Paul Frees

Burton is perhaps best known for his imitation (or "voice matching") of the late Paul Frees as the Ghost Host in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction. He was also approached to record a new safety spiel for the beginning of the ride. He agreed to do this under the condition that it was only an addition and did not replace any of Paul Frees' original dialogue. Since this was not the case, he declined and the spiel was instead recorded by voice actor Joe Leahy; petitions are now being drawn either to have Paul Frees reinstated or for Burton to re-record it. Burton also recited the classic line "Welcome, foolish mortals" in the opening of the film version of The Haunted Mansion. He performed another Frees imitation for the second volume of Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America.
