YouTube Originals Kids & Family premieres The Corpse Talk: Halloween Special, a  new Halloween special for the comedy animation series Corpse Talk, with voice work from Joe Sugg, Ardal O’Hanlon, Julia Davis and Tony Gardner. Produced by Tiger Aspect Kids & Family (part of Banijay Kids & Family), the 15-minute special will be available on the Cartoons For Kids YouTube channel and on the YouTube Kids app from today, 7th October 2022.

The “Corpse Talk: Halloween Special” takes place in the graveyard studio where host Adam (actor and YouTube star Joe Sugg) is joined by Mary Shelley (Julia Davis), author of Frankenstein; Bram Stoker (Ardal O’Hanlon) author of Dracula; and finally, the discoverer of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Howard Carter (Tony Gardner). Through Adam's chat-show banter, we discover how Frankenstein was created on a rainy holiday, Bram Stoker is introduced to gaming and how many underpants Tutankhamun needed in his afterlife. We'll also find out which is the scariest story and which of the guests...or host...is the most scared!
“Corpse Talk,” which premiered this May, is a light-hearted and educational series based on the children’s graphic novels and comics of the same name, created by Adam and Lisa Murphy. Episodes are hosted by the witty and cheeky, Adam (voiced by Joe Sugg), who brings a variety of monarchs, artists, scientists and innovators back to life, to interview them and find out about their extraordinary and celebrated life stories in an unusual and very special kind of chat-show.
Spanish-language versions of all “Corpse Talk” episodes also start rolling out today on the Viva Mr. Bean YouTube channel, with new episodes launching every Friday and Tuesday. The “Corpse Talk: Halloween Special” will air in Spanish on October 25.

Corpse Talk is executive produced by Tom Beattie, directed by Oliver Brown, produced by Helen Burt, Greg Jenner as historical consultant, and the series is written by Nick Ostler and Mark Huckerby. Craig Hunter is Global Head of Kids & Family Originals for YouTube and Daniel Haack is creative lead.
