Ok, well the production design has you excited. But then you hear that the film will star Eddie Murphy as a workaholic that visits a haunted house with his family during a job interview and meets a ghost that teaches him a lesson about the importance of the family that he has neglected.

THAT FUCKING BLOWS AND DRAGS TEETH!

That has got NOTHING - ZIP - ZERO - NADA - ZILCH to do with the original attraction. Create a legend about this cursed house - It's a house that was cursed in ancient days long ago. All those that enter will fall prey to the curse - killing and maiming one another brought on by the curse. Their spirits will remain trapped in the house throughout all eternity until, until there are one thousand spirits - then the whole hosts of ghosts will simply fall into a void of nothingness and the house will begin again collecting souls. The film begins with 999 Ghosts - room for one more. The ghosts know the curse and try to keep any living beings from being killed so that they can all exist in at least this form. They love being ghosts, holding balls with ghastly ghoul music and they've become accustomed to their afterlife. When a team of parapsychology students and their professor come to spend a weekend studying the 'alleged' spectral activity - they come under the care and scare of the ghosts that wish to frighten them away and keep them from dying, but while the living can see, they can not hear them... Personally - that kinda stays in keeping with the original ride - and at least to my way of thinking, keeps the playful spirit alive... I don't know... Rob Minkoff has done a decent job with the STUART LITTLE movies, but this needs more soul than those films and needs to be more than just a stupid ghost comedy. What do you folks think?
