The Haunted Mansion (2003) - Edward/Elizabeth/Sara

I had a thought or an alternative to The Haunted Mansion 2003 movie.

What if instead of making Sara Elizabeth's doppelganger, they made her a descendant of Edward and Elizabeth.

Edward and Elizabeth could have gotten married in secret. The two servants, Ezra and Emma, are happy for them but Ramsley is still opposed to their union. Elizabeth becomes pregnant. Ramsley tells her that the child and their union would never be accepted by society, thinly veiling a threat against her and her child. Elizabeth leaves in secret with the help of Emma and Ezra but she leaves a letter for Edward. Edward discovers she's gone but is unaware of her pregnancy. He takes his own life or dies from heartbreak, thus beginning the curse that plagues Gracey Manor. It would only be broken when Elizabeth returns.

Elizabeth gives birth to her child who has children and grandchildren which leads to Sara being born. Sara grows up and marries Jim and they have Megan and Michael. Sara is called back to Gracey Manor when their real estate flyer gets noticed by the ghosts. They go to the mansion and go through their ordeal. Everyone finds out that she is not Elizabeth but Elizabeth's and Edward's descendant (which would explain the resemblance). Elizabeth, in her spirit ball form, comes back to Gracey Manor to aid her family and reunite with Edward at last. Edward gives the Evers the deed to the house as they are his heirs. Edward, Elizabeth and the rest of the souls go in peace to Heaven.

I saw this movie 20 years ago and it's still one of my favorites. I just thought of this scenario this morning as pretty much all the answers to the problem were in the house for over a century (Elizabeth as a ghost ball, the hidden letter, her would've-been wedding dress, etc.). Also, one of my other favorites is The Haunting 1999 movie (it's a bad-good film) and something similar happens in that adaption.

The scenario could also work because of the library scene between Edward and Sara when she asks him why he would sell it as the house was in his family for generations (not knowing he was a ghost).

And while I loved Marsha Thomason in this, she was too young to be playing wife and mother to Eddie Murphy and his children. She was 25 to 26 when they filmed the movie and 27 when it was released. He was in his early fourties. I was 13 when I saw this movie. 20 years later, I'm like

The wonderful world of acting.
