$4,000 Haunted Mansion ‘Ghost Host Chair’ materializes at Walt Disney World, awaiting your dining room

in Merchandise, The Walt Disney Company

A sign advertising the “Haunted Mansion Ghost Host Chair $4,000.00” sits on a black chair decorated with iconic purple ghostly patterns, capturing the spooky sophistication of Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion attraction.

Disney’s Haunted Mansion is one of its most popular attractions, especially as Halloween draws near.  The popularity of the paranormal retirement home was such a success when it debuted in 1969, that the ghostly ride has materialized, in one form or another, at almost every Disney park around the world ever since mortals were allowed into the first incarnation.

With the ghostly grim grinning glee bestowed upon this house of boo, related mementos manage to maintain more than magnificent meaning for the mortals who cannot get enough of the haunted attraction.  Over time many of these spirited souvenirs have come and gone, usually appreciating in value (at least to the living).  To add to the dark desires of droves of those delighted with all things Haunted Mansion, Disney has unearthed the ultimate in fiendish furniture for fans with two high end dining room chairs.

Two Ghost Host Chairs featuring iconic purple Haunted Mansion wallpaper designs and visible price signs are showcased in a merchandise location, inviting Disney fans to bring home a piece of the Magic Kingdom’s spookiest attraction.

Covered in the same style of the infamous Haunted Mansion wallpaper, these eerily elegant chairs feature an inverted version of the creepy cool demon-eyed décor with purple detail on a black background. Two versions of these spooky seats are available to haunt your home.

The first of these is the Haunted Mansion Ghost Host Chair, perfect for the head of table (birthday cake and magic candles optional).  The cost for this deliciously dark delight: a mere $4,000.00.

The Haunted Mansion’s iconic Ghost Host Chair, featuring dramatic black upholstery with purple gothic patterns, sits proudly on display with a sign that reads “Haunted Mansion $4,000.00”—a must-see piece for Disney Parks fans and collectors.

Any table playing host to a swinging wake must have plenty of spirited seating for ghostly attendees.  A camel-back side chair, matching the one above, is offered at $2,000.00.

Also spotted, by Haunted Mansion fan Jon Love (who graciously posted the above images as well), this decorative Haunted Mansion Mini Tea Set.  The box is clearly labeled “food consumed from this vessel may be harmful,” a warning best heeded unless joining the ghosts in retirement is desired.  A call to Disney Parks Merchandise advised ITM that the tea set almost certainly sold already (at the time of the call only 4 sets remained on the entire Walt Disney World Resort property).  This hot and cold running tea set requires dearly departing with $55.00.

All three of these Haunted Mansion mementos were spotted at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World in Florida. Ghost fans wanting to enhance their collection should hurry (back) to the Market Place Co-Op store.
