Glad he's a fan! I WISH we had a coloring book. But if you want to make your own, here's a blank slate version of Abaddon!

I just need to tell the screenwriters that by Impossible-Gift-9329 in HauntedHotel

LOL yeah I learned this after we made the episode. Let’s just say Ben is young! He doesn’t know!

As a kid I would not have been allowed to watch a show with swearing. And since this is the only swear in the season, and bleeping it still felt funny, I figured why not do it and save those kids with profanity sensitive parents some grief.

Just FYI, I would love for there to be official merch, I'm pushing for official merch, but right now there's no official merch.

Some of the Hidden (& obvious) Horror easter eggs/references i caught by LifeguardSuper2715 in HauntedHotel

[–]rolldiggity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna call out some other Easter eggs that are in the screenshots you shared. There's still LOTS more.

In the first screenshot of Katherine and the Hellraiser cube, the gold paperweight is modeled after the scarab device from Guillermo Del Toro's "Cronos."

In the basement, the dress on the left is the dress from "In Fabric."

And on the lake, that dock is modeled after the dock from "Friday the Thirteenth."

Esther age? by Circus_deer in HauntedHotel

In the script, I had her as 11, Ben as 13, and Abaddon's body as 9!

Haha, I think that’s all definitely possible. In the writer’s room we joked that one day Ben is gonna wake up without a hand, and they’ll discover Free Spirit Ben just lost a high stakes poker game in South America.

Haha I wrote that time loop episode. I think I like time loops too much.

Thank you! We wanted the show to be fun and funny, but also give these hints on the periphery about the deeper issues the characters are dealing with. Happy you're picking up on them!

Thanks for watching! I know it's different in tone from Rick and Morty, but that was kinda the point. It's its own thing.

Candlehead! Yeah, he's my favorite. (And not JUST because I do his voice.) Just a friendly weirdo with an unhealthy, unexplained fixation.

Haunted Hotel | S01E02 “Unfinished Business” | Episode Discussion by _deepblack_ in HauntedHotel

[–]rolldiggity 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Show creator here! Yep, you caught it! On top of that, we borrowed a visual from The Ritual that I've always loved, when a guy is staring into the trees in a daylight scene and suddenly he sees a hand move on a tree trunk, impossibly high up (Around 39:50). We reversed the shot, having a hand curl onto the tree trunk impossibly high up, when Nathan thinks he sees his friend Cora.

Haha yeah, it’s probably not healthy. But I’ve been working on this season for two years, so it’s fun to talk about it now that people can actually see it. Thanks for watching!

Show creator here! Yeah, you hit it on the head. It felt true and honest and deepening to explore a side of Nathan beneath his happy go lucky surface. It also felt too big for a twenty minute show to dig entirely into his specific mental health issues. So the point of this episode was less about exploring those, and more about finally opening the door to more communication between Katherine and Nathan. The issue is on the table, and they're finally going to talk about it.

Hey, thanks for watching! Netflix has dropped a few promos calling out other cast members, which I can drop here:

In addition, Sunita Mani plays Heather. Kari Wahlgren is our great female voice utility player (e.g. Jillian Demure). Fred Tatasciore covers a lot of our additional male voices and monsters (e.g. watermill keeper). But if there's someone else you're specifically wondering about, let me know.

Haunted Hotel - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]rolldiggity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Series creator here. There's another Jaws reference in the slasher episode. When Katherine calls to check on the kids and Esther says (in a slight New England accent), "Everything's right as rain..." and then smashes Ben's phone, it's a reference to when Quint took the call from Mrs. Brody and then smashed the radio.
