Haunted Mansion Holiday, a seasonal overlay of the Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland attractions, features characters from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. See List of The Nightmare Before Christmas characters.
A painting of the Ghost Host, derived from concept art by Imagineer Marc Davis, can be found in the Corridor of Doors, depicting a tall, thin, ghoulish-looking albino holding a hatchet, with a noose around his neck. He has long, stringy white hair and appears to be giving the "evil eye". In his Walt Disney World Corridor of Doors portrait, the shadow he casts behind him raises the hatchet menacingly. Additionally, he appears as a Sinister Eleven portrait character in the Walt Disney World and Tokyo Mansions. Walt Disney World's current version of the Sinister Eleven portrait depicts him with heterochromia (two different iris colors). At Disneyland, in the séance room, his face appears on the wall as one of several faces in a cycle.
Contrary to popular belief, he is not the character Master Gracey. The Ghost Host as Gracey meme was first spread via fan fiction written by Walt Disney World Cast Members that circulated widely online, and eventually made its way into licensed media adaptations. This was based on the faulty assumption that the Ghost Host is the master of the house, and the "Master Gracey" tombstone, which in actuality was using an entirely different definition of "master." Early versions of the attraction script did attribute the Ghost Host as "the lord and master of this haunted mansion," but it was an aspect of the character that didn't make the final cut. In the second edition of his book, The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies, Imagineer Jason Surrell states that "the Ghost Host is not the master of the house—Gracey or otherwise—but merely one of 999 happy haunts." In press material from around the time of the attraction's opening in 1969, the Ghost Host is referred to as the "majordomo of the Mansion's skeleton staff."
One proposed concept for the Ghost Host was that he and the Raven would turn out to be the same character. This idea eventually changed to the Raven retaining a speaking role, but as a foil to the Ghost Host. In the final attraction, the Raven does not speak, and there is no overt relation to the Ghost Host.
In the 1969 record album The Story and Song from the Haunted Mansion, the Ghost Host was voiced by Pete Renoudet, using a "Boris Karloff type" voice.
During Haunted Mansion Holiday, he is voiced by Corey Burton (who replaced Frees after his death in 1986). In an interview with Burton, he stated, "the Ghost Host, to me, is the voice of the structure itself. It comes from the walls." Burton also voiced several characters in the video game, including the game's villain, Atticus Thorn (a character partially inspired by the Ghost Host).
The Ghost Host's famous line "Welcome, foolish mortals" was reproduced by Corey Burton in the opening titles of the 2003 film. Rick Baker, who designed the makeup effects for the 2003 film, made a cameo appearance as the Marc Davis visualization of the character in the graveyard scene, crouching behind a tombstone. In a special feature on the DVD for the film, the Ghost Host was voiced by Tony Jay. The character Master Gracey (Nathaniel Parker) hanged himself in the film's story - a reference to the Ghost Host's suicide in the attraction. In one scene, Ezra (Wallace Shawn) says the Ghost Host's line, "There's always my way." HalloWishes (a fireworks show that takes place at Walt Disney World during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party) is narrated by the Ghost Host, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. Richardson also voiced Henry in The Country Bears, a film based on Disney's Country Bear Jamboree attraction. Pete Renoudet (the Ghost Host in the Story and Song album) voiced Henry in Country Bear Jamboree. In a teaser trailer for the upcoming Guillermo del Toro film based on The Haunted Mansion, Ian McShane provided the voice of the Ghost Host. McShane also played Blackbeard in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Paul Frees, the original voice of the Ghost Host, played a pirate captain based on Blackbeard in the original Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
