What Parents Need to Know
About The Haunted Mansion
Parents need to know that there are lots of chases and peril involving ghosts and skeletons. The atmospherics of the crypt scenes might scare younger viewers. A ghost is dragged into a fiery pit while other ghosts dematerialize to ascend into the heavens. Younger children might be scared when the Evers parents, Jim and Sarah, are threatened.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about priorities and how different people in the same family might view an action in a very different light. For example, Jim argues that he is trying to succeed in business so that his kids will have everything they want, whereas his kids argue that they really only want time with their parents. Families might also wish to discuss being scared and how Jim explains overcoming one's fears to his son.

Very cute but language was an issue
Um, language is most definitely an issue. Eddie Murphy said "ass" twice in this movie! NOT what I was expecting my 5 and 8 year olds to hear after reading the reviews. It was very cute and my 8 year olds loved it though there were some very scary images.

perfect for older kids but not for younger
In the beginning of the story the main character played by eddie murphy is a little selfish but with the help of the nice people in the haunted mansion(thats not very many people) he discovers how much his family means to him! I luv the haunted mansion

Fun Family Movie
This movie is good for younger viewers. The movie itself isn't exactly scary until you get into the crypt scene in the graveyard. The zombies are very realistic and might scare young children. Also, the butler gets pulled into Hell (and they do name it as such) in the movie. Something else that might bother kids. Not too scary. Fun, family movie. Eddie Murphy is very, very funny.

GREAT MOVIE
positive messages but a bit scary for a kid.... my sister watched it at age 9 she was frightened and hided in a scene when the zombies came out to chase Eddy... it's a beautifull love family story with a kiss at the end... it may seen spooky but 8 years old can take most of it.. and 11-12 years old can take the spooky part about zombies...

One of the best PG movies ever...
This is a wonderful PG movie. The best thing about the movie is the ghosts and the zombie skeletons.

a fun ghost movie for the entire family
i really enjoyed thsi movie. ive always liked ghost movies but they would always scare me. this one had the same type of plot-line but it wasnt scary enough to give me nightmares or anything like that. i would say to just know your kid...but nayone 8 or older should be able to see this without trouble

Overall - Moderate content
Violence: Moderate - There is a depiction of a man who has committed suicide (he has hanged himself). One of the main characters is nearly choked and thrown out of a high window (he survives). Sex/Nudity: None Horror: Moderate - Themes of suicide, murder and various supernatural elements (including menacing zombies/skeletons) with moderately perilous situations. There is also a theme of arachnophobia which features a confrontation with spiders (this is, however, offset by a positive message about facing fear). Language: Mild - Minor swearwords. Drugs/Alcohol: None. Overall: Moderate themes. It is highly likely that children will be afraid/confused by some of the darker elements of the film, which will probably warrant further explanation. The supernatural elements may also prove frightening.

Unoffensive Comedy
I found this movie to be entertaining, without having to be concerned with foul language, sex, violence and other offensive subject matter. I recommend it from a mother's point of view for their child, not from a movie critic's. I laughed, felt sadness, and saw evidence of love and compromise between adults, which is typical of a loving family relationship. Sweet story line overall, even with the "evil vs good" that is tied into it. I say "thumbs up" for simple entertainment!
