Justin Simien Directing A New Movie Based On Disney’s ‘The Haunted Mansion’

One of Disney’s most popular attractions is The Haunted Mansion. Deadline is reporting that Justin Simien (“Dear White People”, Bad Hair) is directing a new movie, written By Ghostbusters‘ (2016) Katie Dippold, about the ride for Disney. The attraction, which debuted in 1969, “sees theme park guests go inside a spooky and creepy manor that has a wide array of supernatural frights.

I decided to do a “Ghostbusters” marathon and watch all three films in a row and give an honest opinion on them.

The problem right away in the 1989 sequel is there seems to be a
