A Spooky Night In Disney's Haunted Mansion

PART 3

JADE
Where do we go from here?  How do we get out of this horrible place.

JACKIE CHAN
This seems to be the main corridor.  Let's hope it leads to a back staircase and the way out.

RAPHAEL
That is if we find it.  Who knows where in this manor house we are.

JACKIE CHAN
We're on the 2nd Floor now so let's stay calm, no panic, stay together and keep looking for the secret exit.

NINJARA
Ok, if you say so Chan.
 
But as they begin making their way down the hallway suddenly Ralph spots something wierd down another corridor.
 
RAPHAEL
What on earth?!

JADE
Whoa, check this out.

JACKIE & NINJARA
HUH, WHAT? <Both turn around>
 
They stare down another hallway that appears to strech forever into oblivion, never ending with closed doors on both sides. Chandeliers from above do little to illuminate the darkness but what catches their attention is a hovering or floating candelabrum dancing from side to side in the middle of the hallway.
 
NINJARA

Good grief!  Why is that thing dancing around in midair?

RAPHAEL
Maybe some unseen person is carrying it down the hall.

JADE
Probably a spirit who cannot find his/her way in the dark.

JACKIE CHAN
Oh, that's a good one. <Frowns> C'mon let's keep going. <Turns away>
 
Then suddenly loud noises emit from the corridor and something seems to emerge from the shadows coming straight towards them!
 
JADE
Look out!

NINJARA
Aaaaaaaaugh!

RAPHAEL
Holy s***!

JACKIE CHAN
Quick, in this doorway!
 
They run into an open door just in time and hiding-cowering inside the frame of the doorway they peer back outside.  Through the dimly lit mist of the upstairs corridor a haunted suit of armor ran past the mortals laughing evilly as it swung its sword & shield.  Footsteps, screams, laughter, groans, moans and the sounds of rattling chains chased the figure down the hallway and faded into the darkness.
 
GHOST HOST
It's nice to see folks enjoying themselves...In my home every room has wall to wall creeps...and hot & cold running chills...hmhmhmhmmm...<Giggles>
 
The humans & mutants turned their backs on the corridor and looked into the room towards the sound of their host's voice. The candelabrum Chan held again mysteriously dimmed and went out. They stood frozen with fright! They were in the old conservatory - a room cluttered with decaying flowers and plants. Broken windows in the room allowed them to see the outside and there below was the private family cemetary. Even though the rain was falling hard an un-natural fog choked the gravestones. The rain was coming in through the broken windows the air was dank and had a musty smell. The crow flew in and perched atop a large box situated in the middle of the room.
 
NINJARA <She hears strange noises>
What's that noise?

JACKIE CHAN
I'll light the candles. <Relights candleholder> There.

JADE
Aye-yi-yi!  It's a coffin!

RAPHAEL
Something's trying to get out!
 
A pair of skeletal hands can be seen gripped around the edges of the lid as the unseen victim within tries pushing up on the lid, trying to free himself from the coffin or casket as a frightened pleading voice calls from inside.
 
UNSEEN VICTIM
Let me out of here!  Get me out of here!

CROW
You disturbed a guest, caw-caw!  You'll be sorry for that, caw-caw!
 
Chan, Ninjara, Raphael & Jade ran screaming out of that room and back into the dark hallway.  They passed several closed doors as they continued towards the far end.  From each door they passed natural and un-natural sounds came from within.  Each sounded as though it were trying to escape into the hall...doorknobs twisting, doorknockers clanking, pounding sounds against the doors, crying-pleading voices begging to be let out.  The gang stand paralyzed with terror unable to speak or move as the Ghost Host cautions his visitors to be careful about giving themselves away to the supernatural.
 
GHOST HOST
Whatever you do, don't betray your presence by screaming...Follow my voice, come...You have active imaginations...that's good...
 
They went into another room dimly lit by flickering candles and there an unusual seance was in session.
 
GHOST HOST
We are about to participate in a seance...Madame Leota is assembling all spirits...they are just dying to meet you...hmhmhmahahahahaah...
 
Madame Leota the fortune teller medium was quite unique.  She was truly a disembodied spirit a mere talking head inside a misty crystal ball.  As she envoked the spirits objects floated around the room in response to her commands.
 
MADAME LEOTA <Contacts the Spirit World>
Serpants and spiders, tail of a rat.  Call in the spirits wherever they're at! <Moans, cries fill the air> Rap on a table, it's time to respond.  Send us a message from somewhere beyond. <Slow knocks on tables> Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween.  Awaken the spirits with your tamborine! <Tamborine rattles & shakes> Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond.  Let there be music from regions beyond. <Instruments play a haunting tune> Wizards and witches wherever you dwell.  Give us a hint by ringing a bell! <Bell jingles & jangles>
 
As the friends watch transfixed in awe at the ghostly objects floating about in midair and Leota calling out to the spirits several green shimmering shapes appear out of nowhere, seem to take on human forms.
 
NINJARA
Chan, something's moving there in the corner.

JACKIE CHAN
It looks like smoke.  Here's another one.

RAPHAEL
They sure look real to me, or movie magic special effects.

JADE
Un-cool if you ask me.  I don't like this.

GHOST HOST
Come now, we must leave this cozy little circle...For the spirits have received your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materalize...
