A Spooky Night in Disney's Haunted Mansion
Part 2
Charlie, Sasha, Itchy, Bess, Lance, Carface, Killer, Annabelle
and Belladonna walked down the long tapering corridor. There seemed to
be a light at the far end, pitch blackness behind them. The hallway
made a sharp turn into an errie-lit limbo abound with mist and decay.
The furniture and walls were covered with spiderwebs. A staircase
seemed to be the only passageway out. As they climbed to the 2nd Floor
they were greeted by an appalling cold. This as you know is the
traditional manifistation of the supernatural.
GHOST HOST: I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE AN ADVERSION TO DARKNESS AND
COLD...BUT YOU SEE...WE SPIRITS ARE SENSATIVE TO LIGHT...AND EVERY
CONSIDERATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO OUR COMFORT...HERE IN THIS DELIGHTFULLY
DREARLLY PLACE...
SASHA: Where do we go from here?
BESS: How do we get out of this horrible place?
CHARLIE: This seems to be the main corridor. Let's hope it leads to a
back staircase and a way out.
LANCE: Then it's duty call! (Gives his famous battle-cry)
But as they begin to walk down the hallway, something makes a
wierd noise, coming towards them.
ANNABELLE: Look out!
BELLADONNA: Aaaaaaaaaah! (Screams) A ghost!
KILLER: What do we do?
CARFACE: We're doomed!
CHARLIE: Quick, in this doorway!
One by one the canines rush through an open door just in time.
Through the dimly lit mist of the upstairs corridor a haunted suit of
armor ran laughing past the dogs, swinging its sword and shield.
Footsteps, screams and the sounds of rattling chains chased the figure
down the hallway and faded into the darkness.
GHOST HOST: IT'S NICE TO SEE FOLKS ENJOYING THEMSELVES...IN MY HOME
EVERY ROOM HAS WALL TO WALL CREEPS...AND HOT & COLD RUNNING
CHILLS...(Then he begins giggling) HMHMHMHMHMHMHMMM...
The dogs turned their backs on the corridor and looked into the
room towards the sound of their host's voice. The candles Charlie held
again mysteriously dimmed and went out. They stood frozen with fright!
They were in the old conservatory, a room cluttered with decaying
flowers and plants. Broken windows in the room allowed them to see the
outside and there below was the private cemetary. Even though the rain
was falling hard, an un-natural fog choked the gravestones. The rain
was coming in through the broken windows, the air was dank and had a
musty smell. The crow flew in and perched on top of a large box
situated in the middle of the room.
SASHA: What's that noise?
CHARLIE: I'll light the candles. (He relights candlestick) There.
ITCHY: It's a coffin!
BESS: Something's trying to get out!
LANCE: Maybe it's Dracula, the king of the vampires.
ANNABELLE: No way, not Dracula. I hope he dosen't drink our blood.
BELLADONNA-CARFACE-KILLER: LET US OUT OF HERE!!!
CROW: You disturbed a guest, caw-caw! You'll be sorry for that,
caw-caw! (Then it flies away again)
Charlie, Carface, Killer, Itchy, Sasha, Bess, Lance, Belladonna
and Annabelle ran screaming out of that room back into the dark hallway.
They passed several closed doors as they continued towards the far end.
From each door they passed, natural and un-natural sounds came from
within. Each sounded as though it were trying to get out into the hall.
SASHA: Charlie, I'm so frightened.
BESS: Me too Itchy!
ANNABELLE: I-I...uh, oooooooh...(Horror on her face)
BELLADONNA: Gah-gah-gah-gah-gah...(She too is frightened)
Unfortunately the boy dogs are too paralyzed even to speak or
move. It is then the GHOST HOST returns to cautions his visitors.
GHOST HOST: WHATEVER YOU DO...DON'T BETRAY YOUR PRESENCE BY
SCREAMING...FOLLOW MY VOICE...COME, I SEE YOU HAVE ACTIVE
IMAGINATIONS...THAT'S GOOD...
They went into another room dimly lit by flickering candles.
And there an unusual seance was in session.
GHOST HOST: WE ARE ABOUT TO PARTICIPATE IN A SEANCE...MADAME LEOTA IS
ATTEMPTING ALL CONTACTS...THE SPIRITS ARE JUST DYING TO MEET
YOU...HMHMHMHMHMHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Madame Leota the medium was a disembodied spirit, a talking head
inside a crystal ball. As she envoked the spirits, objects floated
around the room in response to her commands.
MADAME LEOTA: Serpants and spiders, tail of a rat. Call in the spirits
wherever they're at! (Ghostly moans and cries fill the room) Rap on a
table, it's time to respond. Send us a message from somewhere beyond!
(Banging noises echo about) Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween.
Awaken the spirits with your tamborine! (Tamborine rattles & shakes
overhead) Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond. Let there be music
from regions beyond! (Instruments play a haunting melody) Wizards and
witches, wherever you dwell. Give us a hint by ringing a bell! (Bell
jingles in the air above)
BESS: Itchy, something's moving there in the corner.
ITCHY: (Sees it) It looks like smoke.
LANCE: Here's another one.
SASHA: Are those real ghosts, or special effect, movie-magic?
CHARLIE: That's what I like to know.
CARFACE: I don't like this.
KILLER: Me too boss.
ANNABELLE: I think we'd better keep going if we're going to find the
exit out of this mansion.
BELLADONNA: Good idea cousin, for once I agree with you.
GHOST HOST: COME NOW...WE MUST LEAVE THIS COZY LITTLE CIRCLE...FOR THE
SPIRITS HAVE RECEIVED YOUR SYMPATHETIC VIBRATIONS...AND ARE BEGINNING TO
MATERALIZE...THEY'RE ASSEMBLING FOR A SWINGING WAKE AND THEY'LL BE
EXPECTING ME...I'LL SEE YOU ALL A LITTLE LATER...
