Today we’re going to be your non-ghost hosts and take you on a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of The Haunted Mansion attractions at Disneyland and The Magic Kingdom, so you can more deeply enjoy and appreciate all they goodies they’ve packed into the new Haunted Mansion movie.  We haven’t seen the movie yet so there won’t be any spoilers, but we will be discussing the trailer for the movie later in the episode. So if you consider that type of conversation spoilery, we’ll give you a warning before that part.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Disney has released a movie centered on the Haunted Mansion. Twenty years ago they released The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy, and 2 years ago they released Muppets Haunted Mansion starring Will Arnett and Taraji P. Henson. Both of these movies are available on Disney Plus. Eddie Murphy’s version is not widely favored and has a 5.1 out of 10 on IMDB, while the Muppets version has a slightly higher score of 6.3 out of 10.  If you’re looking for all the Haunted Mansion goodness available on film, we also recommend Behind the Attraction episode 2: Haunted Mansion, also available on Disney Plus.
