@conner623 Well, the Haunted Mansion movie has elements of the ride in it, mainly the 'Lost Love' story and the zombies. However, in the movie, the genders have been reversed, in which the groom loses his bride.

For everyone's interest, the song in the beginning is "The Big Country" and can be bought on itunes.

There really is no absolute on the Phantom's identity, they leave it to your imagination. I came up with the idea that Henry Ravenswood, determined to keep Melanie in Thunder Mesa, invited local clairvoyant Madame Leota to his home before the wedding. He asked for her assistance in stopping the wedding, and she summoned a demon spirit. This spirit saw Melanie and wanted her for his own, so he killed her husband, keeping her trapped in the house forever...but that's just MY take on it =P

That was very neat :) I'm a geek for behind the scenes stories, even though I'm such a scaredy cat and never go on the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland.
