Rick and Morty writer bringing 'chaos energy' for Netflix show fans can't wait to fall in love with
Fans are already looing forward to binge watching the enture series One of the writers from hit show Rick and Morty is bringing 'chaos energy' to Netflix in a new animated series fans already can't wait to fall in love with. Haunted Hotel is set to be streaming from September 19. Audiences are already anticipating spooky season beginning early as a result. According to the synopsis released by the streaming giant, the series will follow a single mother of two who struggles to run a haunted hotel. All she has to help her is estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts haunting the establishment and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas. As seen in the trailer, not only does she juggle a son, daughter and a host of ghosts, there's also a demon trapped inside the body of a boy from the 1700s. There are also various types of spirits, ghosts and devil like creatures. One even sounds just like the voice of Seth Rogen. Meanwhile, the main voice cast for Haunted Hotel includes Saturday Night Live alum and The Four Seasons star Will Forte. He's joined by Scrubs' Eliza Coupe, one of the stars of new Superman movie Skyler Gisondo, comedian Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson who many will recognise from Westworld and as one of the McPoyle brothers in It's Always Sunny in Philadelpihia. Haunted Hotel is created by Matt Roller, who has previously written for shows including Rick and Morty, Community and Archer. He has also worked on sitcoms Mr. Mayor and The Goldbergs. Celebrating the series order at Netflix, he said: "I'm thrilled to be working with Netflix and an amazingly talented cast and crew to bring to life the stories of the dead, the evil, and the struggling hospitality workers at the Undervale Hotel,' Fans are already looking forward to the new show. While it is not yet confirmed how many episodes will consist of its debut season, it's already looking like a must binge title. One person, replying to the trailer on social media, commented: "Rick and Morty's chaotic energy but make it haunted? Yeah… I'm checking in!" Another added: "t's giving me Scooby doo vibe!" Sharing a similar sentiment one person posted: "Rick and Morty meets Scooby-Doo energy, but way more unhinged." While one person, seemingly excited for Halloween already said: "Spooky comedy just what we need to ease into fall. Will Forte + Rick and Morty creators = yes please" There were some who spoke with a word of caution. It comes after a year of even more cancellations confirmed at the streamer during 2025. That included many that were only given one season despite reaching millions of views. Shows such as The Residence, Pulse and Territory all came to a premature end. Fans are already fearful Haunted Hotel will be added to the list. One person posted: "I can't wait to fall in love with this show, only to be heartbroken when Netflix inevitably cancels it." Another agreed: "Can't wait to love this show then feel depressed when it's cancelled on a depressing cliffhanger."

7 spook-tastic haunted attractions in Dubai for all the chills and thrills
We'll be honest — we're absolutely not built for jump scares. But for those fearless thrill-seekers who laugh in the face of haunted halls and creepy encounters… how do you do it? If that's you, there are plenty of spine-tingling attractions in Dubai ready to test your nerves this summer. From eerie walkthroughs and immersive set-ups to live actors lurking in the shadows, these terrifying spots promise heart-pounding fun for the brave. Hysteria We would like to preface this by saying that after visiting this attraction you may end up peeking behind the shower curtain every time you enter the washroom in deep paranoia – don't come at us. Hysteria, located in Dubai Mall, is certainly not for the faint-hearted, but if you're up to the scares, it's good fun. It's priced at Dhs105 per person, and visitors under 16 are recommended not to enter. Book here. Insidious Escape Room This one is inspired by the wildly popular movie franchise and looks just as scary. You get 60 minutes inside the room to decipher the clues, solve the puzzles and get out. It's a great activity to do if you've got a bunch of horror-loving friends in tow. The attraction is only open to participants over the age of 15 and you'll need a minimum of two people to play the game. Book here. The Haunted Hotel The Haunted Hotel inside IMG Worlds of Adventure has been touted by many as insanely spooky and, to be frank, the description of what you can expect makes us want to get into bed and hide under the blanket (the ultimate protection from all things evil). The landscape of the hotel changes constantly as you try to find your way out through the maze of corridors, of course engaging in meet-cutes (sorry) with the spooky characters throughout. It's open to visitors aged 15 and above only. Make sure to carry your Emirates ID if you're below 18. Book here. Deep Dark Dubai If you can somehow function at full brain capacity while you're being chased with a machete, then this one's for you. The escape rooms of Deep Dark Dubai are housed in a villa and follow two themes – Paranormal and The Sinner. You and your gang must put your heads together and try to get out in 60 minutes. The rooms also feature live actors to keep you on your toes the whole time. Exciting or stressful? You decide. Book here. Haunted Activity Haunted Activity, the newest spooky story on the block opened its doors in January this year. There are two rooms you can explore in this game – Ouija and Jason's Home, with two more called Cemetery and The School, coming soon. You'll need a team of two to 10 brave friends to have a go at getting out in, wait for it…60 minutes. Fun. Book here. Horror Cinema Not one for the faint-hearted. At Dubai's first horror cinema, you will watch some of the best horror movies in cinema history, but.. you won't be alone. And no, we aren't talking about your seven mates sitting next to you in the cinema. Professional actors will pop up at the film's tensest moments, so hiding behind your hands won't save you. The cinema also features high-tech special effects, splashes, flashes and realistic sounds and your movie will of course be in full HD resolution. Prices start from Dhs180. At the moment, the cinema is screening The Ring , Insidious, Insidious 2 and Insidious: Chapter 3. Book here. BlackOut Escape Rooms Count us out of this one. The BlackOut Escape Rooms feature four different themed games to play, inspired by exorcisms, mental hospitals and Saw-esque torture techniques – all generally terrible things one tries to avoid. Every game has a different level of difficulty, but they all share elements like live actors, flashing lights and a lot of scares. Pull up your socks, put on your big boy pants and gather a crowd – safety in numbers, as they say. @blackoutbycave Images: Supplied/ Social Media > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
