Is there a trailer?
A trailer for Muppets Haunted Mansion is now available on the official Disney Plus YouTube channel .
Beginning with a dark, creepy voice spewing a rhyming horror story, it sets the scene for the harrowing horror you can expect from the film.
However, you are quickly reminded that this is also a humorous, family-friendly film by the muppets humorously interjecting ‘’this is a family show’’. It perfectly paints the picture of the thriller and comedy genre blend you can expect from the film.
