Haunted Mansion Bonus Features

Available now on Digital and coming to 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD October 17 just in time for spooky season is the grim grinning hit Haunted Mansion. Read on to see what exciting bonus features you get when you bring these 999 Happy Haunts home! My personal favorite is the gag reel but I'm also here for deleted scenes.

Haunted Mansion

Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her son Travis (Chase W. Dillon) in hopes of starting fresh have moved into an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. It doesn't take long for them to realize it is filled with ghosts– 999 to be exact. Unable to leave without the ghosts following them, Gabbie seeks the help of Father Kent (Owen Wilson), paranormal guide Ben (LaKeith Stanfield), historian Bruce Davis (Danny DeVito), and medium Harriet (Tiffany Haddish) to rid the home of its paranormal pests. In order to do that they must discover what secrets the mansion holds which means interacting with the haunts. Some are helpful like the legendary Madame Leota (Jamie Lee Curtis) while others like the Hatbox Ghost (Jared Leto) are downright terrifying.

Haunted Mansion is everything a fan like myself could want for one of their favorite rides. This film did a wonderful job of paying homage to Walt Disney's vision for the iconic ride as well as the Imagineers who brought it to life. It balances all the delightful easter eggs and callbacks with a story that feels familiar yet unique. The script by writer Katie Dippold deftly explores loss, grief, and finding joy in a way that speaks to even younger audience members. Aside from the incredible details taken from the ride and amplified on the screen, the performances of the cast make this haunt a blast.
