The critic consensus on the film is “Haunted Mansion‘s talented cast makes the movie a pleasant enough destination, although it’s neither scary nor funny enough to wholeheartedly recommend.” Haunted Mansion will have its work cut out for it this weekend, heading up against Barbie and Oppenheimer, two films that could carry considerable momentum into this weekend.

The film is directed by Justin Simien and written by Katie Dippold. Haunted Mansion is rated PG-13 for scary action and has a runtime of 2 hours 2 minutes.

A Brief History of Disney’s Haunted Mansion Attraction
The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland has a fascinating history that spans several decades. It all began with Walt Disney’s vision for a spooky, yet entertaining attraction. The concept for the Haunted Mansion was first introduced in the late 1950s, and development continued through the 1960s.
However, due to technological limitations and the scope of the project, the ride’s construction was repeatedly delayed. It wasn’t until August 9, 1969, that the Haunted Mansion finally opened its doors to the public in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, becoming one of the park’s most iconic and beloved attractions.
The Haunted Mansion’s design evolved over the years, with contributions from several Imagineers, including Marc Davis and Claude Coats. Its distinct mix of eerie elements, intricate storytelling, and captivating special effects quickly made it a favorite among park-goers. The ride’s “Doom Buggies” system, developed to transport guests through the haunted scenes, proved to be a groundbreaking innovation in themed entertainment.
As the years passed, the Haunted Mansion received updates, including the addition of new characters and effects. Its popularity even led to the creation of similar attractions in other Disney parks worldwide, solidifying its status as a timeless classic and a must-visit experience for generations of Disneyland visitors.
