Haunted Mansion, The

The Haunted Mansion plays like a contest between Eddie Murphy’s popping eyes and his gaping mouth: Which one can more forcefully convey fright? Based on a Disney theme-park attraction, this features enough touches from the ride itself that it often feels like you’re visiting the theme park with Murphy in tow. Although in real life he’d probably come up with better lines.
