Premise

The series follows the story of a group of employees (Barney and Norma) who work at a theme-park haunted house during the summer which might be a portal to hell.[8][9] Both are joined by Pugsley and Courtney as they face zombies, game show hosts, witches, and crushes.[10]

Characters and voice cast

Production, development, and release

On 17 August 2020, Steele explained how the show changed from its original iteration on Cartoon Hangover in 2014, and the graphic novels that followed it,[17] stating that he is grateful for showrunners who fought for LGBTQ characters in their shows, adding that there was "absolutely no pushback from Netflix about representation," while describing Barney as a trans male character.[18] He also hoped that the show will help out "more trans creators getting their chance to tell their stories" while hinting at other LGBTQ characters in the show apart from Barney. In another interview, he was thankful to Netflix executives for letting them have diversity in the show while pushing for it, and pushing him to "tell the story I want to tell."[19] Additionally, he stated that all the scripts are reviewed by GLAAD and said he couldn't wait for people to know Barney. Althea Aseoche and Krystal Georgiou are storyboarders while Ash Jiangwu is a story revisionist and Furquan Akhtar, Elijah W Harris, and Jen Bardekoff are writers for the show.[8] Apart from these individuals, Jen Rudin was a casting executive for the show.[20]
