Snow White’s Scary Adventures – The Mirror Reveal

Image: DisneyWhat’s the first thing you teach children about interacting with others? You tell them not to take candy from strangers, right? Alas, you’re a better parent than Snow White’s mom. The most gullible of all Disney Princesses thought, “A creepy looking old woman wants to give me an apple! I will devour every last bite and maybe even the core!” Snow White’s so courteous that she refuses to behave dismissively even to haggardly people in darkened cowls, ones who act shifty and keep scoping the area to verify that there are no witnesses.

Snow White’s Scary Adventures cleverly plays on this premise. You’re happily riding along through a darkened corridor when you see two vultures. That’s a sign of good luck, right? Nope! They’re the harbingers of the impending danger in the next room. This ominous location shows a woman querying her magical mirror. When she turns around, you realize that you’ve been tricked by that disguised hag. She’s the Evil Queen! And she wants you to taste her apple! The villain on this ride is trying to poison her guests. It’s not the best way to get repeat business at Disneyland.

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Introductory Video

Image: DisneyWhen you enter the Twilight Zone, you’re tacitly accepting that some weird stuff is about to happen. Still, you can’t possibly be prepared for the horror awaiting you in the introductory video. It’s the sort of twisted stuff that sounds like a clickbait headline, only it’s true.

While watching the video, you learn the terrible truth about the tragic events that ruined the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Five people entered an elevator, only to end up trapped there forever. A pair of celebrities, a little girl, her nanny, and the bellhop experienced some sort of supernatural phenomenon that ended their lives and left their souls in eternal torment. Even Mr. Toad at least knows he’s in Hell. These unfortunate victims are in some sort of perplexing nether realm, where they lack true corporeal form. And that bellhop’s never getting his tip, either.
