The Graveyard Owls are a pair of owls found in the Haunted Mansion.
Appearances[]
The Haunted Mansion[]
In the graveyard scene, the owls are seen sitting on a tree-branch where they hoot along with the Phantom Five minstrel band. They do this in unison with a group of cats as a Hellhound howls in the background. As they hoot, their heads elongate up and down and their eyes are very reflective.
Trivia[]
- The owls are some of the only characters found in-person on the ride which have no indication of being deceased or otherwise paranormal.
- They do have bright eyes which can appear to be glowing but this is indicative of the reflective owls real-owls have.
- In concept art, the owls appeared alongside the mansion's Raven.[1]
- The accordion-like stretching of the owls necks is similar to cartoon owls from Disney cartoons like The Skeleton Dance or Alice in Wonderland.
- Based off of the design of their heads, the owls appear to be Great Horned Owls.
