Seeking shelter from a bad storm, Mickey Mouse hides in an old dilapidated house. Inside, there are skeletons. After some frightening encounters, they make Mickey play the organ for them to dance to.
Continuity[]
The titular haunted house is believed to have served as the inspiration for the Old Mortimer Mansion seen in the comic story Mickey Mouse in Death Valley (1930).[1]
Behind the scenes[]
On August the 22nd, 1929 The short The Skeleton Dance, the first of the Silly Symphonies, was released to the public. The Haunted House came out just a few weeks before this on August the 1st, 1929 as part of the Mickey Mouse cartoon series. Several scenes from the skeleton dance were directly inspired by this cartoon.
