The Haunted Mansion ride debuted in 1969 and was an immediate success. The premise sees theme park guests go inside a spooky and creepy manor that has a wide array of supernatural frights. It also features a graveyard’s worth of characters, ranging from the spirit of psychic medium Madame Leota to the skeletal Bride to the cloaked Hatbox Ghost.

Meanwhile, Justin Simien wrote and directed the 2014 film ‘Dear White People’, before landing his Netflix series of the same name.
