Ride TheoryIt occurs to me that the #HatboxGhost at #WDW's #HauntedMansion is analogous to Captain Jack Sparrow added to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
To paraphrase Raymond Chandler, he's as out of place as a tarantula on a slice of angel food.
And he looks like a large, Aurora monster model kit.

JosiahAre #WDW regulars excited for the #HatboxGhost? Part of me says why not let the different mansions have unique elements, especially since Hatbox is much more closely tied to the history of the #Disneyland #HauntedMansion.
But, I also understand that would mean some people never see the Hatbox Ghost.
Doctor DerpI still haven't seen the #HauntedMansion movie and likely won't until it drops on #Disney+ in early October, but I'm curious, do ya'll prefer the #HatboxGhost as a good guy, bad guy, or neutral guy?
It seems like between the movie and the #WDW refurb (where Hattie is not a "Happy" Haunt) that Disney is suddenly leaning into the bad guy interpretation, but I prefer a more neutral/good take on the character personally. Ditto with all the ghosts not named Constance.
