Yes, as in Disney’s Haunted Mansion. Guillermo Del Toro announced this at Comic-con today after the Tron panel. My fellow nerds, don’t fret because his version of the film will NOT have anything to do with Eddie Murphy’s ‘The Haunted Mansion’. HRT reports that Del Toro’s Mansion experience will be filmed in 3D. How long can this 3D hype last, or is it here for good? Anyhow, I’m glad that GDT finally found a project he can start on. As most know, he was stuck working on ‘The Hobbit’ with Peter Jackson, but GDT felt that the wait was too long, and he wanted to move on.

I’m a big fan of Del Toro’s films, including the scary ones like The Orphanage and Devil’s Backbone. He wants to honor Walt Disney’s creations of scary, but fun experiences for families to enjoy. “(Walt) Disney is one of the creators of some of the scariest images in my childhood. People forget that he not only made sweet images but also images of nightmare. We need to honor that side of the legacy.”
