One of my favorite parts of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. These
are busts that have video projections of each member of this group singing
"Grimm Grinning Ghosts" as you travel by. I have always been captivated
by how Disney was able to do this, ever since my first time in the Haunted
Mansion, some 38 years ago. This is really a low light scene and I had
to bump up the brightness in Photoshop.
I created a short slide show of the various images from this series:

Music by Buddy Baker and lyrics by F. Xavier Atencio
When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.
Now don't close your eyes,
And don't try to hide.
Or a silly spook may sit by your side.
Shrouded in a daft disguise,
They pretend to terrorize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.
As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree,
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes,
Start to shriek and harmonize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell,
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell.
Restless bones etherialize,
Rise as spooks of every size.
If you would like to join our jamboree,
There's a simple rule that's compulsory.
Mortals pay a token fee.
Rest in peace, the haunting's free.
So hurry back, we would like your company.
