Trivia

In homage: Two of the singing busts were modeled after Thurl Ravenscroft and Paul Frees. Thurl Ravenscroft (Better know as the voice of Tony the Tiger) can be heard singing lead for the song "Grim, Grinning Ghosts" on the Disneyland attraction "The Haunted Mansion" and the late Paul Frees provided the voice of the "Ghost Host" for the same attraction.

Continuity: In the scene where Eddie Murphy is going into the crypt, he takes one of the lit torches. While they are trying to escape the skeletons, the door to the crypt closes and locks. When they show the shot of his son outside, you see two torches again. When he gets the doors open and they leave, you see one.

Continuity: When the family comes into the mansion, they're wet from running in the rain. Eddie Murphy's lapels are sort of rumpled and his wife's hair is wet. By the time they get to the dining room, they're dry and Eddie's suit looks like it's been pressed.

Continuity: When Michael opens the ballerina box, the blue light appears at the side of the mirror. When he backs up, the blue light is right behind him.

Continuity: When Eddie Murphy and his daughter are trapped inside the mausoleum, they are knocking on the door to get Michael to open it. From outside you can see the door is closed, from inside you can see the door is slightly opened.

Continuity: When Sara meets Master Gracey in the library after dinner, he startles her and she trips over some book. She picks two or three books up and has the book bindings in her right hand. The shot changes and instantly, the books have turned 180 degrees so that the bindings are in her left hand as she hands them off to Gracey.

Continuity: In the scene where Michael sees the ghost ball for the first time, he screams and Megan comes in. Because of the shock, she drops her cellphone on the floor and we can see where it fell. In the next shot you see the cellphone, not on the same place Megan dropped it. Megan or Michael couldn't have touched it because they where shocked by the ghost ball and were looking at it all the time.

Other: This mistake happens in the scene introducing the four singing heads on the Australian release DVD. They start singing when Jim and the kids turn the corner. According to the subtitles, they sing "When the cryptos creak and the tombstones quake, spooks come out for a swinging wake..." The subtitles are supposed to read 'crypt doors', not the incomprehensible 'cryptos'.

Continuity: In the scene where Jim is about to go in to the mausoleum, after Jim tells Meg to take care of her brother, Michel's shirt/collar changes from closed to open in several shots.

Deliberate "mistake": When Leota is in the front seat of the automobile, the air bag is still full. Air bags will deploy and then immediately deflate to prevent people (or women in crystal balls) from being trapped.

Continuity: In the scene where Eddie Murphy sees himself dead in the mirror, all of a sudden he isn't holding the candle, but when it shows a wider shot he's holding it again.
