Goofs
When Gonzo follows the floating candelabra down the hallway, he arrives at a spiral staircase, which begins on the left side of the screen and spirals upwards in a clockwise fashion. The scene then cuts to Pepe and the Bride's wedding ceremony and when it cuts back to Gonzo, the same staircase now begins off to the right and spirals upwards counterclockwise.

Quotes
Ghost of Huet: Bring me some tacos!

Crazy credits
Statler and Waldorf make their traditional last heckle.

Connections
Edited from Muppets Tonight: Tony Bennett (1996)

A Gonzo story? I'm listening ...

Muppets Haunted Mansion: my wife's favorite IP and Disneyland ride blended together; she was happy as a clam throughout. And to an extent, I enjoyed this vicariously through her. I liked it; it's a decent holiday special, good message, it's got plenty of feels.

But I couldn't shake the feeling that this is all that Disney plans to do with the Muppets: advertise other Disney stuff. That vertical integration has already leeched onto The Simpsons (cross-breeding it with Star Wars and Marvel) and that's toxic for these characters.

It's not lost on me that I should be happy we're getting new Muppet content at all, but at what cost? There's a GEICO commercial that features Animal, and it's not bad; and this property absolutely needs more pop culture visibility. But it feels dirty if they're just pimping the Mouse's wares.

I hope I'm wrong.
