Spooky Family Movie: Haunted Mansion(2023)
In this frighteningly fun adventure inspired by the classic theme parks attraction, a doctor and her nine-year-old son, looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters, including a priest, a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert, a French Quarter psychic, and a crotchety professor. Running Time: 2 hours. Rated PG13 for some thematic elements and scary action. Recommended ages 11 and up, but all are welcome! Bring pillows and blankets for extra coziness! Popcorn will be served.
