Description Oh, I didn't mean to frighten you prematurely...

Halloween is nearing, and I was paying far too much attention as I listened to the soundtrack of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. This picture is of 'your Ghost Host' on his 'way out.' I talked to Schoen and my mom, and we agreed that there are two schools of thought: either the Ghost Host killed himself to get himself out (my favorite version,) or in order to let you out, the Ghost Host can kill you (probably the intended version, but like I'd pay attention to that.) I'm still bothering to think why the Ghost Host would have killed himself, as his voice sounds so confident, but there could be a million reasons, and I'm sure I'll find a good one eventually.

As can be seen, his coat is dark green, as anyone who's been to Disneyland would know. I think that the men who guard that ride wear their coats open with black waistcoats, but in order to explain my way out of this, the Ghost Host was obviously not you average Joe, and would wear something different than everyone else (he'd be like a butler or a maitre d' ).

I am insanely proud of myself for this. Not only did I draw something worthy of being in the 'macabre and horror' category, but I wrote something in snazzy legible writing and I colored in what I consider to be an amazing way. I think I'm going to color like this every time now, as it works really well. Scans better, too, I've noticed. I may tweak it a bit, but I really like coloring like this.

My signature is in there, but it ended up in the middle of his shadow, so it's a little hard to see.

The Ghost Host, the text, and the Huanted Mansion belong to Disney and Disneyland, but as they never showed what he looked like at all, I think I'm pretty safe drawing this and calling it mine. XD

I agree with your first theory. I've read some of the lore the imagineer's had for the haunted mansion, I don't agree with all of it, but his name is supposed to be Edward Gracy (Just like the Haunted Mansion movie) and he is the master of the mansion.

I like to think about the Haunted Mansion, but I don't agree with all I hear, either. Did you know that they're going to be making a new Haunted Mansion movie? I hope it will be good! ^______^

Actually I read from a site that all the characters in the ride had a story!

I can't find where I first read it but Wikipedia says:
"Master Gracey, often believed to be the Ghost Host himself, is a central character in many different stories of the Mansion. A common story is that he is George Gracey Jr. who married two wives, Lillian O'Malley (the tightwalker from the stretching portrait) and his cousin Emily Cavanaugh (the bride), but both were killed by a jealous Madame Leota. Leota planned to seal Gracey in her crystal ball, but he hanged himself instead."


"A common story is that Leota was a gypsy from Louisiana who killed Gracey's wives. She tried to kill Gracey but sealed herself in her own crystal ball. And she and her daughter Little Leota murdered most people in the mansion."

Oh wait I think I found the site! [link]

Interesting... Very interesting... I'll look at the site later and decide whether I want to listen to their answer or make up my own, though. Thanks!

Hehe, that's cool. Just thought you'd like to know that there was a story behind it. Hey, you don't even have to read it! Just go along with your own stuff.

Well, I like to think of things myself, but I will go by storyline when there is one. The one you mentioned doesn't seem to be endorsed by Disney, though, so I don't have to change my mind just yet.

Too bad the "of" is kind of hiding, but whatever. D:

It looks AWESOME colored. :3 I like the kind of dirty white of the gloves and coat. <33

Yeah, it got stuck in the black. Oh well.

Thanks! ^___________^ I really like the way it turned out.
