THR reports that Disney Television Animation is developing a Disney Channel and Disney XD animated special inspired by the ghoulishly fun popular theme park attraction.

Scott Peterson (“Phineas and Ferb”) will serve as writer, EP, and story editor. Joshua Pruett (“Phineas and Ferb”) is on board as a consulting producer and writer.
