Disney’s "Haunted Mansion" Gets Streaming Release Date

Walt Disney Studios' ghostly family adventure movie “Haunted Mansion“ will hit Disney+ starting October 4.

“Haunted Mansion” is based on one of the company’s signature theme park rides. 

The movie is the second adaptation of theme park attraction to big-screen, following in the footsteps of the 2003 movie of the same name that starred Eddie Murphy, Terence Stamp, Nathaniel Parker, Marsha Thomason, and Jennifer Tilly as well as fellow attraction-turned-movie Pirates of the Caribbean, which went on to be a major blockbuster success, spawning a beloved film series.

“Haunted Mansion” stars Rosario Dawson as single mother Gabbie who purchases a mansion in New Orleans that has a strangely low price tag. Once she and her son move into their new home, the affordability of the house quickly becomes clear as it is haunted.

To put a stop to these hauntings, Gabbie puts together a team of "specialists" including a priest played by Owen Wilson, a psychic played by Tiffany Haddish, a historian played by Danny DeVito, and a paranormal expert played by Lakeith Stanfield.

Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced Disney’s billion-dollar-grossing live-action remake of “Aladdin”, are producing via their Rideback banner. Rideback’s Nick Reynolds is executive producing.

The movie is written by Katie Dippold and helmed by Justin Simien, who is making his big-budget studio debut on “Hunted Mansion”.

The cast also features Dan Levy, Winona Ryder, Hasan Minhaj, Jared Leto, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
