Now to the original issue of the post. Let me first say that the idea of a homcidal bride is not indefensible. It was in a way what was always intended. To quote a different part of Dan's AKA HBG2 long forgotten blog, "Her heartbeat fills the room, so her presence fills the room.  Is she dangerous or just sort of sad?  The attic also has three regular ol' head-on-a-stick pop-ups.  They're probably a tribute to traditional spook houses, like everyone says, but they also add a touch of...I don't know...menace...to the atmosphere.  Finally, you see the climax of the scene: the Hat Box Ghost.  Holy crap, now you know what was being foreshadowed.  It's the groom!  Apparently, the Imagineers assumed from the beginning that you would assume—and correctly so—that this is the groom to the bride.  How did he get beheaded, and how came his head to be hidden in a hatbox?  The ride only gives you one real suspect to contemplate, and of course that's the bride.  Remember, her presence fills the room, and the hat box head is hideously-mockingly flipping back and forth in synch with her heartbeat.  You leave the attic full of dark suspicions.  A grisly crime, a shadowy suspect, a perverse nuptial.   Clues to something, but only clues." The whole blog entry can be read here: http://longforgottenhauntedmansion.blogspot.com/2010/05/hat-box-ghost.html Now to Connie's appearance. It is flat, over the top and can't scary anyone but this much is obvious. An AA would look much better. If WDI wanted they could still project her face on a smoothed out version of her head like the singing busts.  Maybe she could phase in and out as the heat beats a steady red glow. And for God sake shut her up. Only the GH is allowed to speak. Her weird confessions and other utterances are not creepy to anybody. She should be mysterious and sinister. Clues should be given to her identity as black widow but nothing obvious. But I'm afraid she is looking like the new precedent at WDI towards the Mansion. Now that we know what followed in WDW's queue crypt and HHGs.
