Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience as Disney’s Haunted Mansion opens its doors this summer, bringing its eerie charm to life. Today, we are thrilled to unveil the official Dolby poster art for the highly anticipated film adaptation. Taking center stage in the artwork is none other than the infamous Hatbox Ghost, a cherished character from the original Haunted Mansion attraction since its inception in 1969.

The Hatbox Ghost, a long-standing part of the Haunted Mansion’s legacy, was temporarily removed due to a rumored technical issue. This effect involved the ghost’s head vanishing and reappearing inside a mysterious box. But fear not, as the spirit has returned in all its spectral glory. Take a glimpse at the captivating new Haunted Mansion poster art below.

Prepare for a spine-chilling cinematic adventure as Disney’s new live-action Haunted Mansion movie arrives in theaters on July 28, 2023. The film has been assigned a “PG-13” rating, promising a thrilling blend of thematic elements and spooky action.

Under the skillful direction of Justin Simien (known for “Dear White People” and “Bad Hair”), this adaptation brings to life the beloved and enduring Disney theme park attraction, where 999 haunts call home.

The stellar cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Rosario Dawson, and Danny DeVito, each contributing their talents to create a hauntingly captivating experience. Jamie Lee Curtis portrays the enigmatic Madame Leota, while Jared Leto brings the iconic Hatbox Ghost to life.

The movie embarks on a thrilling and enigmatic adventure as a doctor (portrayed by Rosario Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (played by Chase Dillon) seek a fresh start by moving into an unusually affordable mansion in New Orleans. Little do they know that their new home holds secrets far beyond their imagination. Desperate for assistance, they turn to a priest (Owen Wilson), who, in turn, assembles a team including a widowed scientist-turned-failed paranormal expert (LaKeith Stanfield), a psychic from the French Quarter (Tiffany Haddish), and a cantankerous historian (Danny DeVito).
