As a side note, evidently Disney wasn't satisfied with the original Haunted Mansion film and is now in preliminary production with Guellermo del Toro in producing a new version of the film, which won't be set as a comedy, but a live-action 3D film. del Toro is currently writing the script and says it will be a scary, horror film - not G rated. I think it is a positive sign that Disney recognizes the film potential of some of its most beloved attractions and is willing to take a gamble, plus if it's successful will undoubtedly create a renewed buzz in those attractions to a whole new generation.

Apparently Guillermo del Toro is a HUGE Haunted Mansion fan, he even has a room in his house dedicated to it. I'm anxious to see his take on it since he is such a true fan!
