Changes

After the Ghost Host introduces guests to the Haunted Mansion, they are ushered into an octagonal gallery known as The Stretching Room. This room features vertically stripped wallpaper and menacing green gargoyles. The room also has four seemingly normal portraits of unknown people hanging on the walls. Inside the room the Ghost Host once again speaks to guests saying:

{{Quotation|"Welcome! Foolish Mortals, to the haunted mansion, I am your host, your ghost host. Hmmmm. Our tour begins here, in this gallery. Here where you see paintings of some of our guests, as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state. Kindly step all the way in please, and make room for everyone. There’s no turning back now!}}

{{Quotation|"Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination, hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows, and no doors. Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out!...Of course, there's always my way!"}}

At this point, lighting flashes above the room to show the corpse of the Ghost Host hanging in the rafters (having apparently committed suicide). Finally, during the 2007 refurbishment of the Haunted Mansion, the gargoyles that light the room were given dialog <ref> http://www.doombuggies.com/secrets_foyer.php </ref>. After the Ghost Host tells guests to "stay together please" the gargoyles whisper "stay together" and then giggle like haunted children.
