Haunted Mansion(2023)

Submitted by Jeremy

Mother and son Gabbie and Travis (Rosario Dawson and Chase W. Dillon) inherit the haunted Gracey Mansion, home to nearly 1000 ghosts. They seek help from retired astrophysicist Ben Matthias (Lakeith Stanfield), who is still grieving the loss of his wife Alyssa, along with a priest named Father (Owen Wilson), a medium named Harriet, and a professor/paranormal expert named Bruce (Danny DeVito) to try and find out what the ghosts want.

The mansion is haunted by Alistair Crump/The Hatbox Ghost, a former tycoon who killed those in high society out of revenge for them and his father turning their backs on him when he was young. After Crump’s death, he vowed revenge and now needs the thousandth soul to reach full power and leave the mansion. Madame Leota tells them of a banishment spell using an item that belonged to Crump in life to try and stop him.

After finding Crump’s hat, Kent gets the ghosts to turn on Crump while Harriet teams up with Leota to perform the spell. While Crump tries to convince Ben to help him so he can see Alyssa again, Ben kicks Crump into his grave where he is pulled back to Hell for good.

Ben is able to move on from Alyssa’s death and remains close with his new friends, while the ghosts decide to stay at the mansion now that they are on good terms with Gabbie and Travis.
