The ghost that even other ghosts fear.
Of all the 999 happy haunts in Disney's Haunted Mansion, by far one of the most notorious is the dreaded Hatbox Ghost. As illustrated in the legendary amusement park attraction, most of the Mansion's residents are spooky yet harmless. With the exception of the homicidal bride, most of the ghosts present really are happy haunts, like the prophetic Madame Leota, the musical stone head quintet, and the hitchhiking specters looking for a ride.
The Hatbox Ghost Was a Technical Nightmare for Disneyland's 'Haunted Mansion' Ride The Haunted Mansion attraction opened its doors for the first time on August 9th, 1969 in Disneyland California, almost 15 years after the park opened in 1955. While the ride would open three months after the passing of company CEO Walt Disney, ideas for the ride began and evolved long before the park even opened.
Eh, nothing that exciting we're sorry to say. The truth is the special effects intended to bring the Hatbox Ghost to the afterlife just did not work as intended. The character's initial intent was to have the ghost's head alternate from his body into the hatbox they carried, hence the name. It's an ambitious effect to pull off, especially for the 1960s, but within the months of the attraction's opening, it was clear that the effect wasn't working.
The character appeared in a cameo capacity in the occasional cartoon series, such as briefly appearing in the animated variety show House of Mouse. Several comics have also been made about Disney attractions over the years, occasionally trying to flesh out the world and backstory of the rides and characters, and Hatbox would also appear as a major character in the Marvel-run Disney Kingdoms comics.
