Last weekend at Spooky Empire's“May-Hem” convention in Orlando, Florida – a massive gathering of pros, fans and vendors from the world of horror entertainment – veteran voice actress Pat Carroll, the original voice of the diabolical tentacled sorceress Ursula in Disney's The Little Mermaid, read an excerpt from the script for the “Ghost Host” introduction to Disneyland's beloved Haunted Mansion ride.
Originally voiced by another voice-acting legend, Paul Frees, the ghost's narration was read by Carroll in full character as Ursula, complete with her terrifying evil laugh. We have a clip of that reading, courtesy of the Disney news site Inside the Magic. Watch and listen!
