Revisit Disney’s Classic 1929 Mickey Mouse Short THE HAUNTED HOUSE For Halloween
If you’re in the mood for a little vintage Halloween fun, you’ve got to check out the 1929 animated short The Haunted House.
This black-and-white Mickey Mouse cartoon, directed by Walt Disney and animated by the legendary Ub Iwerks, delivers an early slice of spooky fun with a perfect mix of laughs and old-school creepiness.
Whether you're a longtime Disney fan or just love classic horror animation, this short is a must-watch during the Halloween season.
In The Haunted House, Mickey finds himself seeking shelter from a storm and ends up in a gloomy mansion full of ghoulish surprises. From dancing skeletons to eerie organ music and creaky floorboards, it's a beautifully bizarre little tale that packs a lot of personality into just under seven minutes.
It was one of the first Mickey cartoons to really play with darker themes, inspired by the popularity of silent horror films at the time.
The movie even stirred a bit of controversy when it was first released because of its more macabre elements. Nearly a century later, it’s still a fan favorite and a perfect piece of Disney history to revisit every Halloween.
