Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
The official trailer for the Muppets’ very first Halloween-themed special just dropped, and we can’t wait to see the Muppets, the cameos and the 999 happy haunts–all rolled into one!
Take a look!
Gonzo the Great, who’s never turned down a challenge, and his sidekick, Pepe the Shrimp. . . oops, we mean Pepe the King Prawn, must face a challenge of a completely different kind.
How hard could it be?
All they have to do is spend one night in the Haunted Mansion. Will he be able to stay all night long, or will the grim grinning ghosts get the best of him?
Starring alongside the Muppets gang in the all-new special are some of Hollywood’s most popular celebrities. Will Arnett plays the Ghost Host, and Yvette Nicole Brown is the Hearse Driver. Darren Criss plays the role of the Caretaker, and Taraji P. Henson is the Bride. (You know, the creepy one. In the attic. With the hatchet.)
As with all Muppets films, there will be a plethora of celebrity cameos, including the late Ed Asner, Wheel of Fortune‘s very own Pat Sajak, John Stamos, and even a very special appearance by Disney Imagineer Kim Irvine, whose mother, Leota Toombs’s likeness resides in the crystal ball inside the Haunted Mansion attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
The Muppets have a long history of silliness, hijinks, shenanigans and tomfoolery that are really cheesy and super corny, but somehow keep us coming back for more.
Muppets Haunted Mansion promises to deliver more of the same, with a spooky storyline and tainted twists inspired by the Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney Parks. We see hints and nods to the famed attraction in the new trailer: the Portrait Chamber, aka the “Stretching Room,” Madame “Pigota” in the crystal ball where Leota usually resides, the Ballroom scene and more.
You can stream the new special on Disney+, beginning October 8, if you dare!
