10 More Horror Movies With The Worst Monster Reveal

10. The Hatbox Ghost - The Haunted Mansion

2023's Haunted Mansion was among the biggest flops of the year, which is a major achievement considering the stiff competition. By no means terrible, this spooky remake was pretty bland, thanks to the unambitious plot and cookie-cutter characters.

However, nothing is as generically forgettable as central antagonist Alistair Crump, aka the Hatbox Ghost (Jared Leto). Although there's nothing particularly awful about this sinister spectre's design, it's not much to write home about. Considering The Haunted Mansion is a huge Disney attraction and the Hatbox Ghost is a well-recognised character, fans assumed The House of Mouse could cook up something better than... this.

The Hatbox Ghost from the theme park ride has more personality than this version. Heck, the Hatbox Ghost from The Muppets Haunted Mansion looks better!

Even though this villain seems like a character Leto could really sink his teeth into, the Thirty Seconds to Mars musician was given nothing to work with. As such, viewers have to wonder why Leto was cast in the first place, if the Oscar-winning actor's performance was going to be covered up with unconvincing CGI.
