Here’s Everything We Know About The New ‘Haunted Mansion’ Movie
The Disneyland attraction the Haunted Mansion, has long been a favorite. Back in 2003, the ride got a film adaptation, The Haunted Mansion. Now a new adaptation, currently filming, simply titled Haunted Mansion, is on its way. We’ve got a few details surrounding the movie including its released date! “Dear White People’s” Justin Simien is directing from the script penned by Katie Dippold, whose previous projects include The Heat, Spy, and 2016’s female-driven Ghostbusters reboot (try not to hold that against her). As for the cast, comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), stars along with Lakeith Stanfield (Sorry to Bother You), Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), and Rosario Dawson (Rent). Haddish will reportedly be playing “ a psychic hired to commune with the dead.” Stanfield plays “a widower who once believed in the supernatural, but is now a rather lifeless tour guide in New Orleans’s French Quarter.” Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich’s Rideback will be producing.

Why Do We Enjoy Tension And Horror In Video Games?
It’s no secret that we enjoy being scared. In fiction and films, horror represents one of the strongest and most enduring genres. But the appeal of fear and horror in games might seem a bit harder to understand. Games are about competition and trying to win. By that understanding, being frightened might seem like an unnecessary distraction.

When you achieve something or win, you get an ecstatic sense of release, a “buzz” that keeps you coming back for more. This underlying similarity is why games and horror are a natural match.
