In the event of rain, this movie will be shown in the YWCA’s gym, located at 1 Salem Square.
ABOUT THE MOVIE: “Haunted Mansion” (2023) – PG-13; 2 hours 3 minutes
Inspired by the classic theme park attraction, “Haunted Mansion” is about a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters. Featuring an all-star cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto, this is a modern Halloween film for the whole family.
