn't ring a bell lol!
A terrific way to start off a movie. A good explanation of why lightning struck the tower, A good way to set up each character and a good song building up suspense once we see the green lightning appear.
Yeah, that was a little hard to believe, especially given the era it was set in when kids were supposed to be more innocent. I saw the movie when it came on air for the first time and remember thinking that was really extreme for a Disney movie at the time. It seemed odd that a Disney movie would have such an evil kid in it. Kids in Disney movies were usually all sweetness and light, seemed much more Twilight Zone.
There were a lot of small plot holes in the movie, all which stem from the fact that it’s not tied to the Twilight Zone. Would’ve fixed maybe 75% of them
Bunny Bustard yea and it turns out her sister was throwing her a birthday party like congratulations u kill ur sister when she’s trying to make u happy like wow lol
I learned to swing dance because of this movie. My grandma and grandpa used to swing dance with me in our living room during the party scene. This is by far, one of my absolute favorite movies.
Fun Fact: The hotel's interior was not film from the actual attraction, it actually was just a soundstage made to replicate it. The outside scenes of the hotel was from the actual attraction.
Not all of it. There are some areas with sprawling courtyards and pools, and other scenery peices. But the interior was indeed a soundstage as they wouldn't close the attraction to film the movie or modify it or just shoot it with actual people queuing for the ride.
They got a fair amount of the lobby right, but the light fixtures/sconces that hang from the wall are nothing like the ones in any of the Hollywood Tower Hotels
Too bad disney’s Hollywood studios isn’t a working movie studio anymore. Nowadays its all about money and low quality intellectual property based attractions They should reopen the movie studio aspect
@@SHOSHANNAHJACOBSOFFICIAL ....no it wasnt. It was based on ideas imagineers came up with for a ride based on The Twilight Zone. It in no way was inspired by "real events"
Hollywood, 1939 Amid the glitz and glimmer of every Movie talent at the height of its Golden Age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right. A beacon for the Show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that.
Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling, young movie town at the height of its golden age, The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right; a beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that.
I honestly like the expressions of the characters after the elevator got stuck. They thought it was just a technical problem and they'd get to the party, just later than expected.
I would have been 6 if I would have watched it when it first came to TV and I'd imagine I would have been crying and shaking!!! Probably would have been afraid of elevators too. I watched this when I was 13 and even then I thought it was scary. Now, at 26 I wouldn't think it was too bad.
Musab Jibril Same man, I saw when I was 7 in after school class, and I left the room and i cried because of that scene where the ghost little girl is skipping down the hallways singing some creepy lullaby "la la la" ....shivers
I still love this scene. The music and happy couples dancing obliviously to the evil storm brewing outside just works for me. It sets up all the ghost characters and Abby well; watching the scene knowing what really happened--that Abigail cast the spell--makes it so much more interesting. But I love how the initial impressions we get of the ghost characters in the opening scene gets slowly deconstructed throughout the movie. Sally first strikes us as shallow, vain, and an attention seeker, but we find out the entire party was a birthday surprise for her sister, who she loved more than anyone, that after 60 years Sally still had the gift she was going to give, and she forgives Abigail at the end, even though Abby is the one who killed her. Ms. Partridge looks like an old grump who won't let Sally have fun and keeps a tight rein, and it looks like she's set up to be the bad guy--when Abigail lies to Buzzy and Anna that it was Ms. Partridge who cast the spell, we believe her because we've already seen how unhappy and disapproving Ms. Partridge seemed, but then we find out just how much Ms. Partridge really loves Sally. Dewey just looks like a hapless, worrisome klutz, but we find out he has heart and courage, and can do his job. We can see Carolyn being cute and flirty with Gilbert, and maybe she just looks like a starlet with a crush, but then we see her caring side toward the others later, and how she's willing to give Buzzy, Anna, and Q a chance. Gilbert looks just annoyed and stiff in the beginning, but then we realize at the end he was planning to propose that night--and we realize he was actually just nervous as all get out. This is not a perfect movie by any means, and it's obviously got a tiny budget, but I think it's one of those films that, despite its restraints and flaws, is surprisingly good. Like, for all its problems, this is a genuinely fun movie that's better than people might think just glancing at its cover.
I totally agree. This is a good movie. It focuses more on the story, and the characters and their interaction with each other rather then songs or special effects like most contemporary movies seem to do.
Yeah, it does have problems, like why the ghosts would try to drive people away when they need people to break the curse and fix the elevator. Or why the people in the party have ghosts (i.e. Dewey's dad is there, and shares a moment with his great-grandson). Or why Buzzy flip-flops between believing in ghosts and regarding the whole thing as bogus. But as I always say, you can't claim to love something unless you know EVERYTHING that's wrong with it.
Glad this isn't a real Hotel because after watching this movie I probably would never stay in it. I know it's not real but after seeing this my mind would have made it seem real. I do wonder though how she knew Sally was going to be in the elevator at that specific time
Man did they do a good job on this!! A fantastic expansion on the que line video and the music plus the dancers REALLY heightened the tension! This is a gem of an introduction to a children’s movie.
Actually, I heard that Tower of Terror was a "lost episode" of The Twilight Zone and it never aired, not sure if it was ever fully shot. Then, the ride came which spawned this movie, which doesn't have anything to do with The Twilight Zone since it wasn't on TV anymore and this was a Disney film.
Oh, I see. I haven't seen the movie in a really long time and it was before I even saw the Twilight Zone which would be why I wouldn't have been able to pick up on it.
Personally, I don't think Sally Shine deserved her fate. Judging by the movie, she seems like a kind girl who is quick to forgive and won't hold a grudge. Seeing as though her love for Abigail broke the curse. I can't say that Sally had any control over what happened to her or the other passengers in that elevator. *SPOILER* DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. Abigail put the curse on Sally. However, instead of sending Sally alone to the underworld, it sent all of them half way, leaving them all trapped in the Hollywood Tower Hotel forever (That is, until Buzzy and Anna stepped into the picture). Sally is merely a child with talent, and Abigail, unfortunately, did not receive those talents. As nobody knows that she exists, other than Sally or her parents. I can understand that Abigail is sad that nobody remembered her own birthday, however, she did not realize that the party in the Tip-Top Club was for her. So yeah, this is enough to prove my thesis.
Of course she didn't. That's the whole point of the story. This movie is basically "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" with a happy ending… in which everyone's dead. XD
The fact they just changed the hotel designed where you can see no exposed elevator door, replaced with glass. In the og ride, the pre show shows that there once a building on that part before lightning strikes that part of building and disappear
Fun fact: Due to the twilight zone being owned by paramount disney couldn't reference the show anywhere in the movie hensceforth why the movies plot is different from the ride
Picture, of you will, a movie based on a Disney ride, besides the first 2 pirates movies, that doesn't suck. Impossible you say? Not, in The Twilight zone.
@@candycane1744 no. Your the right person. He said imagine a disney ride movie besides the first 2 pirates that didnt suck. You said "dont forget haunted mansion" Which sucked
I know Emeline was actually a good guy, but why did she looked so pissed off when Sally smiled at her in the elevator? Didn’t she say she loved the girl as if she was her own child?
Some people are just constantly stern or in a curmudgeonly state. They're still good people, just very dour. Of course the real answer is that it's misdirection and the movie needs to make you think she's the villain.
Probably doesn't approve of Sally encouraging the paparazzi. Child stardom often leads to a massive ego and problems down the line if not well parented. Just look at Edward Furlong.
The weird part of this is thag if you watch the ride preshow, there are two towers on the front of the hotel that dissappear when the lightning struck it. Probably a missed detail from disney.
Kinda wonder why they didn't use the same dematerialization effect they used for the ride film, where the lightning courses through everyone's bodies before they blink out of existance.
I tried the real elevator in disney land when I was 12 and it was a terrifying and joyful experience at the same time, I just found out that there's a movie about it
This is my favorite movie and ride I know The five peoples names Sally Shine, Dewey,Gilbert, Caroline crossing I miss partridge. One stormy night five people stepped foot into a elevator....and fell into a nightmare, That door is Open once again this time the door open for you 👌
That is an amazing ride in Hollywood studios I've been on it it's called the twighlight zone and you get on the elevator you sit down and it shows you a little then it drops out of nowhere then it takes you all the way up to were the signs at and drops again
3:30 How'd they obtain that elevator crank? That crank looks like a real OTIS crank, and I know that they don't make manually operated elevators anymore, so I don't get how they got the crank.
Before this movie, people used to worry about what they might run into in the hotel stairwells - rapists, muggers, homeless people. Now it's the elevators. How can you win?
Probably all they could do was shout and hope someone could hear them, I don't think a elevator would have had a phone in it, as I don't think telephones existed back then 👍
@@bikerguychris33 I'm sure they did, tho I wonder either if Dewey, in his panic after the elevator got stuck, forgot about the phone, or the elevator didn't have one.
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone." ~ Rod Serling
The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Halloween night, 1939. Five people disappeared mysteriously from the elevator, including Sally Shine, child movie star. Tell me something I don't know.
des silguero you can also buy the DVD in the Tower of Terror gift shop in Florida and California but the California's Tower has since been closed. that's where I got mine in November (2016) just before it closed for good (in 2017) to make way for Guardians of the Galaxy which is opening in a couple months :'(
Did they actually fall to their deaths? It looks like the lightning struck and evaporated them.. then maybe the elevator dropped.. would have been more tragic to see them fall then evaporate.
The elevator was meant to crash. But the spell backfired so they were zapped by the lightening and their souls became trapped in the hotel. The elevators crash at the end of the movie just as Abigail originally intended.
I saw this as a kid, and then couldn't find any reference to this anywhere despite years of searching and I legitimately thought I had hallucinated the whole thing until I saw a video about how Disney's tower of terror works, and then came here to find out what the tower of terror actually was.
exactly the same here.. finally found it
Same! Thought i may have dreamt it!
Finally, an explanation for why swing music dredges up nightmares of people dying in an elevator. I could not watch Nabisco Oreo commercials without flashbacks to this. Thought it must have been a fever dream.

They were selling dad's of the movie at the ride when I wad there last
A terrific way to start off a movie. A good explanation of why lightning struck the tower, A good way to set up each character and a good song building up suspense once we see the green lightning appear.
Abby didn’t cast the spell on the elevator. Dewey Todd actually did! Plot twist!

@@nicolea2839He did? how
Can we talk about the fact that a nine year old was practicing serious black magic just because her sister was in moving pictures?
Yeah, that was a little hard to believe, especially given the era it was set in when kids were supposed to be more innocent. I saw the movie when it came on air for the first time and remember thinking that was really extreme for a Disney movie at the time.

it's cool that they made a movie to explain the backstory of a ride

Yes but the story itself based of true and real events
Yep, back when disney knew what it was doing

It was based on ideas imagineers came up with for a ride based on The Twilight Zone.

@@serenatwilite4005 wrong actually. The movie was filmed in and around the ride after the ride had already launched.

A beacon for the Show business elite.
Now, something is about to happen that will change all that.

SweetStar1908 Ok well... umm... Take the elevator down 30 floors... then take the stairs??? IDK XD
I would just suck it up and take the damn elevator

I'm talking about I am already a ghost bellhop
so every people know, the song they are playing is called '' Sing, Sing,Sing'' by Benny Goodman.
Bender Rodriguez YAY we Play it in band 😃
Awesome song , should be called swing , swing ., swing
Sing sing sing by Benny Goodman know it
Liar liar pants on fire.
It’s a classic

me too help
I knew this movie wasn't a fever dream of my childhood. im so happy to be reunited with it :')

One of my favorite movies! I don’t understand why this isn’t on Disney Plus.
Looking back, for a TV movie, this was done really well. I hope the new theatrical movie can live up to it.

The ride is so fun at Disney California Adventure and Disney Hollywood Studios!! Love the Hollywood Tower Hotel
just like the ride at those Disney park
The best intro ever

I wonder if the 5th dimension is real after watching this xD
Why is this movie not on any list of Disney movies in general? There is also not much information about her on the internet, does anyone know why?🤔
Lindsay Ridgeway who portrayed Sally Shine was the only one from this movie to portray a character in the tower of terror pre ride show.
I'v been in the ride she looks different
@@giuseppinalombardo3600 She was also a few years younger
Anyone notice the elevator operator is the cult leader “Issac” from Children Of The Corn?
Same actor, his name being John Franklin.
Who else is watching this in the tower of terror line at Disney
I was on the ride it’s completely dark and if u are scared of small spaces dark and falling don’t go on it but if not you will scream but really fun
Honestly though I think this movie is the reason I have such a fascination with ghosts.
Just rode the ride and I am forever scarred
I tried the real elevator in disney land when I was 12 and it was a terrifying and joyful experience at the same time, I just found out that there's a movie about it

Your Carolyn Crosson spelling is wrong
I like that Jazz or swing music it makes me happy :>
That is an amazing ride in Hollywood studios I've been on it it's called the twighlight zone and you get on the elevator you sit down and it shows you a little then it drops out of nowhere then it takes you all the way up to were the signs at and drops again
Genialer Film, ich hab ihn als Kind geliebt. 👍

It is the middle ground between light and shadow,
between science and superstition,
and it lies between the pit of man's fears,
and the summit of his knowledge.
This is the dimension of imagination.
It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone."
~ Rod Serling
Wish Disney would play this

That's my grandpa 💪😎
The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Halloween night, 1939. Five people disappeared mysteriously from the elevator, including Sally Shine, child movie star. Tell me something I don't know.
jcandj9 how to not be a nerd
Actually a quote from the movie! One of my favorites, anyway
The only thing different about this scene from the original ride pre-show was that the elevator never plummeted downwards in 1939 in the film.
I was 7 when I went on this ride. I had so many nightmares
I remember being so scared watching this as a kid.
Love the bellhop
Same! I LOVE bellhops
at walt disney world , the observatory box thing jas fallen letters, they say " take the stairs "
where can I watch the whole movie!!!
des silguero here on youtube
I've searched for it but can't find it, just bits and pieces
des silguero you can also buy the DVD in the Tower of Terror gift shop in Florida and California but the California's Tower has since been closed. that's where I got mine in November (2016) just before it closed for good (in 2017)
to make way for Guardians of the Galaxy which is opening in a couple months :'(
Thanks guys! I watched the whole thing for free on RUclips wasn't the greatest quality but still watched it lol
Des Silguero try to see if its on eBay
It’s funny I love the twilight zone I love all that spooky shit I always have but this movie still scares the bejeezus out of me
Oh hey it’s Cory Matthew’s sister Morgan! lol
This scared the hell out of me when I first watched this as a kid
Valuable lesson TAKE THE STAIRS
Did they actually fall to their deaths? It looks like the lightning struck and evaporated them.. then maybe the elevator dropped.. would have been more tragic to see them fall then evaporate.
Orlando Marvin i think they have been killed by the lightning
After the lightning struck the elevator they got sent to the 5th demention. Their spirits still remain in the hotel.
The elevator was meant to crash. But the spell backfired so they were zapped by the lightening and their souls became trapped in the hotel. The elevators crash at the end of the movie just as Abigail originally intended.
Advice:
Take the stairs. Not only will it give you exercise, it will also save you from......this
if you ride tower of terror at disney world this clip will play in the preshow inside the library
Funny how the movie is about ghosts and on the actual ride there is a ghost. And I’m not kidding.
