The hanging corpse in The Haunted Mansion’s Stretching Room at Magic Kingdom is once again visible now that the ceiling’s scrim has been cleaned.

The Haunted Mansion’s Hanging Corpse

As we reported on Friday, the corpse was more-or-less invisible in the left pre-show room. Disney confirmed this was due to dirt on the scrim that stretches across the ceiling. The corpse was still clearly visible in the right Stretching Room, as seen above.

We re-checked the attraction on Monday morning, and the left scrim was cleaned, allowing a clear view of the corpse once again. The lighting in the room also appears to have been adjusted to better highlight the ceiling.

See the corpse swinging in our video below.

For years, there have been rumors and discussions about the hanging corpse being permanently removed due to sensitivities around the topic of suicide.

Back in 2021, Imagineer Michele Hobbs led a refurbishment of the Disneyland version of The Haunted Mansion and said of removing the hanging body, “It’s been discussed for sure. It’s definitely something that we’re thinking about.”

With 2024 updates to the Disneyland ride, the rumor cropped up again. The corpse was ultimately not removed, but Imagineer Kim Irvine said, “We’re still looking at that. That one is complicated, structurally … One thing at a time.”

That said, we have since heard word from Disney that removing the hanging corpse is no longer under consideration. It may occasionally be removed temporarily for refurbishment.
