Event Details
Based on the iconic Disneyland ride, The Haunted Mansion stars Eddie Murphy as real estate agent Jim Evers, a workaholic who wants to close a mansion deal before going on a much-needed vacation with his wife, Sara, and his kids. Upon their arrival, the family is lured apart by ghosts who believe Sara can set them free by joining them in the afterlife. The Evers family battles ghosts, zombies, and spiders to save Sara from eternal damnation, also encountering – of course -- references to the amusement park ride, including Hidden Mickeys and the theme song, “Grim Grinning Ghosts.”
