20 New Horror Movies You MUST Watch This Halloween 2023
5. Haunted Mansion
If you're a parent or simply in the market for a horror film without any discernible blood 'n' guts, Disney's new take on Haunted Mansion just might be the ticket you're craving.
While certainly not living up to the full potential of both its cast and director Justin Simien (Dear White People), as a cosy, easy-to-watch bump-in-the-night horror-comedy, it works more than it doesn't, and certainly improves upon 2003's Eddie Murphy-starring take.
Carried by a stellar lead turn from Lakeith Stanfield, this is an unapologetically silly ride that doesn't do much to get under the skin, but is an entertaining enough jaunt while you're watching it.
Given the general dearth of horror content aimed squarely at younger audiences these days, parents could do much worse.
Haunted Mansion is streaming now on Disney+.
