Disneyland developed a nighttime spectacular in 1987 that featured 999 ghosts and skeletons from the Haunted Mansion that took over Tom Sawyer Island to entertain crowds along the Rivers of America five years before “Fantasmic”.
Disneyland consultant Don Dorsey discussed the history of the shelved Haunted Mansion-themed nighttime spectacular during the Magic After Dark panel at the D23 fan event at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Concept art developed for the Haunted Mansion-themed nighttime spectacular shows ghosts pouring out of the classic dark ride and flowing over the Rivers of America onto Tom Sawyer Island in a spectral rainbow.
In a spooky castle scene, headless knights hoisted a coffin into the air as ghost brides lingered amid scattered skeletons.
Pirates fought with swords in the masts of a ghostly version of the Sailing Ship Columbia as fireworks exploded near the stern in another scene developed for the nighttime spectacular.
The finale featured the Chernabog villain from “Fantasia” looming overhead as flames engulfed the waters below.
“Everybody thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be amazing,’” Dorsey said during the D23 panel presentation. “Then it got shelved for a period of time for Disneyland’s 35th.”
After the 35th anniversary celebration in 1990, attention turned to another nighttime spectacular involving water and fireworks that ultimately ended up occupying the same spot on Disneyland’s Rivers of America.
“Fantasmic” debuted in 1992

Dear father…
—
“Dear, sweet Constance. Poor child! Poor, poor child. Did you know that her mother supposedly killed her father in a fit of rage? Found an axe and took his head off in a single swipe. It’s supposedly still in the house somewhere, just bones and a wandering spirit. Mon dieu! How tragic. How horrible!”
—
I like to think Constance taking the heads of her husbands is a learned habit. It was, after all, what mother did to father when he threatened to leave them.
‘When a man threatens to turn tail, or has eyes for a younger broad, take his head so he’s yours forever. Don’t let that dog run, Constance. Best to put him down swiftly.”
At least…that’s what Dame Peatcleaver used to tell her young daughter when she allowed her to hold father’s beheaded skull, a hatchet still in his head.
