"Muppets Haunted Mansion" Special Coming to Disney+ This Fall

Is this spooky mash-up actually happening… or is it your imagination? We didn’t mean to excite you prematurely, but Disney has just announced that a new special Muppets Haunted Mansion is coming to Disney+ this fall.

As part of their Halfway to Halloween celebration, today, Disney revealed that an all-new special starring the Muppets titled Muppets Haunted Mansion will debut later this year.
While we can assume the classic attraction will be involved, that’s about all we know for now.
However, if this hilarious teaser starring Pepe the King Prawn and Gonzo is any indication, the special will be a fun and chilling ride:

The announcement came as part of another Muppet-Disney Parks mash-up where fans can explore and learn about various creepy attractions around the world in a “choose your own adventure”-style video series hosted by Uncle Deadly.
Starting with the intro video below, viewers can then select which attraction they’d like to take a closer look at: the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort, Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disney Resort, or Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris.
In each case, fans will learn more about the story, effects, and other magic featured in these iconic rides.

Incidentally, with the Muppets being a part of Walt Disney Imagineering, it makes sense to see a greater “synergy” between the troupe and the Parks.

Meanwhile, for more Muppets fun, you can also check out Laughing Place’s latest podcast, Two Ps, One T.
