So BIG Comic-Con news, good old Guillermo Del Toro is directing a reboot of the Haunted Mansion. The film will focus around the Hat Box Ghost (pictured above), he promises it will be truly scary (kind of an odd promise to make). Already this sounds too good to be true, but honestly I doubt they can do worse than the previous attempt. I shamefully admit that I own the haunted mansion DVD. Only because it says “Haunted Mansion” and I love that ride so much. I actually think the original with Eddy Murphy could of been funny. If you had him freaking out and isolated and going gradually insane (ala Ash from Evil Dead 2) it could of been great. Instead they threw in a damn family and made the ghosts goofy. It was slight potential turned into complete trash.
