Think Black Mirror: Bandersnatch… but make it wrestling.
Netflix has dropped the official trailer for Escape The Undertaker, an interactive WWE-themed Halloween Special featuring none other than the Undertaker himself.
The trailer sees the wrestling trio The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E) making choices on film according to the viewers’ decision after they enter Undertaker’s spooky mansion.
The New Day propose that they could combine the power of positivity with the power of Undertaker’s urn. He, however, is not happy with this proposition and ensues chaos when he lets them into the mansion to chase them to death.
The video description reads, “Can The New Day survive the surprises at The Undertaker’s spooky mansion? It’s up to you to decide their fate in this interactive WWE-themed special.”
The Undertaker is one of the most iconic and well-known professional wrestlers in WWE’s history. Even people who have little to no knowledge about the sport are likely to recognize his name.
For those who haven’t watched a Netflix interactive film before, viewers use their keyboard and mouse or television remote to click on options or paths that lead the story in different directions.
Netflix reinvented the genre with Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, a film that has five different endings with various branches splitting the story up, changing how you move forward.
The Undertaker retired in 2020 after the documentary Undertaker: The Last Ride was released, but it looks like Netflix has managed to bring him back.
The synopsis for Escape The Undertaker reads,
In this interactive film featuring WWE Superstars, The Undertaker has set a trap for the decorated tag team The New Day at his mansion. What they don’t know: The Undertaker’s mansion is an extreme Haunted House, packed to the brim with supernatural challenges. It’s up to viewers to decide the fate of these three poor souls trying to survive the wrath of The Undertaker.
Synopsis
Based on the trailer, the film looks more like a parody than horror, but people will tune in anyway because, well, it’s The Undertaker.
In time for the spooky season, Escape The Undertaker premieres on Netflix on October 5.
