Theory: Jared Leto actually died and became a ghost to really get into character
-
I like how the faces on your shirts are facing each other
-
I so can’t wait for Joseph’s hair list at the end of the year😂😂😂😂

It does have a lot of fun nods to the theme park ride, which has a surprising amount of lore. Leota, Gracey, The Bride, and The Hatbox Ghost (Crump) are all original characters from the ride, created in the 70s. Most of the gags and set designs are from the ride too like the dueling ghosts, the infinity hallways, the busts, the punny headstones, stretching room with false ceiling, ghosts following you home, the 999 spirits, the incantation at the end, etc… all from the ride.

Grey Gardens 😂 please never change. I'll probably catch this streaming eventually on a really boring rainy weekend. This is basically the Temu version of Casper meets Crimson Peak.

lol @ "her wig is a hair hat"
-
Not that big of a diff but i think Lakeiths character makes the lens to relate to/bond over his wifes work as a ghost tour guide (he presents it to her before she dies). he doesn’t believe in ghosts after she dies which is why the camera is buried in a closet and he gives up on his work. Honestly thought it added decent motivation to him willingly dying because now he knows ghosts are real, and he probably could go see his wife again.
-
If only they had the nerve to actually do a Guillermo del Toro version as originally considered. Dark with elements of comedy. But like you guys said. The kiddies take priority. That's ok. Hope they make some money off it.

Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked this Way Comes were both made by Disney when they had the sense to push the envelope and make new comtent
-
wow... a movie like this has no business being over 95 minutes lol
-
I can’t WAIT for the final worst hair of 2023 list because I think there’s been so many recently!
-
"...sends Jared Leto back to hell..." Where he came from I presume? 😈👻
-
I swear as soon as I saw the trailer and saw Rosario's hair I have been waiting for this review!!!!!
-
I love bad hair talk

Recently saw the movie. Jared Leto's character wasn't the owner of the haunted mansion. A widower name Gracey was the owner. Gracey paid Jamie Lee Curtis's character to have seances in his house for a year in order to contact his dead wife. The seances open a spiritual doorway that allowed Leto's character to enter the mansion. All of the ghost in the mansion are people that Leto's character killed as a ghost in that mansion. Danny DeVito's character confirmed that most of the ghost in that mansion at one point lived in or visited the mansion

I agree on the Michael Jackson part of course..😂 That was a masterpiece video. I talked to some of his dancers about making that video.. It is so funny you are such a fan of miss janet..I mean i travelled around the world during the Velvet Rope tour to see as many concerts as possible and had an amazing time and even met Miss J..So i totally understand your love for her..I have it too.
