Disney is bringing back the classic theme park ride to haunt audiences on the big screen. Following the debut of the film’s first trailer, Disney has officially revealed a brand-new poster forHaunted Mansion, which invites audiences to join the movie’s star-studded cast in the midst of a spooky tale.
The poster itself features the appearance ofRosario Dawson, who stars in the film as Gabbie, a single mother to Travis (Chase Dillon), who is also seen standing alongside her. Illuminating the image isLaKeith Stanfieldas paranormal expert Ben Matthias, who holds a dimly lit lantern up a flight of stairs, followed byOwen Wilsonas Kent, the priest,Tiffany Haddishas Harriet the psychic, andDanny DeVitoas Bruce, a college professor. Though absent from the poster, the trailer also featured first looks atJared Letoas the Hatbox ghost andJamie Lee Curtisas Madame Leota.
Similar to the official trailer, the poster effectively captures each individual personality of the characters, who could all serve as an interesting contrast from one another. Alongside the appearance of the film’s cast, the poster perfectly captures the creepy atmosphere of the classic Disney attraction, with Victorian-era decor entombed in creepy cobwebs and dimly lit settings. With nostalgic imagery bolstered by a cast of talented actors,Haunted Mansioncould be the perfect spooky treat for fans when it haunts its way into theaters this summer.
