But will it have the actual Disney name or be something like Touchstone which people "in the know" know is Disney but the general populace does not?

The production label the announced is Disney Double Dare You (horrible name).

How about Downtown Disney's Disney Double Dare You District of Disney?

Ug, that's an awful name.

I guess my next question is, are these movie going to be "Disney scary" (a la the Haunted Mansion attraction) or genuinely scary (horror film)?

If it says Disney on it, I don't expect it to be scary, by any measure.

The only scary Disney products have "Princesses" or "Fairies" in the title.

Considering I occasionally get email from parents upset that I didn't warn them in my reviews about thing they thing are too scary or intense for children in the movies Disney is already making, I think you'd be surprised.

But if it isn't scary or intense by any measure then del Toro is being wasted. Certainly a possibility.

9 was visually quite a treat.

The ending was thought provoking but as Lani and I discussed it after the fact it seemed to fall apart so now it seems faux though provoking but maybe I missed something.

Unfortunately, much of the 80 minutes is just a sequence of chase set pieces and really rather dull.

Unintentionally watched La Matriarca (The Libertine) a 1968 Italian sex romp comedyish thing. A young window finds the apartment her husband kept for the fun kinky sex you just don't have with your wife and decides she wants some of that too and the rest is an exploration of various kinks and fetishes until she finds her own. Comedically bad dubbing, attractive actress. Not much worth watching.

Definitely not Johnny Depp's The Libertine which is what I'd thought I put on my Netflix queue.

I get the sense that del Toro is not one to give up his own creative vision. Even if it's not horror, he does creepy very well. And I'd be down with something dark and visionary like Haunted Mansion (ride, not movie) even if it wasn't strictly "horror."

Based on your plot description, I just may have to be the judge of that.
