The Haunted Mansion first opened at California's Disneyland in 1969, years after it was initially conceived by Walt Disney as a walk-through attraction. Taika Waititi is also reportedly at work on another feature-length Tower of Terror film with Scarlett Johansson. It is the latest in a growing line of films based on classic Disney attractions, joining Brian De Palma's Mission to Mars, 2002's The Country Bears, Tomorrowland, last year's blockbuster Jungle Cruise, and the hit Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise. Writer Katie Dippold's ( The Heat, Ghostbusters) plot revolves around a mother (Dawson) who attempts to exorcise her New Orleans mansion from the happy haunts inside after she moves in.
