haunted mansion subverts and shatters religious expectations, with characters begging for salvation from religious artifacts only to be betrayed. despite all the overt depictions of religion, the film is indisputably secular, with only the characters’ acts and the palpable evil of the mansion as true and definite. that all this cynicism is draped in a story that is all too mundane and commonplace to be of real merit is the film’s greatest conceit. – urltoken

guillermo del toro has obviously achieved something monumental (literally) with the house he built for crimson peak, and it' s hard to argue against its construction once you see it in the film. a flimsy set or a full cgi rendering just wouldn' t offer the same atmosphere as a real mansion, and this haunted house film definitely benefits from having an actual house. now the only question left is: was it actually haunted ?

the latest version of this staple in my library includes long - anticipated information about the mansion' s latest iteration, mystic manor, but sacrifices the chapters relating to the regrettable 2003 film interpretation of the haunted mansion. this book is absolutely essential reading for fans of the venerable disney parks attraction and theme park aficionados, full of history, concept art, and photographs, much of which has never been seen before. highly recommended .
