This is not the first time the Haunted Mansion was adapted into a feature film. In 2003 Disney attempted to capitalize on this IP with Eddie Murphy as the lead. Unfortunately, the movie opened up with disappointment as it was not funny or scary. The Muppets also had their time in the Haunted Mansion in the Disney+ Special that premiered last year.
