When will 'We Have a Ghost' release on Netflix? All you need to know about 'heartfelt and goofy' horror movie
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Horror movies with a spine-chilling plot are always an amazing cinematic experience. Movies like the universally acclaimed 'Conjuring' franchise, the compelling 'A Quiet Place' and the recent terror flick 'Skinamarink' are some examples to prove this. While watching an excellent, scary movie with the perfect amount of jumpscares is good, watching a movie with a ghost-ridden house where one can sit and relax and root for the ghost and not worry about throwing out the popcorn while watching the movie is great.
And Netflix is gearing up to release such a family-friendly ghost movie, titled 'We Have a Ghost'. 'We Have a Ghost' is based on the 2017 short story by Geoff Manaugh named 'Ernest'. The movie is directed by Christopher Landon, who is known for his writing on 'Disturbia', 'Freaky' and 'Paranormal Activity'. Starring David Harbour, Anthony Mackie and Jennifer Coolidge, 'We Have a Ghost' deals with a family moving into a new shady house, only to find it haunted by a not-so-harmful ghost.
