Haunted Mansion Scares Up An October Release On Disney Plus And Blu-Ray

Announced at Destination D23 –and just in time for the spooky season–Disney’s Haunted Mansion will be headed to Disney+ on October 4, 2023.

This new incarnation stars Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson, Jamie Lee Curtis, LaKeith Stanfield, Jared Leto, Danny DeVito, and Chase Dillon, and is about a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help evict supernatural squatters from their home. For the physical release, Haunted Mansion will be available on 4K Ultra HD and Full-HD Blu-ray starting October 17, with each release containing several extra features.
