Haunted Mansion Movie Night Recipes

If you’re looking for a reason to settle in for a Disney Movie Night, and need some cozy, but spooky recipes, you’re in the right place! As lovers of all things Haunted Mansion, we were inspired by the Haunted Mansion Movies, and every Disney Mansion you can find at each park. In this post we’re sharing recipes, and where you can see each Haunted Mansion movie ( because there are several) to get your Halloween season started.

Disney’s Haunted Mansion Movie

As things go, Disney has a few Haunted Mansion Movies to watch during the spooky season. And if you’ve seen our Disney Halloween Movies List or Disney Channel Halloween Specials, you know that we keep track of all of them! So, if you’re looking for a movie about the Haunted Mansion, here are your choices.

• Haunted Mansion (2003) Eddie Murphy, Terrence Stamp, Nathaniel Parker, Marsha Thomason, Jennifer Tilly
• Haunted Mansion (2023) LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish
• Muppet’s Haunted Mansion (2021)

Where Can You Watch Disney’s Haunted Mansion on Streaming?

If you’re looking for the newest Disney Haunted Mansion Movie, you can stream Haunted Mansion on Disney Plus+. Featuring LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, and Owen Wilson this one creates a whole new story around the lore of the Haunted Mansion and the ghosts you may find there. On the other hand, if you’ve canceled Disney Plus, you can still grab Haunted Mansion on Blu-Ray  on Amazon and everywhere else.  

Where Can You Watch the Original Haunted Mansion Movie?

If you’re looking for the Haunted Mansion Movie with Eddie Murphy then you’ve got more options. This is one of our Favorite Halloween Movies and the reason we wrote this post to begin with! You can watch Haunted Mansion on Disney Plus+, rent or purchase a digital copy on Amazon Prime, or buy the Haunted Mansion DVD. 

Where Can You Watch Muppets Haunted Mansion?

By far the most elusive, this 2021 film is more difficult to find, as you can only watch Muppets Haunted Mansion on Disney Plus+ at the moment. We do hope this changes, as it’s such a wonderful film, and deserves more exposure to be sure! Featuring Gonzo and Pepe the Prawn, this story follows our favorite muppets as they head to the Haunted Mansion to face their worst fears. Spooky! Check out our Muppets Haunted Mansion Matinee post for trivia, and recipes.

Disney’s Haunted Mansion Recipes

We recently sailed on the Halloween on the High Seas cruise with Disney Cruise Line so we were feeling a bit inspired for all things Halloween. We had seen meringue ghosts at Cove Café and just knew we wanted to incorporate those into some type of treat. Haunted Mansion was playing on Funnel Vision by the pool during our Halloween cruise which was probably also to blame. As a result, we were itching to get back to creating all types of fun treats for the Halloween season. So, here you’ll find recipes for Halloween cup o’ dirt, a color changing limeade drink, our favorite pumpkin mocha, and coffin pizzas!

Graveyard Chocolates for Halloween

What kind of graveyard would this be without graves? We chose white and blue melting chocolates for these and added a small amount of black food coloring to the white to give it a slightly gray, marble-stone look. When you’re pouring the melted chocolate, don’t worry about it being too perfect. We actually loved the look of the gravestones being very imperfect and thought it gave an aged, slightly spooky look. You can grab Grave Stone Molds from amazon or any local craft store during the season.

Madame Leota’s Sparkling Limeade

Madame Leota is one of our favorite characters in Haunted Mansion, so we knew we had to create a treat dedicated just to her. And what better way to create a spooky Halloween drink than with a bit of slightly mad science?! And that’s where Butterfly Pea Flower comes into this equation. 

Butterfly Pea Flower Tea has a unique chemical in it, that, when mixed with acids like lime or lemon, changes from a beautiful blue to purple! It’s such a fun thing to watch, and due to the difference in liquid densities, it will often separate and stay floating at the top of the glass.

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. lime juice, we fresh-squeezed ours, but the stuff from the bottle is just as good
• Sparkling Water
• 2 quarts water
• 1/2 c. + 1 TBSP sugar 
• 1.5 tsp Butterfly Pea Flower
• 1 c. Boiling Water to brew Butterfly Pea Flower
• Cotton Candy
• Green food coloring, if desired

Instructions

1. Boil 1 c. water and steep butterfly pea flower for 5 mins
2. Once brewed, set aside to chill;In 2 quart pitcher, combine lime juice, sugar and water. Stir.
3. Fill glass with ice; pour limeade over ice.
4. Slowly pour small amount of Butterfly Pea Flower tea in limeade glass
5. Add cotton candy and voila!
6. For an extra kick, add sparkling water to limeade before adding the tea

Spooky Coffin Halloween Pizza Pies 

Who doesn’t love pizza for movie night?! Pizza is pretty much our go-to “fun” food and since we don’t really ever eat out except at Disney, we always love coming up with new recipes to try at home. This is a bit different take on a traditional pizza in that is uses pie crust, but we thought these were delicious and the perfect savory addition to our Haunted Mansion movie night.

The fun thing about these is that you can come up with whatever spooky shape your heart desires. We chose coffins because we had small dishes shaped like coffins. Plus it reminded us of the Mausoleum scene in the movie, so it was perfect for our little handheld pizzas. You could also create mummies, gravestones, heck even pumpkins would be just darling. Let your creativity run wild!

Ingredients

• Pillsbury Pie Crust ( in the freezer section)
• Pizza Toppings of your choice We went with a white sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil
• Coffin Shaped baking dish or coffin cookie cutter of your choice

Instructions

1. Defrost your pie crust slightly and roll.
2. Once ready, cut and fit to each coffin mold.
3. Add sauce, pizza toppings, and cheese.
4. Seal on the top with a sheet of the pie crust to lock in all the toppings.
5. Bake as directed on the package.

We used Pillsbury premade, rolled pie crust for our pizza pies, and one crust rolled slightly thinner, was enough for two single-serving pizza pies. However you choose to assemble these, the big thing to remember is that you’ll want to make sure it’s fully sealed so the toppings don’t fall out. If using a cookie cutter, and making them more like hand pies, use a fork to crimp your edges and a tiny bit of water to get a good seal. 

Haunted Mansion Pumpkin Mocha

Pumpkin and Chocolate, who would have thought this would delicious? Complete with loads of cream and a Meringue ghost, we love this drink to sip as a little dessert. To make things easier, we usually just buy sauces for drinks we know we are going to make a lot. Like Pumpkin lattes for example. You can always make your own of course. We have a pumpkin sauce recipe here that we think is pretty good.  Otherwise, here are the things we recommend for this latte:

Ingredients

• 2 shots Espresso 
• 8-10 oz milk of choice
• 1 oz Dark Chocolate or Mocha Sauce
• 2 oz Pumpkin Sauce
• 1/4 c. heavy cream (more if you want more foam)
• 1 Milano Cookie
• Oreo Crumbs
• 1 Meringue Ghost

Instructions

You’ll start by adding your sauces. Pour your espresso over that. Then pour your frothed or steamed milk. Froth together your heavy cream (or nondairy creamer) and pumpkin sauce to top it off. Sprinkle some Oreo cookie crumbles.  Add a meringue ghost and a Milano Cookie on top. We used a food coloring marker to write the words RIP, so you can do this or not. It’s up to you! 

1. Add 1 oz of each mocha and pumpkin sauces to glass
2. Pour 2 shots of espresso over sauces and stir until well mixed
3. Steam 8-10 ounces of milk; pour over espresso
4. Froth together heavy cream and 1 oz pumpkin sauce until frothy and nearly doubled in size
5. Sprinkle Oreo cookie crumbs on top of foam
6. Add Milano Cookie and Meringue Ghost on top
7. Enjoy!
