![]() While not what one would expect, they were in love prior to their deaths in the Hollywood Tower Hotel’s elevator in 1939 and remain so in the afterlife. Carolyn is a warm and caring individual, who tries to be as open and honest as one can be in her situation. Gilbert is the snarky and snide actor who, deep down, has compassion for his fellow ghosts. Gilbert and Carolyn are two of the five ghosts featured in the attraction and the film. Which featured Steve Guttenberg and Kristen Dunst as a reporter, Buzzy, and his niece, Anna. And hotel personnel act eerily as if it is still 1939 and everything is fine.īoth Gilbert and Carolyn came to Sunset Boulevard as characters from the 1997 Disney’s Tower of Terror film. The interior remains frighteningly untouched from the way it was that fearful 1939 Halloween night. While the exterior has fallen into disrepair over the years with overgrown vegetation. The hotel is frozen in a twilight zone of time and space. Rumors abound that the missing five people from the elevator still roam the upper floors beckoning new visitors to join them in the Fifth Dimension. They are not ghosts but are trapped in that limbo. It is believed that the ill-fated elevator passengers have fallen into the fifth dimension and were trapped there, never aging for decades. (eight and five add up to thirteen) and the elevator made its way to the top of the hotel, its passengers, and an entire guest wing of the hotel simply vanished when lightning struck the building, leaving a burnt scar and a gaping hole on the outside. The elevator then plummeted out of control to the basement but it mysteriously disappeared before it reached the bottom. However, despite many outrageous gags, nobody could come up with a coherent story to tie it all together and the price for creating these elaborate Audio-Animatronics figures was cost prohibitive.Īs the elevator doors closed at 8:05 p.m. It was Brooks' intention that it be a comedic version of the Haunted Mansion. They would have boarded golf carts (guided by a magnetic wire embedded in the floor) and would experience a coven of witches cooking in their cauldron in the hotel kitchen, encounter Quasimodo the hotel "bellboy," and even visit the men's room where Dracula is trying to shave himself in a mirror where he can't see his reflection and the Wolfman is combing himself all over, while Frankenstein is in a stall trying to grab the Mummy's wrappings from the adjacent stall to use as toilet paper. Guests would be given a chance to tour the "Hot Set" and maybe even get to be an extra in the film. The idea evolved into Mel Brooks' Hollywood Horror Hotel. After several meetings with Imagineering, Brooks put together an idea to combine scary and funny into a Castle Young Frankenstein that would have had a Bavarian village leading to a drawbridge and the castle. But the Tokyo one was on a whole different level of immersement.After these plans were dropped, CEO Michael Eisner pitched the idea to filmmaker Mel Brooks to collaborate on a new Disney theme park attraction in hopes it would also lead to Brooks producing films for Disney.
