==The Queue==
The original queue for the Haunted Mansion featured a hillside graveyard full of humorous tombstones. In 2010 however, the queue was given an overhaul. Now when guests reach a certain point in the line, (the former location of the turnstiles), they have the option of going left or right. If they go right, they will go directly into the mansion. But, but if they choose to go left, guests can experience what Disney calls the new "graveyard queue".
===The Family of Busts===
In the graveyard queue one of the first things that guests will see is a family of marble busts. The busts feature both the faces of the family members, but also a small weapon and a humorous epitaph. The family is comprised of
*Bertie - Avid hunter and expert shot, in the end that’s what he got.
*Aunt Florence - Never did a dishonorable deed. Yet was found face down in canary seed.
*Uncle Jacob - Greed was the poison he had swallowed. He went first, the others followed. His killer’s face he surely knew, now try to discover who killed who.
*The Twins, Wellington & Forsythia - Departed life while in their beds, with identical bumps on identical heads.
*Cousin Maude - Our sleeping beauty, who never awoke , the night her dreams went up in smoke.
When guests pass by the busts, each bust will whisper a clue as to who killed them. It is up to guests to solve the mystery and find out who killed who.

===The Composer 's Crypt===The first of three crypts that guests will pass is the Composer's Crypt. Here musical instruments are carved into the sides of the crypt. When pushed on , the musical instruments play a portion of the attractions theme song "Grim Grinning Ghosts". One side of the crypt features basic instruments (such as those used by the band in the graveyard scene), while the other side features more ghoulish looking instruments.
The Composers Crypt also features a large pipe organ (identical to the one in the Ballroom scene) which plays Grim Grinning Ghosts when they keys are pushed on. The keys When played, the organ also shoot shoots a blast of mist at guests, often surprising them. The top of the organ features banshee heads and a red-eyed raven.
The organ is engraved with the name "Ravenscroft" who is the lead vocalist of the singing busts in the Graveyard scene.
===The Sea Captain 's Crypt===The next crypt that guests come upon is the Sea Captain's. An inscription on the crypt reads":
{{Quotation| "Here floats Captain Culpepper Clyne. Allergic , allergic to dirt so he’s pickled in brine. He braved the sea and all her wrath , but drowned on land while taking a bath."}}
The Sea Captain's arms, leg and hat are all sticking out of his green crypt. The crypt seems to be full of water, as water comes flows out of cracks in the crypt and squirts guestsas they walk by. The Sea Captain can be heard singing a "drunken sailor" song, and from time to time even sneezes, shooting water everywhere. On the more morbid side, the Sea Captain can also be heard drowsing drowning as bubbles rush to the top of the crypt.
If guests try to plug a hole in the crypt, another one will begin leaking!
===The Library Crypt===
The final crypt guests come across in the Haunted Mansion queue is the Library crypt. Two sides of the crypt look like the bookcases found inside the mansion. Like the inside ones, these bookshelves hold haunted books that move in and out by themselves. Guests can also push the books themselves, adding some entertainment for younger guests. The books on the cases are marked with ghostly symbols. These symbols each correlate with a letter, giving guests the task of deciphering the message.
The third side of the crypt features a glowing book surrounded by decaying flowers. In the book, the ghost of the "Poetess Prudence Pock" is working on her poetry. Prudence will usually need guests to help her finish the poems, by giving her rhyming words. A sign above the book says:
{{Quotation| "Her plaintive pleas can still be heard: O muse provide the perfect word"}}
The final side of the crypt has a another plaque dedicated to Prudence which reads:
{{Quotation| "Here lies Poetess Prudence Pock, she died it's said from writers block}}
