Whenever you move into a place, despite your best efforts, there’s always going to be a few things that need doing.
Replace a broken oven. Touch up the paint in the main bathroom. Exorcise a metric ton of ghosts …
Wait, what?!
In Disney’s upcoming romp through the real estate of the afterlife, one group of unfortunate people are going to find out that’s what a hoot of a ride in a Disney theme park is a whole lot more dangerous in real life.
Yes, the ghosts are unhinged, there are a lot of them and they want you to join them.
My suggestion, yes, for the movie, not so much for eternity …
Haunted Mansion opens in cinemas on 28 July in USA and 31 August in Australia.
