Back in 2010, Disney made the decision to remake the 2003 horror comedy film, Haunted Mansion. The film was created in a plight to give Disney’s theme park rides films of the same name (including Pirates of the Caribbean), and overall, it told a riveting albeit simple tale of a troubled family and a dark, supernatural love.
When the remake of the film was first being discussed, Guillermo Del Toro was at the helm as a producer and writer; he wanted to create something - in typical Guillermo Del Toro style - that was scary and fun. He was sure as hell going to make sure that the ‘scary’ would scare audiences from their seats, and of course, Del Toro soon enough found himself no longer working on the project (reminds me a lot of a Silent Hill-shaped project…).
Instead, Katie Dippold - a writer of Parks and Recreation and 2016’s less-than-loved Ghostbusters reboot - was brought on board as writer.
