Tokyo Disneyland's Haunted Mansion themed Hallowe'en parade

Kirby sez,

Ricky at Inside the Magic has a video of Disney's Haunted Halloween Parade at Tokyo Disneyland.
All of the floats have Haunted Mansion themes - even obscure stuff like the Rolly Crump designed overstuffed easy chair with the face worked into the design. Another float has the Ballroom's Organ as the major design element. The Knight from just outside the endless hallway is represented by 4 cast members. The bride is a chipmunk character. Another float has a giant representation of the skeletal arm with a trowel bricking himself into his own tomb.
A phalanx of Haunted Mansion maids leads the parade. Ghosts from the Mickey Mouse cartoon "Lonesome Ghosts" pepper the entire parade.
The song that accompanies the parade is called "One More Ghost" in reference to the need to find that 1000th ghost that the Mansion needs.
The show stop at the end of the parade features the Japanese Ghost Host voice with various riffs off of the Grim Grinning Ghosts theme.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The original Disneyland used the California Adventures park for their Halloween fun. It was pretty fun – and we were able to get loads of candy!

I just came back from WDW’s “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party” and their parade is pretty great. (Pictures here.)

I was very, very impressed by the Haunted Mansion section especially. The groundskeeper from the graveyard scene (complete with a real live dog parading down Main Street was my favorite – unfortunately my best picture of them didn’t come out so great.)

I’d much rather see a parade based on the procession from Ghibli’s Pom Poko.

I don’t know. This looks pretty cool. “Obsessively stylish” is always good.

Disney World’s ‘Boo To You’ parade is better IMHO.
