Pop-up Ghosts
These characters find ghoulish pleasure in popping up from behind tombstones to scare passers-by. Most of them appear to be decaying corpses that were recently unearthed. Though silent now, the characters would originally shriek or cackle as they popped up. Pop-ups were also used in the attic scene (emerging from trunks and boxes) at Disneyland until 2006 and at Walt Disney World until 2007. They remain in the attic of Tokyo's Mansion. In the original attraction script, the attic pop-ups are described as "impish demons."

Famous quotes containing the word ghosts:
“There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases,
As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life,
Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
