Trivia[]
- In the Ghost Gallery storyline they are said to have been the aliases assumed by the guests at a halloween party held by Mme. Tangerine in 1931. In this, Bea Witch was the alias of the swinging duchess, Love U. Truly and I. Truly Dew were the king and queen on the see-saw, I.M. Ready was the Deaf Ghost, and M.T. Tomb was the old man sitting in the hearse's coffin.
- In the comic story "The Pickwick Capers", the Pun Crypts contain a secret entrance into the Mansion that opens when pressing a button on the "M.T. Tomb" crypt.
- The Pun Crypts are incorporated into the passenger car of the lead "Haunted Mansion Train" float in Tokyo Disneyland's Spooky "Boo!" Parade
- The Pun Crypts were designed to resemble a common form of New Orleans crypt called an 'Oven Crypt' or 'Oven Vault' which would line the walls of cemeteries. These crypts were designed to hold corpses of individuals too poor to afford family-crypts or private-cemeteries and they would hold the corpses for 366 days in which time the design of the crypt would naturally burn away the body from intense heat. After the 366 days the corpse would be removed and replaced with another. This was done due to New Orleans's flooding causing coffins and corpses to rise out of the ground to wash up on the streets and the catholic church having prohibited cremation at the time.
