The Haunted
Much of the movie's plot is inspired by Phantom Manor, the version of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Resort Paris. Unlike the Haunted Mansions in the other parks, Phantom Manor has a clear storyline of a bride, her lost lover, and her haunting the mansion.,The Evers' car has a personalized Louisiana license plate on both sides. Louisiana does not issue front license plates.,[Jim, Megan, and Michael are in the carriage riding past all the ghosts in the graveyard]
Michael: Dad?
Jim: Yeah, son?
Michael: I see dead people.,Look for a "special" message from Madame Leota at the end of the credit roll. It sounds deadly familiar to the ending of the Disneyland ride.,Featured in Raven-Symoné: Superstition (2003),Grim Grinning Ghosts
Written by Xavier Atencio and Buddy Baker,This was a very poorly reviewed film, and it didn't deserve such flack. For me, it was a dumb, entertaining movie with some heart. For others, it was a terrible job of emulating the classic Disney ride and just another stupid Eddie Murphy comedy vehicle. Though I'd rather go on the ride as opposed to watching this, it still has it's charm. This movie is about a Realtor (Murphy) and his family traveling to a haunted mansion for a business deal. While in the house they learn some strange things and end up traveling through various rooms found in the ride (the bride, the ballroom, Madame Leota, the graveyard with the singing busts). In the end, this is a fun movie for kids, and amusing for adults, with fun references, and a fun performance by Murphy and the kids.

My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 85 mins. PG for mild language, violence,Take your chances on this trick-or-treat assortment of 100 movies to dress up your Halloween Watchlist with funny, creepy, and downright chilling picks, available on streaming and VOD.,
