From simple black hallways with loud noises and flashing lights to state-of-the-art animatronics and design, these attractions can greatly vary. From silly to spooky, relaxing to thrilling, there are dark rides that cater to every taste.\u00a0<\/p><p>Although I appreciate the craft in every ride, my favorite form of dark rides are spooky and fantastic. The summerween season is never really complete for me without a trip on a county fair Ghost Train. Halloween is always best with a trip to the Haunted Mansion at a Disney park or Ghost Blasters on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, Canada. Really, every season is made better with rides of some sort! Of course, travel is not always possible, so the next best option is ride-through videos on Youtube.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

The king of all spooky dark rides is &#8220;The Haunted Mansion&#8221;. Similar iterations can be found in Walt Disney World (Orlando, FL), Disneyland (Anaheim, CA), and Tokyo Disneyland (Japan). Disneyland Paris has &#8220;Phantom Manor&#8221;, a version with a very different storyline &#8211; we will check that out later in this post. Hong Kong Disneyland opts for a less spooky, more fantastic &#8220;Mystic Manor&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p><p>The Haunted Mansion is home to 999 happy haunts who spook and entertain millions of guests each year. The fun begins with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehorrorofbeingemily.com\/WDW-Haunted-Mansion-Interactive-Queue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interactive queue<\/a> where guests can learn about a few of the mansion&#8217;s denizens. Next is a pre-show in the gallery, where stretching portraits and a seemingly exit-less chamber set up the chilling experience to follow. Visitors hop aboard a macabre &#8220;doom buggy&#8221; to tour the mansion&#8217;s creepy corridors and grounds. The ride ends with a warning to beware of &#8220;hitchhiking ghosts&#8221; &#8211; with three friendly fiends (Phinneas, Ezra, and Gus) waiting to follow you home.\u00a0<\/p><p>This ride utilizes classic Pepper&#8217;s Ghost illusions, audio-animatronics, projection mapping, and other lighting and sound effects to bring the mansion to life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87d20f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"87d20f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=iBCvUD5YJQQ&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2799ab7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2799ab7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Video from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@DocumentDisney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@DocumentDisney<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e91cd9 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4e91cd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e5e223 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6e5e223\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dance Macabre - Efteling (Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40e58fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40e58fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the oldest theme parks still in existence, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efteling.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Efteling<\/a> is known for its amazing dark rides.

The attraction replaced the former &#8220;Spooksalot Haunted House&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p><p>Two years in the making, Danse Macabre boasts a unique ride system by Intamin where guests sit on one of six choir stalls on top of turntables that spin, rise, tilt, and fall to the classic &#8220;Danse Macabre&#8221; by French composer Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns. The room around the seats comes alive &#8211; or rather, undead? &#8211; with ghosts and ghouls for the duration of the four-minute experience.

Disneyland Paris has the most unique of the traditional Haunted Mansions &#8211; &#8220;Phantom Manor&#8221;. Unlike the U.S. and Japanese counterparts, Phantom Manor has a much more cohesive storyline.\u00a0<\/p><p>Situated in Frontierland, the attraction ties into Big Thunder Mountain and other aspects of the area. Once home to one of Thunder Mesa&#8217;s founders, Henry Ravenswood, locals now steer clear of the dilapidated house, claiming it to be haunted. According to legend, Henry Ravenswood cherished his only daughter, Melanie, and believed no man good enough to marry her. After his death, a mysterious phantom began to torment Melanie. The four men that courted her all came to mysterious and untimely ends. Melanie was driven mad and eventually joined the supernatural menagerie of the house. Her spirit can be seen wandering the many halls of the manor, still in her wedding dress, waiting for a husband who can escape the Phantom&#8217;s grasp.<\/p><p>While the original attraction and storyline featured solely French narration, a 2019 refurb utilized a previously unused narration by horror actor Vincent Price. This attraction is much darker and macabre than the other Disney mansions. Another notable difference is the finale. Instead of a graveyard, the doom buggies descent underground into a crypt and then emerge in a wild west ghost town. Spirits and ghouls enjoy a rowdy afterlife in saloons and other western locale.<\/p><p>From its beautiful soundtrack to the sad and macabre story of the ill-fated bride, this is my favorite dark ride. I look forward to visiting it again someday!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cba859 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\"
