Plot
This installment of the Ghost Host's show sees the Host previewing a video game featuring Mickey Mouse, a monstrous Phantom Blot and more. But why is the Haunted Mansion depicted on the cover art?
References
- The Ghost Host got his magazine after "scaring his mailman", showing that the Haunted Mansion get its mail delivered to it by mortals.
Continuity
- The Ghost Host hears tell of an in-universe version of Epic Mickey (2010). Unlike the real-life game that was eventually released, this version retains the idea of Mickey Mouse and Oswald Rabbit being brothers and features a monstrous Phantom Blot among its villains.
- The Host also mentions The Mad Doctor (1933) as existing in-universe, which is already the case in Epic Mickey (2010) itself, where it is one of the cartoons showing on the magical Projector Screens in Wasteland.
- The ending leads into Epic Mickey (2010), as the Ghost Host realizes the Haunted Mansion has transported itself to Wasteland to become part of Lonesome Manor. This unwittingly solves a continuity error between Epic Mickey: Tales of Wasteland’s One Scary Night (2010) and the game, as in the prequel comic, Lonesome Manor was much smaller and simply a replica of Phantom Manor, whereas in the game, it is a humongous composite of Phantom Manor and the various designs of the Haunted Mansion.
