Haunted Mansion will work hard not to repeat past mistakes

As many may already know, this isn’t the first time Walt Disney Studios has attempted to transform the Haunted house ride in a cinematic classic. This first effort was attempted twenty years ago and features comedic legend Eddie Murphy alongside Terence Stamp, Wallace Shawn, Marsha Thomason and Jennifer Tilly. The film, titled The haunted mansion, once again finds a group trapped inside the titular spooky abode. Unfortunately, the critical response has been far more terrifying than the film and currently sits at a rotten 14% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

But Haunted house director Justin Simien is fearless. Far from it, in fact. The filmmaker turned to the original attempt to figure out what not to do. As he explains, “[We looked at Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion for how we could] go sideways. We got to the point where we were obsessed with the angle you first see the mansion from when you enter the ride at Disneyland, when we see it through the doors, and when we see the pillars. This angle has to hit. That’s how specific we were. When you first glide through the dining room and see the waltz dancers, this angle had to be the right one, because it’s where you gasp during the ride.

Haunted house is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 28, 2023 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
