There's already a perfect Haunted Mansion sequel story waiting to be adapted

Phantom Manor and the Haunted Mansion movie

When you step inside the looming double doors of Disneyland Paris's Phantom Manor, you're greeted by a portrait of a beautiful young woman in a wedding dress, accompanied by a rather severe looking gentleman in a top hat. The painting is in pride of place, overlooking the decaying foyer. 

Enter the next room, and you'll see this mysterious woman again in a quartet of portraits that line the space; this time with four different men. Keep watching, and you'll discover that each of these men meet grisly, terrible fates – meanwhile, the young lady vanishes entirely. You see a painting of her again in the next corridor, once again in her lavish wedding dress, but it's not until you turn the corner that you finally see her in earnest. There she stands by a large window as a storm rages outside, all on her lonesome.
