Look, in case you’re going to make a Haunted Mansion film primarily based on the basic Disneyland attraction, I suppose you would possibly as nicely actually adapt the trip. The trailer for the brand new model of Haunted Mansion (a earlier movie was launched in 2003, starring Eddie Murphy and Terence Stamp) options a number of characters and spooky results and pictures plucked straight out of the trip that has been haunting Disneyland and Walt Disney World visitors for many years.
I’m not the world’s largest Haunted Mansion professional, however even I acknowledged a bunch: There’s the enduring stretching room the place you start your tour, there are two ghosts with vintage pistols firing at each other, there’s Madame Leota, the spectral head in a jar (performed right here by lately minted Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis). Even the chairs on this mansion are supposed to evoke the form of the “Doom Buggy” trip automobile that takes you thru the Mansion in California or Orlando.
And there’s the fabled Hatbox Ghost, a well-known a part of the attraction that was eliminated shortly after the Haunted Mansion first opened in Anaheim, after which was lastly returned to his unique residence in 2015. Within the movie, he’s performed by Jared Leto. (Can’t wait to listen to how he acquired into character to play an undead ghoul!)
