In the movie "Haunted Mansion," Alyssa is Bens wife who dies in a car accident. The movie starts with Ben meeting Alyssa, who provides ghost tours around the area, and they fall in love and get married. Years later, Ben is alone and drinking, and Alyssa is implied to be dead. Ben continues her ghost tours after giving up his job and acts rudely to the guests when they ask questions about ghosts. The plot of the movie revolves around Gabbie and Travis inheriting the haunted Gracey Mansion, home to nearly 1000 ghosts, and seeking help from Ben and other experts to try and find out what the ghosts want. The movie deals with themes of grief and how people live on in memory, which is fitting for a movie about ghosts. The ending of the movie sees Ben finally receiving a message from Alyssa via a dogs collar, which reads “Tater Tot,” and he starts seeing Gabbie.
