### Comic Description

The Hatbox Ghost says that he probably should be flattered, but fails to understand the exact intended meaning of the word "hot", as he has painstakingly deduced that in modern-speak "cool" means "pleasing", begging the question of how a 'cool' (as in 'pleasing') thing could be 'hot' at the same time.

DIS DA 004

***Challenge the Attic*** (**DIS DA 004**) is a comic published in 2010 on DeviantArt by Distant Shade.

## Description

A colored drawing depicting the Hatbox Ghost sitting down in a thronelike chair with Emily and Constance on either side of him.

## Author's Comment

“So, as it would appear, I am very interested in the attic of the Haunted Mansion, for now at least. So, I was sitting around a few days ago and I thought about the characters in the attic, or who were in the attic and this popped into my head. This is also VERY slightly related to a story idea I have brewing in my head, but I am unsure if, in the end, this picture will have anything to do with it.

So, here we have the two brides, Emily (or the Beating Heart Bride) and Constance (or the Black Widow Bride), and then we have, of course, the Hatbox Ghost sitting in the middle. I am basically happy about how this came out, I am annoyed with how messy it is, but I did not have the time or patience or skill to clean it up. Of the three, I am the most happy with how Emily came out. And, like my other pictures, we have the HM wallpaper I found online in the background. Also, I hope that the title sort of fits.”

It was announced at Comic-Con that Guillermo del Toro was put in charge of making a Haunted Mansion movie, and a main factor to the story is going to be the infamous Hatbox Ghost. Oh my *God*, I am SO EXCITED. The Haunted Mansion is pretty much my favorite ride in Disneyland. I can't wait for it to come out.

So, I got to drawing and came up with my drawing of the Hatbox Ghost. I like how it came out. I colored it in Photoshop and found the Haunted Mansion wallpaper online. Enjoy.”

Demon

**Demons** are the most powerful kind of spirits.

## Description

Demons are extremely powerful spirits, comparable to overpowered goblins. Like Goblins, demons were never alive, which sets them apart from ghosts (even though the more powerful ghosts can be very similar to Demons). Many demons roam the Earth, a menace to both mortals and spirits. However, large concentrations of extremely evil demons can also be found in the Underworld, an underground pocket dimension. Generally, a majority of demons are malevolent and thus extremely dangerous. Fortunately, it is possible to bind demons or, sometimes, to send them back to the Underworld. Demons like to make magical deals, exchanging favours for eternal servitude. However, most demon contracts are tricked. Demons are consumate in the art of Shapeshifting, and many take on odd forms.

## List of Demons

* The One-Eyed Black Cat
* Dog
* The Fireplace Demon
* The Mistress of Evil
* Ammit the Devourer
* Mephistopheles
* The Rougarou
* Bill Cipher
* Cupiditas
* Purson
* Amy
* Stolas
* Crocell
* The Shadow (possibly)

Deadshifting

**Deadshifting** is a type of shapeshifting mastered by a number of ghosts.

## Description

A ghost's natural form is most often either an approximation of the ghost's corpse's appearance at the time of haunting, or an ethereal double of their living self (at varying ages). Deadshifting is the act for a ghost to shift from one of these forms to the other. The process is described as the easiest type of shapeshifting for ghosts of little magical talent. A more advanced type of deadshifting allows the ghost to choose between several corpselike phases, from barely rotten to fully skeletal and everything in-between.

## Known Deadshifters

* The Ghost Host
* The Phantom
* Dorian Gracey
* Emily
* The Phantom Musicians

***Lonely Bride*** (**DIS DA 008**) is a comic published in 2010 on DeviantArt by Distant Shade.

## Description

Emily, lonely in the Attic without her Hattie, forlornly looks at a buttefly who wandered in.

## Author's Comment

“I have discovered that I like drawing Emily (a.k.a. the beating heart bride from the Haunted Mansion). So, here she is, sitting alone on a trunk. Um, little trivia about this piece: in some versions, that is supposed to be the trunk that holds her body, hence the piece of cloth sticking out of it.

I am not sure of the story behind the picture, it just sort of popped into my head, this idea of her spending years in the attic, basically alone (since the Hatbox Ghost was taken away). Not sure what exactly I was getting at with the butterfly but you can make up your own meaning if you so choose.

I cheated a bit on the lighting effects on the trunk, I am not good at shadows, so I did something a little sloppy. Look at it. I guess you can say the light is coming from her. I am most upset about the background, I wanted to have it in the attic, but I did not have the discipline to draw it all out. So, here is the HM wall paper that I found on the net (again) because it looks better than just having straight black.

I hope you like it.”

### Emma's Answer

“Not weird or stupid at all - you might not be too far off in your theory! Hatty’s been known to show up as the green orb in the Séance Circle from time to time. Or maybe a ghost resembling him.

He probably loves annoying Constance with it, too.”

“Mystic Manor is probably the not-Haunted Mansion I know the least about, but that’s really cool, actually! I’d been putting off watching a ridethrough of it until this message, and boy howdy, was it better than I expected. That house design is gorgeous (I’d live there!), and Albert’s really, really cute.

Alas, Hatty’s hard to impress, it seems.”
