This would be cool! I just posted a comment to support about this earlier, funny coincidence! I posted a thread about it a while back, some people liked the idea, some people didn't. I think it would be even more fun than the ski chalet! http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=134027

Fun fact: The Vincent Price narration is also a Haunted Mansion reference, specifically the Disney Paris version known as Phantom Manor where he provided the voice of the original narration as well as the titular Phantom until the French dubbing was added. However, Vincent Price's contribution can still be heard in when the Phantom laughs.|

Fun fact 2: The present singing bust actors had only been meant to record the audio to the song and other actors would be brought in to lip sync, but when imagineers noticed how expressive the group was as they sang, they asked them to do the facial animations too. Among the singers was Thurl Ravenscroft who plays the role of the lead and "Uncle Theodore", he was also the original voice of Tony the Tiger and provided as the singer ofr "you're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"

And I always enjoy pointing out "Tony the Tiger" to my friends. In fact, one of my friends got me online. A long time ago, when I would roll my eyes at all this "email" and "instant chat" nonsense, he pointed out that you can learn stuff about Disneyland on the internet. My eyes went wide. He showed me this one evening, and I spent the rest of that night and most of the next morning on his computer reading all the information I could. I was like Neo in "The Matrix" with my friends computer. Anyway, that was just the start. My favorite thing I found that night? The recipe to The Blue Bayou's Monte Cristo.

There's quite a bit of buzz over this so I thought I'd lend my insight on the matter up coming "facts"* about the upcoming Haunted Mansion Halloween trial.
- Ghost Widow will guide us as our host. Our "Ghost Host"
- Voice overs will return for just this once with the special guest star Vincent Price.
- Sanity effects will be added into the game to psyche players out. Known sanity effects include...
1. Hearing whispers everywhere
2. finding yourself suddenly alone, in the dark, and being attacked by invisible enemies.
3. your enhancement screen popping up and all your IO sets getting deleted.
4. Your characters head popping off and becoming a glowie, clicking it will result in text quoting Hamlet. (But not the scene you'd think)
5. Your entire team walking into a room to find them all dead in horrifically brutal ways that violate the "t for Teen" rating
6. On a related note: Sister Psyche stuffed in a fridge.
- There will be puzzles in the form of locks that make no mechanical sense at all.
- One room will be an obligatory reference to M.C. Escher's Relativity.
- If you look closely, you'll notice a certain well dressed, tall, dark, and slender gentleman watching you from the trees outside the forest.
- Is this haunted room actually stretching?
- This chamber has no windows and no doors!
*Void in every state and country of the world and any land mass in general
okay, I'm done.
