We got a look at Jamie Lee Curtis as Madame Leota in Haunted Mansion, and director Justin Simien says she is a 'useful ally.' HauntedMansion Disney
"She starts off as one of the relics, one of the items, one of the aspects of the house that has to be discovered, but becomes a functional character and a useful ally in the film," Simien explains of Leota.

One of the things that makes the haunted mansion ride so endearing is that it feels like two rides smashed together, and that's because it is. No one could decide if they wanted something legitimately dark and scary, like the first half of the ride, or something more lighthearted and fun, like the second half, so they went with both.
"You know there's a trick being played on you, but you're not sure how they did it. The Pepper's Ghost effect [during the ride's finale], it's so old school, you know it's not a screen, but it's it's so old school that it feels like it's really there," Simien says of the feeling he hopes his movie captures."There's a practicality to the tricks on the ride that I felt was important.
