The Haunted Mansion – Academy Museum Family Matinee

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures keeps the spooky season going with a Family Matinees screening of The Haunted Mansion, the 2003 Disney comedy inspired by the classic Disneyland ride. Eddie Murphy plays a busy real estate agent who drags his family to a creepy old estate, only to discover the house comes with a crowd of restless ghosts and a mystery that needs solving. The film is rated PG and runs about 88 minutes, which makes it a manageable outing for kids who like a few shivers mixed in with plenty of laughs.

Families watch the movie on a big digital screen inside the museum's Ted Mann Theater on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, a comfy setting that feels far more special than movie night on the couch. Kids who have ridden the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland will love spotting familiar touches like the floating crystal ball, the singing busts and the shadowy hallways. Younger viewers who are sensitive to spooky scenes may want a parent's hand to hold, but the tone stays silly far more often than scary.

At just $5 a ticket, this family-friendly matinee is one of the most budget-friendly ways to introduce kids to a real cinema museum. Your family can make a day of it by exploring the museum's exhibitions before or after the show, though gallery admission is separate from the screening ticket. Family Matinees tend to be popular, so it is smart to reserve seats ahead of time.
