October 29, 2026… #movieoftheday is The Haunted House (full movie) (1929).
“ The Haunted House , also known as Haunted House , is a 1929 American animated comedy horror short film directed by Jack King . It is the fourteenth film of the Mickey Mouse series and the first film to be directed by King who would become a prominent director in the company… It follows Mickey Mouse who is trapped in a haunted house and forced to play music. It was directed by Walt Disney who also provided the voice of Mickey; Ub Iwerks was the primary animator and Carl Stalling wrote the original music. It was released on December 2, 1929, by Celebrity Productions. Columbia Pictures reissued the film after Walt Disney Productions switched distributors.
“The Haunted House borrows animation from Disney's first Silly Symphony cartoon, The Skeleton Dance , which was released earlier in 1929, although most of the sequence is new. The Haunted House was Mickey's first cartoon with a horror theme and led the way to later films such as The Gorilla Mystery (1930) and The Mad Doctor (1933). Disney had some trouble with the state censors over this cartoon because of the gags involving a chamber pot and an outhouse.
“As a published work from 1929, The Haunted House entered the U.S. public domain on January 1, 2025.” - more at Wikipedia
