Walt Disney World Secretly Unveils New ‘Haunted Mansion’ Hitchhiking Ghosts!
My day almost began in a fit of rage, but was quickly subdued when I watched the following mind-blowing video, courtesy of Inside the Magic.
This morning Walt Disney World made a pretty substantial upgrade, one that will piss off the purists (that’s me!), but also blow their minds into confusion.
“This morning Walt Disney Imagineering unveiled its most impressive and interactive effect to date, adding playful new versions of the famous Hitchhiking Ghosts in ‘The Haunted Mansion’ who take delight in pranking unsuspecting guests. The classic dark ride has always featured ghosts “who follow you home,” appearing sitting next to guests by way of mirrors in the attraction’s final scenes. The with new technological advances, Disney’s Imagineers have created more lifelike and fun ghosts than ever before seen in the ride.”
Watch the video inside and then tell us your thoughts. Are you OK with the change? Is this impressive new technology worthy of desecrating a holy plot on Disney soil?
The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony has acquired the film and television rights.
Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”
“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro Heads of Film and TV Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”
Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.
Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
You can learn all about the making of the original Clue film in Who Done It: The Clue Documentary, which is now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX!
