Writer/Director Christopher Landon discusses We Have a Ghost

I hope that people can walk away from the film kind of holding their loved ones a little closer.  What really shines through the movie is that you don't know the kinds of turns that your life may take. And you may not know the people you might lose along the way. But also just appreciating the people you do have around you. I think that that's something that the Presleys lose a little bit of sight of at the beginning of the movie. They've all kind of retreated to their corners, even though they all live under the same roof. And by the end of the movie you really get a sense that they're a unit again. So I hope people have a good time, laugh, get really invested in the characters and get a little scared at times. I want them to feel like they’re going on a ride. I want everyone who watches the movie to feel like they’re on a journey, a really big journey.
