Don't Mansion It

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the haunted mansion. I am your host. Your...GHOST....host.

And....I like big BUTTS and I cannot lie,
No other specter can deny,
When a ghoul walks in...

Hm? Oh. (Ahem.) Sorry.


Our tour begins here, in this bowling alley.

As you can see, we have pins and needles to spare. (Muah-ha-haa! Puns killed me.)


Ah, but your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding - almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis:

Are these ghosts actually stretching?

Or have they been run over?


Also, what's the deal with this guy?



And consider this dismaying observation:

Strong spirits are a leading cause of gingivitis.

(Look it up.)


We have 999 happy haunts here, but there's room for a thousand.

Any volun...

David, I'm trying to spiel here. Do you mind?

"Is this real life?"

No, David, this is real death. Run along, now.

My apologies.

As I was saying, we find it delightfully unlivable here in this ghostly retreat. Every room has wall-to-wall creeps, and hot and cold running Chills!

The Chills are our resident track team.


Now, as they say, "look alive," and we'll conclude our little tour.

Not that alive.


Oh, and before you go, there's a little matter I forgot to mention:

BEWARE...of shop-lifting ghosts!

"QUICK! Mall security is coming!"


Sunny R., Ticara G., Kartrina R., Jill M., Janet, Annette D., Brady, Jenna A., H.M., & Heidi Y., your ghosts will haunt you until you return...all that stuff they took.

  2. I love the reference to David! My sister had nose surgery (cuz her sinuses were all messed up) and she was just like that! Man, if we had only had a video camera at the ready..... [devilish laugh]

  3. I'm the first commenter this morning? I guess no one is awake yet, except Jen. LOL!

    I thought the first cake was the ice cream on a Dairy Queen soft serve cone, until I scrolled down further.

    The 7th cake is a poo ghost rather than a boo ghost.

    The 8th cake - well, I didn't think that sperm had anything to do with Halloween. Or fish, for that matter.

    Great post, as usual! You spoil us, Jen!

  4. As a huge fan of the Haunted Mansion, so I absolutely loved this post! Awesome!!!

  5. I love that you are a Disney geek and that evidence of this gets worked into posts from time to time.

  6. ha! The sperm cake almost made me spit my chicken and broccoli pasta leftover breakfast onto my computer screen.

  7. Haha I loved reading this, imagining Paul Frees narrating it! Gotta love Disney :)

  8. Unboolievable.

    Really.

    The big butted ghost whooo first appears... he's really cute.

    #2, not so much. #3 -- I think someone altered Bigfoot's foot? #4 - um. Uh. Moving on.

    I didn't think spider webs could catch onto a non-solid. Ghostly. And a random jellybean. *snort*

    I'm still trying to figure out the orange 'glow' around Mr gingivitis toothy ghost.

    Real death... cute. Forget cross eyed - this poor critter died when his eyes stuck like that, just like his mom told him they would! Ultimate horror.

    The cookie - the cookiecake comes just about on a par of patooie for me as the dreaded CCC. This wreckerator has obviously never seen a real ghost, only Caspar, who does wander about with legs. Anyone else ever wonder why he gets legs?

    Orange, yellow, and blue WHAT??? Mini cupcake PULL-APARTS?? Go pull your own parts, please.

    Last ghost -- he's too busy being scared to scare anoyone.

    Thanks for the ghostly giggles!!

  9. Lol, white blob with black dots to represent eyes and mouth. Got yourself a ghost right there. Except the coloured one, which looked like little sperm going round in a circle... ew... now THAT is going to haunt my nightmares

    ReplyDelete
  10. I've watched so many run-throughs of the Haunted Mansion on YouTube, I picked up immediately; otherwise, I would not have noticed. Kudos for awesome reference, Jen. Kudos indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Is it wrong that I find these adorable? 'Specially the shoplifting ghost. And kudos for the Haunted Mansion reference!

  13. Hey, I'm sure low motility is scary, especially when the news comes on Halloween...

    ReplyDelete
  14. I like the first one. :D And the Haunted Mansion wins all. My favorite ride at Disney.

    WV: gasesses, what real ghosts are made of, what those ghosts will give you

  15. I'm not sure what's worse -- these cakes or the fact that The Boob Nazi eats chicken and broccoli pasta leftovers for breakfast.

    WV: pardeme -- Pardeme while I go find something more tasty than broccoli for breakfast.

  21. BONUS DAY!

    YES!!!!!

    Thank you. You're so awesome. This week, I got to show your blog to two people who had never seen it before. I LOVE doing that because the first time anyone sees Cakewrecks, they always laugh until they have to excuse themselves to the restroom.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Love the Haunted Mansion lines! Haha! :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. LMAO even my 3-yo didn't know that the last one is supposed to be a ghost! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  24. That ghost baby got SCARY back, whew! (Yes, I am unfamiliar with Haunted Mansion, but Sir Mix-A-Lot and I go waaaay back, heh.)

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have worked seasonally at WDW's Mansion for 6 years and this post is completely and totally amazing. I will be scaring small children for the wonderfully hellish week at Disney between Christmas and New Year's. Come and visit!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The one with the orange sprinkles looks kinda delicious. Or like it's suffering from measles.

    I like that shoplifting ghost too.At least it has candy on it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. OMG! I can't believe these are for sale! LMAO

    For my (some big number) birthday my sister ordered a cake from Safeway, the major local grocery store.

    In the custom wording "your" was requested by my sister. We got "yor". And that was the corrected cake. I'll see if I can find the pic.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hm. I've never heard of this "Haunted Mansion" -- from reading the comments I'm assuming it's a ride at Disney? Anyway, so all of THAT aspect of the post went straight over my head. That probably explains the bits that I didn't understand, or didn't find funny...

    But it was all made up for by the shoplifting ghost. Love the look on his face!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. what's with the sperm cake? "happy halloween, oh, and good luck with trying to get pregnant. we hear you've been having trouble conceiving."

    ugh. yecch.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Reading this made me want to ride the "Haunted Mansion"!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I tried to read the text in Paul Frees' voice but I kept getting distracted by the pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love it Jen!!!

    We're getting ready to head off to Disneyland in about an hour for one more dose of Nightmare Haunted Mansion!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Look alive, looks like sperm circling. Yikes!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Strong spirits are a leading cause of gingivitis.

    MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!! XD

    Oh yes, I'm that lame. The whole post is made of WIN and that joke is the one that made me laugh aloud so that my dorm mates now probably think I confused the dates and actually started drinking today... :3

    ReplyDelete
  35. Dude, the sperm. Ghosts start out as people, and they have to start SOMEWHERE.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jen - I think I love you! This was awesome!!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Ghost number 4
    ...is, in fact not a ghost.

    see?

    ReplyDelete
  41. 1. The 1st ghost actually IS pretty cute.

    2. Cupcake wreckorators should be taken out and shot behind the bakery.

    3. What the heck do rainbow colored sperm have to do with Halloween? ;-P

    ReplyDelete
  42. I LOVE this! And I LOVE you for this! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  43. OK. I actually love that shoplifting ghost. (It's that expression on it's face, "where are the security spooks?") And I think in the case of "ghosts" CCCs actually work. Unlike the rainbow spoo ghosts.

    Hahaha :D These are actually kind of cute, in a sheepish sort of way!

    I went to Disneyland Paris once, and the Haunted Mansion was both hilarious and scared me witless! I love Disney!

    ReplyDelete
  45. The "ghost" with legs is clearly NT a ghost but a mummy...
    Not a good mummy, but a mummy none the less...
    Or, maybe my whole outlook on like is skewered because of that HORRIBLE MEALOAF BABY....... BWAAHHHH
    I will enverbe the same. (My husband said a little change is not really such a bad idea in my case...)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Anonymous @ 4:45,

    I was thinking the exact same thing! Ghost 4 really does look like one of Don Hertzfeldt's cloud guys.


    P.S. This really has nothing to do with the post but my v.w. today was "duckswar". No lie.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have no mouth and yet I must BOOOOOOOOO

    ReplyDelete
  48. Dismaying? Don't you mean dispiriting?

    ReplyDelete
  49. heehee! i love that sir mix-a-lot song!!! so I LOL-ed so hard on the first ghost. that is a HUGE ghost butt!!!

    also the last ghost -- WRAPPED candy on the cake? doesn't seem very foodsafe! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Always did like the Haunted Mansion as Disney.

    But, OMG, Cake #1 just killed me. Do ghosts do it doggy style? Sperm ghosts?

    Can't afford to get to Disney this year (or last), so guess I'll pop in the E.Murphy Haunted Mansion movie tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hmm, no "everyone knows that the Haunted Mansion is actually called..." admonishments. What is the EPCOT warning status -- grey?

    I have the Haunted Mansion story on vinyl disc, so I hear the captions in Pete Reneday's voice.

    #1 I too immediately thought of DQ. If they made a serving that size, I would definitely buy it -- it is worth the brain freeze!

    All except #1 and #8 are CCC's -- Spooy! I second @Robin's motion to ban them.

    #9 Since little guys don't have eyes, I see tadpoles. Brightly colored tadpoles -- a halloween tradition since 2010. What -- I suppose sperm makes more sense?

    ReplyDelete
  52. This makes me sad. I just saw a cake that I decorated on this post. Man, this really sucks. My whole life's ambition is to be the best cake decorator ever. I think it's on this site because you're making fun of me. Wow, my ma and pa tell me I'm the best frosting artist they've ever seen. I think you're just jealous of me.

    Just kidding. A little Halloween humor for you. New to your blog. And I LOOOOOOVE it. =)

  53. Sperm cake = Happy HalloWEENIE!?! no? =)

    was that an eyeball in that cluster of candy?

    ReplyDelete
  55. The ghosts on that second-to-last creation are the spirits of the poor little fellas that wound up in a condom.

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    WV - Ablegie: There's nothing ablegier than a semen cake.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hmm, the first thing I thought of wasn't ghost sperm but of the "alien souls" as rendered by South Park's artists during the Scientology spoof.

    wv: supente Don't keep me in supentes! Tell us how these wrecks happened!

  57. As a Disney pass holder and frequent Haunted Mansion rider, I loved the Haunted Mansion homage. I enjoyed reading the text imagining it in the ghost host's voice.

    ReplyDelete
  58. LOLed over your caption on the first one.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I have to be honest. I hate the Haunted anything. Last time I went to a haunted corn maze, I went into labor.
    I know what you're thinking- bad idea to go to a haunted corn maze whilst knocked up. I agree. In my defense, I thought I was a lot braver than I was. Apparently, all the training the Army can give me is no match for some crazy dude running after my prego self with a chainsaw and being fully aware I can't run, see, stop urinating or crying.

    ReplyDelete
  60. seriously?

    A Haunted Mansion *AND* David After Dentist in the same post.

    *MUAH*

    I think I love you!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Awesome ~ they look like they were a lot of fun to make up. My personal fav was the shoplifting ghost. Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love the last one - with the little 'dump' of tootsie rolls and gummy worms; there isn't even a pretension of creativity there.

    ReplyDelete
  63. LOL! Love the HM commentary. That first one looks like a cat!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Haunted Mansion FTW!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Love 'em! # 4, the Popcorn Ghost!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Excellent use of the Haunted Mansion monologue! Your first ghost made me literally lol.

    ReplyDelete
  67. WHAT NO STAR TREK WHAT THE HECK IS THE DANG WORLD COMING TO TREKKERS FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. The Haunted Mansion is my favorite Disney ride (when we went to Disneyland Paris, I made my husband ride it three times with me)! I think I just about died (pun intended) laughing at your "beware of shoplifting ghosts" line.

    ReplyDelete
  69. What disease does that speckled ghost have???

    ReplyDelete
  70. I agree with everyone, the Haunted Mansion definitely made the post :) I worked at Walt Disney World on the college program for 9 months and an in-joke between me and my best friend was speaking as the Ghost Host. It definitely made the cakes that much funnier!

    Also, it just makes me smile when you do references to the World :) I miss it everyday.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Trying hard NOT to imagine what the other side of the "Junk in theTrunk" ghost cake...

    ReplyDelete
  72. Now I have that Sir Mix-A-Lot song stuck in my head...thanks a lot!

    As a fellow Disneyphile, I loved the Haunted Mansion lines! There's no turning back now...Mwahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Love it! I actually spent Halloween *at* Disneyland this year, and while I miss the traditional Mansion spiel, the whole experience was very, very awesome. This was a perfect post to return to after our trip. I especially love the "are these ghosts actually stretching" bit. ;)

  74. I'm totally amused that another wreckporter found the same CCC I did and also submitted it. What I want to know is if we found it at the same store or if there was more than one of these shoplifting ghost abominations.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Is it bad that I can actually HEAR the HM voice when I read this????

    LOVE. IT.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Ok, so. Yes, I'm *mumbling*nearlyamonthlatereplyinghere*COUGH!* but, I was back-tracking through some missed posts... and this one is definitely one of my all-time fav CW posts!!

    LOVE the HM theme and I actually snorted aloud at the David interruption ;D

    You guys ROCK. \m/\m/

    ReplyDelete
  77. The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite things ever. This is awesome!
