ericadawn16This is some of the best news ever ever...
Guillermo del Toro directing new Haunted Mansion movie!!!!!!!!
Yes, yes, I'm a Pirates of the Caribbean fan but my favorite ride since I was six years old was Haunted Mansion. You had ghosts, macabre humor and a hanging, what's not to like?
Notice I said "macabre humor," more Addams family, less Laural and Hardy?
And definitely not Eddie Murphy!
That original film was one of the biggest disappointments ever and I kept hoping that someday they would make something more true to the actual spirit of the ride...I just thought I would have to wait quite a bit longer.
Yay, this is going to awesome. Not only is it del Toro, but it turns out he's a HUGE Haunted Mansion fan so it's being directed by a total fanboy!
