Fun Facts: Guillermo del Toro was attached to make a Haunted Mansion film but dropped out and his script was rejected because they thought his script was too scary.

Due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, the cast didn’t attend the film premiere, instead Mickey, Minnie and some Disney villains attended.

Winona Ryder takes an uncredited role as a tour guide.

The chairs in the movie resembles ‘Doombuggies’ the ride vehicles for the Haunted Mansion attraction.

The One Liner Review: Trying to make a plot out of the classic Disney attraction isn’t an easy task, and Justin Simien did try that, which result in a not really a memorable adaptation, yet still kinda a enjoyable watch.
