#haunted mansion 2003

[professional-termite]

Currently watching "Haunted Mansion" kinda like it.

But why do you?

well it depends on which one (i think you mean the 2023 film but im not sure)

i like the 2023 film because:

-found family dynamic

-ben is a bisexual he/they change my mind

-owen wilson

-the references to the original ride

-"nah" *grabs child and leaves house*

-danny devito

-deals with a man's (ben's) grief in a surprisingly respectful way and never makes him seem weak for the fact that hes grieving

i like the 2003 movie because:

-TERMITES MENTIONED

-ghost ball

Dead wife disease

It’s funny, in a dark sort of way, that across the years and across media. Gracey loses his wife in  increasingly tragic ways to the point it’s sort of comical. No wife Georg

It is additionally funny as in most cases his wife turns out to be the heartbeat bride/Emily De Claire in several of these cases

Edward Gracey (2003)-

Bride to be is poisoned. She is also the ghost bride, however she’s a orb most of the runtime. Edward hangs himself -> it’s a nod to the ghost host but not direct.

William Gracey (2005)-

Bride to be is scared to death by pirate ghosts as a way of getting back at him. She is the beating heart bride and her name is Emily de Claire. William hangs himself and in this case is the ghost host, adding fuel to the theory. He is also Captain blood referencing a character from a og concept for the ride. (He’s 3 characters in one)

William Gracey (2023)-

Same name as the SLG and one of the more popular ones for him. This time he is fully married and his wife is not the bride but dies of Yellow fever. William poisoned himself and the ghost host is a separate/cameo character and there’s no real noose motif anywhere.

Aging man/Master Gracey (1971)

Presumed bitchless.

The ride does not connect him with anyone besides the family plot who don’t make physical appearances. Some see him as with Sally slater? I still like to have him with the beating heart bride because the comics control my brain (though most see her and Hatty as a thing.)

Rewatched the 2023 Haunted Mansion movie earlier, and noticed something.

In the first sequence of Travis and Gabbie in the house, Travis covered a bride's portrait in one of the bedrooms. But this bride doesn't look like Constance. She doesn't have such a full "fluffy" veil, or the high-necked dress.

Instead, she has a more translucent veil, with a lower neckline to her dress, and in the glimpse we get, she looks like she has brown skin?

(Please excuse the terrible picture I can't get screenshots or find any better photos)

In her manifestation, she's much less outwardly hostile (as Constance, I would assume, would immediately race to attack Travis), this bride kind of just floats in the corner, jerks her head a bit, giggles, and welcomes him home.

My immediate first thought was it was Elizabeth, maybe a brief nod to the 2003 movie. But what do you all think?

Last Night was an interesting evening. Elizabeth and I got a little too tipsy, and one thing led to another and we got arrested for public indecency. Dorian bailed us out shortly after. Sincerely, Edward Gracey

Haunted Mansion Old vs. New

Saw The Haunted Mansion today at the theater. It's pretty good! They maybe have a few too many characters we don't get to know as well in favor of focusing on the main character (I get why, but tbh a lot of the others seemed to have more interesting backstories so I kind of wish they'd maybe combined one of them into the main character), but they had a lot of fun one liners, easter eggs, and good story. Everything makes relative sense

I say this in comparison to the 2003 movie we watched before to remind ourselves how that one went, and show it to my nephew who had never seen it. The new one is honestly a VAST improvement. Watching the old one just made me realize how dumb Eddie Murphy and his family was, especially the wife.

Like, Eddie Murphy was typical workaholic dad from your 90s to 2000s build, like Robin Williams in Hook or Jim Carey in Liar Liar. Kids are...Kids. But the wife? Woman gets a call from a creepy voice asking for only her to come view the house when she and her husband are both realtors? That should've been an immediate click of the phone, that is some serial killer shit. Puts up with her husband? Questionable. Like even he can't really justify why he keeps putting work first and like...that kind of takes away his motivation for everything too. But, house is creepy and covered in cobwebs with a cemetery in the back? Oh, but the architecture! Can't find find her husband and the "charming" master of the house keeps looking at her with googly eyes, telling her tragic tales from a hundred years ago like he was there, and remarking on his lost love? Red flags everywhere, but she still follows him to the attic!

The man has to come out and directly say he thinks she's the reincarnation of his lover and reveal he's a ghost before realizing something is wrong. And she's just kind of...blah. Her character is just "the lady to be fought over who is also a mother and a realtor".

Also, the story didn't make much sense as to why they had ghosts from all over the world and history in this one mansion, hand-waving it as being just a magnet for them--yet to be honest you only ever really see them in the graveyard, for like less than five minutes. The only ghosts used as characters are originals who are just a maid and a footman, none of the ones from the ride, and no other ghosts besides the butler work against the family. Instead you get a bunch of zombies in the crypt, I'm guessing because they worked so well in Pirates of the Caribbean. But because there are hardly any ghosts, you don't see a whole lot of allusions to the ride either besides the graveyard and the climax is a little lackluster, with the butler literally being dragged to hell after admitting he killed his master's lover because she wasn't good enough via a giant fire serpent that we never see in the ride. I mean, zombies weren't in the original Pirates ride, but they are at least explicitly zombie PIRATES and they work it into the setting fairly well. Explicitly showing heaven and hell at the end and moving on the ghosts was kind of jarring but also it's over really fast for being the supposed final boss. And begs the question why he never was taken before--the curse is never really explained. The new lays out why the ghosts are there, why they are trapped, and has a showdown between an army of ghosts and the protagonists, which works a lot. Looking at it compared to the new one, it's obvious they put a lot more thought into the 2023 version.

New one makes a lot more sense in the story, with them having just kept summoning ghosts trying to find one specific one, and accidentally summoning an evil spirit. The antagonist makes sense, the ghosts are front and center to the story, including just the shear number, the effects are nice, there's lots of visual easter eggs for fans and cameos, and death and the afterlife are prominent in the story while still being relatively inclusive and kid friendly (though some of the jokes are darker, I wouldn't say they were inappropriate. There is a lot of reference to murder though. Surprisingly no hanging bodies like the first though!). It falters a little here and there,including one part of the climax being a little eh for me, but I won't spoil it and it's still better than the 2003 one. I will say I wish they did more with the camera idea because I'm a sucker for Fatal Frame type scenarios and it felt like they dropped it too soon. Oh, but they made Madame Leota a Russian medium/spiritualist who catered to royalty and dressed like a noble rather than using "g*psy" a whole bunch and playing into that stereotype, so that was nice. Every blah moment is balanced with something I really like, so it's all pretty good.

I had no idea Jared Leto was playing the Hatbox Ghost, but you never actually see Leto himself so...eh. Not my first choice, but he does a good job with the voice, I will give him that...begrudgingly. Just hope he didn't do any method acting for this one.

Basically I think it's worth the watch if you want some family friendly ghost stuff and a popcorn flick with a decent amount of heart too it. Could it have been better? Well yeah, but so can most things. Maybe I'll do something more detailed another day but if you like Disney and like the haunted mansion ride, I don't think you'd be disappointed with this one.

I have a great deal of problems with the 2003 movie (mainly that they sacrificed a neat story for mainly slapstick and screaming. AND THE CANONICALIZATION OF LITERAL HELL-) but one thing burned into my memory that will never not be funny is just the kinds screaming “GHOST BALL!” The entire movie. Rip Elizabeth, that was really funny im sorry girl.

I think it’s also spectacularly funny as a orb is a ligitimate form of supernatural phenomenon but to just have a little boy scream “BALLLL!” At it 💀

[positively--speculative]

Haunted Mansion (2003) is one of those movies that is clearly leaning toward that "forbidden interracial love" angle but is too afraid to actually say it. But if you're Black, biracial, or in an interracial relationship, you know.

#Haunted Mansion 2003 #Racism #It's one of the reasons I defend this movie #Even though I wish they would just SAY IT #It was one of the first times I saw a Black woman in an interracial relationship being LONGED for #Black women were so rarely put in the position of being “the girl” in this type of movie
