The Haunted Mansion is a family comedy that's begging to be picked apart, with an elaborate mythology full of strange implications that child viewers just gloss over while the adults in the room can't stop thinking about them. Here are a few things that only adults notice.
The setup for The Haunted Mansion requires the human characters to get to the titular house as quickly as possible, and the way the Evers family ends up at Gracey Manor is, as a result, quite simple. Jim and Sara Evers are realtors, one of their flyers ends up at the manor, and the ghostly owner has his butler call them to arrange a meeting with Sara, whom he believes is the reincarnation of his lost love.
