The Muppets Visit The Famed Haunted Mansion in New Disney+ Halloween Special – Watch the Trailer

The Muppets are coming together once again for their first-ever Halloween special — Muppets Haunted Mansion — and the trailer is giving us the chills!

The trailer shows the Great Gonzo and his buddy, Pepe the King Prawn entering the haunted house on a sinister, misty evening. The two are surprised by Will Arnett playing a ghost host with eery talking paintings greeting them, and one fabulous Miss Piggy serving Madame Leota vibes in her crystal ball. Seems like characters are welcoming their guests from beyond the grave…

DISNEY+

According to the streaming giant, Muppets Haunted Mansion will follow the Great Gonzo – a world famous daredevil artiste, has done it all, seen it all, and survived it all — but on Halloween night, the fearless Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth…The Haunted Mansion. Disney+ has also confirmed that fan favorites like Kermit the Frog, Scooter, Fozzie Bear, Beaker and more are expected to star in the special.

Human leads are tapped to play major roles in the film special alongside your favorite Muppets. Yvette Nicole Brown will play the hearse driver, steering the muppets in all sorts of directions. Darren Criss is the caretaker, avid watcher of the grounds where the mansion lies; and Taraji P. Henson will be the wickedly wedded bride, most likely spooking the muppets throughout.

Other familiar faces making brief cameos include Chrissy Metz (as Harriet), Alfonso Ribeiro (as Fred), Edward Asner (as Claude), Jeannie Mai (as Maude), Danny Trejo (as Huet), Sasheer Zamata (as Mary), Craig Robinson (as Bust), Skai Jackson (as Bust), Pat Sajak (as Bust), Geoff Keighley (as Bust), Justina Machado (as Bust), John Stamos (as Himself) and Kim Irvine (as Haunted Mansion Maid)

In addition to a star-studded cast, fans can expect to see the Muppets do what they do best — perform — as three original songs titled “Rest In Peace,” “Life Hereafter” and “Tie The Knot Tango” will be featured in the film.

A first for The Muppets Studio, Muppets Haunted Mansion is inspired by the Mouse House’s attractions at various Disneyland and Disney World parks across the globe. The franchise first become a well-know staple for Disney after the 2003 film, The Haunted Mansion was released, which starred Eddie Murphy. Fans can expect to see tons of Easter eggs, props and sets to immerse themselves into the story while paying homage to a movie that started it all.

Muppets Haunted Mansion is available for streaming on Disney+ beginning October 8th. Let us know if you’re excited for it by either leaving a reaction at the bottom of the post or by sending us a tweet at @celebsecrets.
