The singers harmonizing in the Graveyard at The Mansion with Thurl are: Bob Ebright, Jay Meyer, Verne Rowe, and Chuck Schroeder. These are Four frames from the film, when the film broke, it would be replaced. I have heard talk that these are all digital pictures now, which makes this a great addition to any Haunted Mansion Buff´s collection. I was told this film was from a Ride Technician who had worked in the Liberty Square area of the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. I am not positive, but I believe this film was part of a reel on a backstage shelf that never was put into use. When the Haunted Mansion was rehabbed around 1993 and the films were replaced by digital images and video. Remaining reels were removed and disbursed. The clip/strip is approximately 1 1/8" in length. The scanner has a difficult time with transparencies. Each scan utilized a different light setting. I once heard a couple of stories from an old Disney Manager that part of the original plans at the Mansion were that as you leaned backwards to descend to the graveyard that there was to have been a holographic type figure shoveling dirt as if to be burying the occupants of the Doom Buggy in the Cemetery Alive ! True. And that on opening day at the Tokyo, Japan Haunted Mansion the custodial crews were attempting to make the entire park spotless, well yes, they even vacuumed the spider webs out of the Mansion! True. As the ONLY Legible Book Title reads in the Library at the Mansion, The Art of Deception. This plays out, throughout the attraction.
