Disney's ambitious plan to make theatrical release feature films from its classic rides (Country Bears is the first installment, to be followed by Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Carribean) has spawned videogames based on the Haunted Mansion and the Pirates! I may actually have to buy a console system just to play these.

Due in theaters in 2003, TDK's Haunted Mansion will appear on "most videogame platforms" around Halloween (October 31, 2003), while no specific date was announced for Pirates of the Caribbean, the game or the movie.

"We are pleased to be bringing these incredible Disney theme park attractions to life in the world of interactive games," said Vincent Bitetti, chief executive officer, TDK Mediactive. "As we look to 2003 and beyond to be the 'sweet spot' for our industry, 'Haunted Mansion' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' theatrical releases will be incredible events with which to launch the game titles on a worldwide basis."
