Marvel Comics announced "Illuminati" scribe Joshua Williamson and "John Flood" artist Jorge Coelho as the creative team for their "Haunted Mansion" series, which follows the 999 ghosts that inhabit the mansion's ancient halls and will hit shelves this March (via Entertainment Weekly).

"One thing that Marvel and I have talked about a little bit is making sure there's really a horror aspect," Williamson shared. "There are silly parts of the attraction, but we wanted to make sure there was horror there, which is not something I've done a lot with my other books."

"The 'Haunted Mansion' will be a story, plus a setting for the story we want to tell - but that will be a big part of it, the idea of this place being a retirement community for these 999 happy haunts," he explained.

"I get notes from the Imagineers, and those have been really supportive and great and talking to me about what they want and what they don't want, because it's the same thing: I'm a fan and they're fans, too," he added.

"If you're a fan of the Haunted Mansion, you're going to enjoy this," he concluded. "This is an important thing to me. There are running themes throughout the whole series that we're going to be doing, but I think when people read all five issues, I want them to have that same feeling they have when they get off the ride. If I can accomplish that, then I really feel like I've done something with it. Whether you're a Marvel fan, a Haunted Mansion fan, a Disney fan, or even a comics fan, if you can get that feeling -- that rush of fear and happiness -- I think that would be great."

Based on the attraction of the same name at Disneyland, "Haunted Mansion" joins other Disney Parks & Resorts properties that are making the jump to comics through Marvel's Disney Kingdoms imprint.

A result of Disney's purchase of Marvel back in 2009, the Disney Kingdoms imprint started with "Seekers of the Weird" by Brandon Seifert and Karl Moline, and was followed by Jim Zub and Philipe Andrade's "Figment" series -- which got a sequel this year -- along with a "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad" adaptation from Dennis Hopeless and Tigh Walker.

"Haunted Mansion" #1 will be available at retailers in March.
