The Haunted Mansion Page #4

---

A devil's curse.|It seeks to destroy you.

Why would something seek|to destroy me?

I'm just here to sell the house.

Dark spirits from the grave,|come forth.

Lift us from the black|and show us.

Show us the way back.

Dark spirits?|Hey, no dark spirits.

Don't you make no dark spirits|come out.

Lift us.|Lift us up to the light.

And lead us through|this stormy night.

Hey, hey, hey.|Hey!

Hey, I'd really like to stay|on the ground.

I'd rather stay on the ground.|Can I stay on the ground?

Evil and darkness have fallen|this night.

But now to survive,|you must gain new sight.

I must first gain new underwear.

Only the light will lead|the way.

Follow it and find|your way home.

There's no place like home.|There's no place like home.

Go, Mr. Evers.|Your family is at stake.

Your very life is at stake.|Break the curse.

There is no escape for you|unless you lift this spell.

Go.|Save yourself.

Save your family.

Release her.|Release us all!

I'm getting so queasy.|I'm getting very queasy.

Oh!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Oh!

- Dad!|- Dad!

Hey!|Michael and Megan, you okay?

We're fine, thanks.

Get your things.|Let's get out of here.

We have a problem.

Because of the rain?|We're gonna get a little wet.

Let's just find your mom|and get out of here.

I'm afraid that's not possible.|She can't leave.

And why not?

Because she can't!

If I could tell you, I would.|But I can't, so I won't, okay?

Hey, how'd you...

Hey, look.|Come on.

Daddy's having|more hallucinations. Let's go.

- They're ghosts, Dad.|- They're not ghosts.

We're just having hallucinations|from that dinner we ate.

It was that chicken.|It didn't taste right.

- Oh!|- It's not the chicken!

All right. It's not the chicken.|But we're getting out of here.

But we have to help them.

You can't help the dead, honey.|They're beyond help.

The man's talking sense.

Everyone should keep their noses|in their own business.

But we have to help them|break the curse.

Why is everybody talking|about a curse?

Have you been talking|to that crazy green gypsy

in the giant paperweight?

We've got to go back to see her.

- No back. I'm not going back.|- But, Dad!

They had me floating|all around the room.

Hey, I was strapped to a chair,

floating around the room|with a marching band chasing me.

I'm not going back anywhere!|Forget it, Casper!

But Mom's in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

She died here in this house.

She was so very young.

So very beautiful.

She was in love with the heir|to this mansion.

Your grandfather.

And he loved her|more than life itself.

But they were from different|worlds and couldn't be together.

How did she die, Mr. Gracey?

She took her own life.

Poison.

After that,|his life became unbearable.

And so, without hope,|without love,

without Elizabeth,

he hung himself.

His soul wanders these halls,|waiting for her to return.

If you listen carefully,

you can still hear the beating|of his broken heart.

Wait a minute.|Hold it a second.

You're telling me|this guy is dead

and the reason|we were brought here

is he wants to try to get jiggy|with my wife?

Pretty much.|Are you upset?

The guy is dead, and he's|trying to get with my wife!

And the house isn't really|for sale!

Yes, I'm upset!

Oh, Madame Leota, is it her?

Is she truly our dear, departed|Elizabeth come back to us?

It is true.|She walks these halls.

You see?|I told you it is her!

But do not be deceived.

All things are not|as they appear.

For the curse to be lifted,|the truth must be known.

And for the truth to be known,|you must find the key.

What are you talking about,|ball lady? What key?

Enter the tomb|under the great dead oak

and travel down deep|under the ground.

And there you will find the key|that must be found.

Find the black crypt|that bears no name,

or soon your fate will be|the same.

You're telling me all I have to|do is find this key,

then I'm gonna walk out of here|with my wife and kids?

The key is the answer to all.

Well, great. I'm in.|Let's get this key.

There's only one problem.

How do we get out of here?

Yeah, how do we get out of here?

Well, there's always, uh,|my way.

Hey! I thought you said|you could drive this thing!

Don't you worry.|I know exactly what I'm doing.

- Aah!|- Aah!

Well, you better just keep|your eyes on the road!

- Move over!|- What are you doing?

If you keep driving,|you'll kill us all!

That's where you're wrong.

Because some of us|are already dead!

Dad, look.

Ready?|Fire!

Dad?

Yes, son?

I see dead people.

Excuse me.

Why are all these ghosts|still hanging around here?

When they died,|they couldn't find the light.

And now...

Now they're trapped.

Doomed to wander the Earth|for all eternity.

Nice.|Nice job.

Whoa!

Okay.

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Can they see us?

No.|Of course not.

Yes, I can. I'm looking at you|right now in your stupid hat.

Don't listen to him.|He's lying.

Whatever. Come on, kids.|Let's go. Come on.

I could swear he was looking|right at me.

He's psychic.

This was to have been|her wedding dress.

Oh, it's lovely.

It would have been lovelier if|she'd had a chance to wear it.

Now it serves|only as a dark reminder

of what could have been.

To love someone so much|and then lose them so suddenly.

I can't imagine how awful|that must be.

If you truly love someone,|they never leave you.

They remain in your heart|forever.

Isn't that romantic?

He was willing to throw|everything away for love.

Well, now he's broke, dead,|and cursed. Nice move.

- Oh, crap!

These are my new shoes.

Hey, kids, watch your step.

- Oh, crap!

Hey, Michael, don't say "crap. "

All right.|Where is this place?

Okay, where are we?

I think the gypsy lady|said something

about making a left at an oak.

Okay.|Well, glad she was so specific.

What is that?|Do you hear that?

- Yeah.|- Yeah.

# And harmonize #

# When we ghosts come out|to socialize #

# Doom, doom, doom, doom #

# When the cryptos creak|and the tombstones quake #

# Spooks come out|for a swinging wake #

Excuse me.|Sorry to bother you.

But we were wondering|if you happen to know

where the mausoleum was.

# Down by the #

# Old mill stream #

# Where I first met you #

No, no. I think they said|it was an old oak.

That's what they said.|It's by the...

# By the light #

# By the light,|by the light #

# Of the silvery moon #

Yeah. You sound really good.|Your harmony's tight.

But we're trying to find|my wife. She'll be...

# Comin' 'round the mountain|when she comes #

# She'll be comin' 'round|the mountain... #

Listen, guys.|I'm trying to find a key.

I'm trying to find a key...

# Where's the key?|Where's the key? #

# Where's the beautiful key? #

# Find the key, find the key #

# Oh, how happy you'll be #

The key that I'm trying to find|is in the mausoleum.

The key is in the mausoleum.

# You left your key #

# In a mausoleum #

# Down in Dixie #

Dad, there it is!

- # Dad, there it is #|- Thanks.

- # Dad, there it is #|- Thanks for nothing.
