Description
Ok... so I wanted to a tribute to the Disney attraction "The Haunted Mansion" for some time now... I always wanted to draw the hitchhiking ghosts, but I decided to trade 'em up for a ghost that never really made it into the attaction... The Hat box Ghost!In the Attic scene, just before the doombuggy crashes out the window, there was supposed to be a scene involving this ghost and the bride, The gag was supposed to be that his head disappears from his body and reappears inside the hat box. Unfortunately, the effect fell flat and the imagineers couldn't get it to work, so the character was dropped from the scene. Today, with new technologies, Disney is working to put 'ol Hattey back in the attic along side his bride! I guess he's also supposed to be featured in the new "Haunted Mansion" film due out in the next few years.
Cool beans... so hats off to you!

Oh, I finally got the confusion ! "Shipping" is slang for "imagining 2 characters as a couple" ! ^^'

Oh, no, thank you, I don't want to buy anything, thank you still^^ I was just asking if you like this ship, because if you accepted (I didn't look yet if you did so) to put the pic in my group, I will have to put it in a particular folder.

Je crois que je comprends; "ship" veut aussi dire "expΓ©dier (par bateau)", donc KileyBeecher croyait que tu demandais si elle envoyait par bateau ses dessins.

I sure hope I get to see this ghost in person someday at the Mansion that's easily my favorite ride at Disney World.
Excellent job! I love how you drew his eyes. Very creepy.

I'm looking forward to that movie, anything has to be better than that Eddie Murphy diaster.

Aye! I completely agree with that. What was so interesting was that during the same year, Disney struck gold with the Pirates series. How can something have gone so right, and yet another went so wrong?!

I'm sorry to say but I think it's Eddie Murphy. The guy is box office poison. He hasn't had a hit since the origenal Doctor Dolittle.
His film "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" was so bad that it lasted one week before it was pulled from theaters and it has never been offered on DVD. In fact an accociat producer of that film committed suicide!

Brilliant artwork of both of them! I wonder if after the movie they'll add the Hatbox Ghost back to the ride? Hmm.

Thanks! Appreciate the kudos! Yeah, good question... I hope they do. I guess he does already make an appearance in the interactive que in the most recent updates at the attraction... other than that let's hope we see him in the flesh elsewhere (or rather, we'll see him in the 'ectoplasm' elsewhere!)

He does? o_O I didn't know that. XD Then again I only know of some of the newly added stuff; and its been many years since I went on the ride unfortantly (WDW version).

he'll fit right in with Constance, that's for sure

Yup, it's cool stuff!

He could represent one of the grooms that she killed, as he has his head stuffed into the hatbox that he holds in his hand.

I guess

after all, the effect to make his head vanish has been perfected.

You know, I've heard of that rumer, that they're going to try to put The Hat Box Ghost in the ride. It would be cool to see him in the ride. Hopefully with technology today they can do it and make it seem more real or something.

Ya, I think the technology today should be able to pull it off. Look at all the other crazy-coolness imagineers are already doing with projection and 3D... I wouldn't think that this should be to difficult to do!

I agree, technology has had a chance to grow over 50 years. I don't think today they would have so much trouble doing it.

his face.
I cannot get over his face.
I just want to stare at it and have it suck out my soul.
But yeah, this is one of the better fanart pieces I've seen with Hatty. Kudos! <3
