Different variations use 4/4 or 3/4 for the <a href="/wiki/Metre_(music)" title="Metre (music)">meter</a>. The following <a href="/wiki/Chord_progression" title="Chord progression">chord progression</a> is used for all versions: Am, B, Am, B<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-flat">♭</span></span>, Am, F, Am, F7, Am, E7, Am. Typically, each chord lasts for two beats of 4/4 or three beats of 3/4. This underlying chord progression provides a macabre mood for the Haunted Mansion attractions. The song modulates to B-flat minor thus: Am, E7, F7, B<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-flat">♭</span></span>m and on to B-minor via B<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-flat">♭</span></span>m, F7 and F<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>7. The melody then modulates back to A-minor after repeating a dissonant chord six times. When recording the song, the organist actually played the song backwards to achieve the discord that the composer intended. The organ part that can be heard in the song is that tune played forwards. </p><p>The title comes from <a href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">William Shakespeare</a>'s poem <i><a href="/wiki/Venus_and_Adonis_(Shakespeare_poem)" title="Venus and Adonis (Shakespeare poem)">Venus and Adonis</a></i>: </p> <dl><dd><i>Look, how the world's poor people are amaz'd</i></dd> <dd><i>At apparitions, signs, and prodigies,</i></dd> <dd><i>Whereon with fearful eyes they long have gaz'd,</i></dd> <dd><i>Infusing them with dreadful prophecies;</i> <dl><dd><i>So she at these sad sighs draws up her breath,</i></dd> <dd><i>And, sighing it again, exclaims on Death.</i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd>'<i>Hard-favour'd tyrant, ugly, meagre, lean,</i></dd> <dd><i>Hateful divorce of love,'—thus chides she Death,—</i></dd> <dd>'<i><b>Grim-grinning ghost</b>, earth's worm, what dost thou mean</i></dd> <dd><i>To stifle beauty and to steal his breath,</i> <dl><dd><i>Who when he liv'd, his breath and beauty set</i></dd> <dd><i>Gloss on the rose, smell to the violet?</i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variations">Variations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grim_Grinning_Ghosts&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Variations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Haunted_Mansion">Haunted Mansion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grim_Grinning_Ghosts&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Haunted Mansion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Many different music loops are used throughout the Haunted Mansion attractions at <a href="/wiki/Disneyland" title="Disneyland">Disneyland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_World" title="Walt Disney World">Walt Disney World</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_Disneyland" title="Tokyo Disneyland">Tokyo Disneyland</a>. Speakers disguised within the sets allow the music to fade in and out as guests pass through the different areas. The following variations of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" can be heard in these attractions. </p> <ul><li>Foyer: As guests enter the dimly-lit foyer, a distant organ can be heard. "Grim Grinning Ghosts," played in the slow cadence of a funeral dirge, rumbles through the mansion. This simple arrangement is intended to set the spooky tone for the attraction. It features melody and bass line on a <a href="/wiki/Robert_Morton_Organ_Company" title="Robert Morton Organ Company">Robert Morton</a> <a href="/wiki/Theater_organ" class="mw-redirect" title="Theater organ">theater organ</a> and an almost inaudible <a href="/wiki/Countermelody" class="mw-redirect" title="Countermelody">countermelody</a> on <a href="/wiki/Tubular_bell" class="mw-redirect" title="Tubular bell">tubular bells</a>.</li> <li>Load Area: Guests leave the "Stretch Room" and proceed down either a hall of changing portraits (Disneyland), or into the Entrance Hall (Walt Disney World). One of the ride's most unconventional musical selections plays in the background. An <a href="/wiki/Alto_flute" title="Alto flute">alto flute</a> plays a low rendition of Baker's composition, with tubular bells doubling the melody. There is also a wind-like sound effect that follows the pitches of the song.</li> <li>Music Room/Grand Staircase: In the Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland versions, guests pass by a decrepit music parlor. A shadowy phantom sits at the piano, playing "Grim Grinning Ghosts" as block chords with heavy <a href="/wiki/Rubato" class="mw-redirect" title="Rubato">rubato</a>. This rendition isn't heard in the original Disneyland mansion, but it was recorded during the production of the original attraction. Many sources claim that Buddy Baker himself performed this piece.</li> <li>Séance Circle: Guests pass through the ominous Corridor of Doors (while the foyer organ plays again) and enter Madame Leota's Séance Area. A variety of instruments float through the room, including a harp, a tambourine, and a trumpet. The song's melody hums softly on an organ in the background, while the other instruments fade in and out.</li> <li>Ballroom: A 90-foot (27 m)-long mezzanine overlooks the mansion's ballroom, which is swarming with translucent ghosts. On the far left, spirits pour from the pipes of an organ prop as "Grim Grinning Ghosts" howls through the ballroom, this time as a <a href="/wiki/Waltz" title="Waltz">waltz</a>. This piece makes use of unusual chords, including minor/major sevenths and cluster chords. Baker originally approached film organist <a href="/wiki/Gaylord_Carter" title="Gaylord Carter">Gaylord Carter</a>, who had recorded the other organ tracks for the mansion, to improvise for this ballroom waltz; Carter, however, took too sensible an approach with his improvising for Baker's tastes, so Baker took a transcription of Carter's improvisations to William Sabransky. Sabransky then improvised further from the transcription of Carter's own improvisations, producing the effect Baker wanted.</li> <li>Graveyard: X Atencio's lyrics are first heard in the graveyard scene. A large number of different music loops play throughout the area. Most of them are ghosts singing the lyrics over a background loop that provides the 1960s style bass line and rhythm section. One of the tracks features a harp, trumpet, oboe, flute, and set of stones, which represents the band of ghosts in the graveyard. All four verses are present, with first two in A minor, the third in B♭ minor, and the fourth in B minor. This presentation of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" is by far the loudest and most noticeable in the ride. In early years, the pop up ghosts in the graveyard would loudly scream at the end of each verse. Although the screams were later removed, the ghosts still pop up in time with the end of each verse.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Exit: Guests exit their Doombuggies and proceed through the exit crypt, which leads back up to the themed land. A final, somber <i>a capella</i> refrain can be faintly heard with different lyrics, in which the ghosts encourage guests to return and join their social circle as ghosts themselves.</li></ul> <p>One of the voice talents in the attraction is <a href="/wiki/Thurl_Ravenscroft" title="Thurl Ravenscroft">Thurl Ravenscroft</a>, who was recognizable from other Disney projects, the annual <a href="/wiki/Chuck_Jones" title="Chuck Jones">Chuck Jones</a>/<a href="/wiki/Dr._Seuss" title="Dr. Seuss">Dr. Seuss</a> Christmas special <i><a href="/wiki/Dr._Seuss%27_How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas!_(TV_special)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (TV special)">How The Grinch Stole Christmas</a></i> and as the voice of <a href="/wiki/Tony_the_Tiger" title="Tony the Tiger">Tony the Tiger</a>. He leads the five "singing busts" in the graveyard scene with his characteristic voice. A projected film loop is used to animate the busts, with Ravenscroft and the other vocalists appearing as "themselves." The Ravenscroft bust, which is the second one in from the left, is "broken" and has often been misidentified as being an image of Walt Disney himself. The other four voices of the busts are Jay Meyer, Chuck Schroeder, Verne Rowe, and Bob Ebright. </p><p>A variation of this song is also used at Disney World's <a href="/wiki/Magic_Kingdom" title="Magic Kingdom">Magic Kingdom</a> <i><a href="/wiki/HalloWishes" title="HalloWishes">HalloWishes</a></i> fireworks show and Disneyland's <i><a href="/wiki/Halloween_Screams" title="Halloween Screams">Halloween Screams</a></i> fireworks show. It's also used in parades at <a href="/wiki/Disneyland_Paris_Resort" class="mw-redirect" title="Disneyland Paris Resort">Disneyland Paris Resort</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hong_Kong_Disneyland" title="Hong Kong Disneyland">Hong Kong Disneyland</a> during the Halloween season. </p><p>The seasonal "<a href="/wiki/Haunted_Mansion_Holiday" title="Haunted Mansion Holiday">Haunted Mansion Holiday</a>" overlay at the original Anaheim attraction and Tokyo attraction mixes the tune with <a href="/wiki/Danny_Elfman" title="Danny Elfman">Danny Elfman's</a> melody lines from <i><a href="/wiki/The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas" title="The Nightmare Before Christmas">The Nightmare Before Christmas</a></i> and with <i><a href="/wiki/Jolly_Old_Saint_Nicholas" title="Jolly Old Saint Nicholas">Jolly Old Saint Nicholas</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Jingle_Bells" title="Jingle Bells">Jingle Bells</a></i> in the graveyard. One of the most prominent instances of this is a straight orchestral statement of the "Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize" melody line that plays at the end of the cue for the stretching room. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Phantom_Manor">Phantom Manor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grim_Grinning_Ghosts&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Phantom Manor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On April 12, 1992, Phantom Manor was opened at <a href="/wiki/Disneyland_Park_Paris" class="mw-redirect" title="Disneyland Park Paris">Disneyland Park Paris</a>. Based on the original Disneyland ride but with a new backstory tied into <a href="/wiki/Frontierland" title="Frontierland">Frontierland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Big_Thunder_Mountain_Railroad" title="Big Thunder Mountain Railroad">Big Thunder Mountain</a> and Thunder Mesa, Phantom Manor featured a more coherent storyline and an all-new orchestral soundtrack by composer <a href="/wiki/John_Debney" title="John Debney">John Debney</a>. </p><p>Phantom Manor takes a different approach to the same concept as the Haunted Mansion attractions. The intended mood is one of corrupted elegance, rather than morbid kookiness. As a result, the soundtrack is different as well. The regular Haunted Mansion attractions feature music that is usually played or sung by characters in the scenery: an organist's waltz, a graveyard band jamboree, and so on. Phantom Manor, however, has a full orchestral soundtrack that takes a more cinematic approach, although all of the music is based on "Grim Grinning Ghosts." A variety of instrumentations are used. At various moments, guests hear piano, organ, alto flute, a boy's choir, a jazz band, and a female voice soloist who symbolizes the character of Melanie Ravenswood, all in addition to the ordinary orchestral complement. </p><p>The Singing Busts in the Catacombs scene in the ride uses the same projected film loop from the original Haunted Mansion ride. However one of the busts is absent and one of them doesn't have a broken head. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_film">In film</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grim_Grinning_Ghosts&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: In film"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Disney released the videos <i><a href="/wiki/Disney_Sing-Along_Songs" title="Disney Sing-Along Songs">Disney Sing Along Songs: Disneyland Fun – It's a Small World</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Disney_Sing-Along_Songs" title="Disney Sing-Along Songs">Disney Sing Along Songs: Let's Go to Disneyland Paris!</a></i> as it composed the song. </p><p>When <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_Pictures" title="Walt Disney Pictures">Walt Disney Pictures</a> released the <a href="/wiki/The_Haunted_Mansion_(2003_film)" title="The Haunted Mansion (2003 film)">2003 film adaptation</a>, composer <a href="/wiki/Mark_Mancina" title="Mark Mancina">Mark Mancina</a> was asked to write the film's music. Like Phantom Manor's soundtrack, the movie score is orchestral and uses "Grim Grinning Ghosts" frequently. However, Mancina used "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in somewhat different ways from Debney, focusing more on relatively light-hearted background music and ominous crescendos of orchestra and organ than on waltz-like passion. Cues such as the film's overture allowed Mancina to work with both "Grim Grinning Ghosts" and a theme of his own invention. A scene in the mansion's graveyard also features the attraction's singing busts, whose musical selections include a few lines from the song. The vast majority of the film's music, though, was never officially released as a soundtrack, though copies of a complete album given to staff and orchestra members can occasionally be found for sale. Four minutes of the score did make it onto the "Haunted Hits" CD release, which groups "Sara Passes Out", the overture, and "Going to Heaven" into one track entitled "Overture from The Haunted Mansion". However, none of the orchestral and/or organ statements of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" are heard on this album. </p><p>Despite these, the Overture also pays homage to the ride's organ heard in the Foyer and Corridor of Doors, as it is played in a similar style of a funeral dirge, but the melody is done on a cathedral-style organ, with orchestral strings backing it up, creating a more ominous atmosphere. </p><p>For the 2023 film <i><a href="/wiki/Haunted_Mansion_(2023_film)" title="Haunted Mansion (2023 film)">Haunted Mansion</a></i>, director <a href="/wiki/Justin_Simien" title="Justin Simien">Justin Simien</a> confirmed that composer <a href="/wiki/Kris_Bowers" title="Kris Bowers">Kris Bowers</a> included several interpolations of the theme in his score, stating, "Our composer, Kris Bowers, turned those simple phrases into one of the most lush, exciting movie scores I've heard."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_media">Other media</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grim_Grinning_Ghosts&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Other media"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Soundtrack releases of the song, such as on the <i>Disneyland</i> album in <i><a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_Records:_The_Legacy_Collection" title="Walt Disney Records: The Legacy Collection">Walt Disney Records: The Legacy Collection</a></i>, consist of the "Otherworldly Concerto", the Ballroom scene music and the lyrics from the Graveyard scene, before concluding with the a capella refrain and Little Leota's "Hurry back" lines from the exit.</li> <li>The song, appropriately, was used as the BGM for the "Haunted Mansion" race track in <i><a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_World_Quest:_Magical_Racing_Tour" title="Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour">Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour</a></i>.</li> <li>In the <i><a href="/wiki/House_of_Mouse" title="House of Mouse">House of Mouse</a></i> episode "<a href="/wiki/List_of_House_of_Mouse_episodes#ep50" title="List of House of Mouse episodes">House Ghosts</a>", after <a href="/wiki/Pete_(Disney)" title="Pete (Disney)">Pete</a> unleashes them in an attempt to scare the guests out of the club so that he'll be able to shut down the <i>House of Mouse</i>, the Hitchhiking Ghosts perform the song.</li> <li>The song can be heard briefly in <i><a href="/wiki/Toy_Story_3:_The_Video_Game" class="mw-redirect" title="Toy Story 3: The Video Game">Toy Story 3: The Video Game</a></i> in the Toy Box mode.
