TOT Ghosts

Answers:
1)   A – The phantom of Edward Teach, the legendary Blackbeard, turns out to be a pretty good guy in Blackbeard’s Ghost (1968). Francis Verney hasn’t become a Disney haunt so far – but you can spot his portrait in the loading area at Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction!
2)   C – Disney did produce Silly Symphony short entitled Skeleton Dance, but there is no Spooky Dance.
3)   B – According to Walt Disney Imagineering’s Haunted Mansion show documentation, he’s the only original ghost aside from Madame Leota with an official name (the bride, Constance, was a later addition).
4)   A – Child of Glass (1978) was based on Richard Peck’s novel The Ghost Belonged to Me.
5)   D – Zero guides Jack’s sleigh with his glowing pumpkin nose. Good dog!
6)   C – But there’s room for one more! Will you accept the invitation?
