Keegan-Michael Key has joined the cast of "Aaron Mahnke's 13 Days of Halloween," a new horror podcast from Blumhouse Television, iHeartMedia, and Aaron Mahnke.
Key plays the "caretaker" of purgatorial hotel Hawthorne Manor, in which listeners play the role of the hotel's latest guest... putting them at the center of a terrifying new tale every day, according to Variety.
"13 Days of Halloween" premieres on October 19th. Listen to a trailer below.
"Hawthorne Manor is a unique world, and we're so thrilled to be working with iHeartMedia and Aaron Mahnke to bring this sinister tale to life," said Jeremy Gold of Blumhouse Television. "With people staying home this Halloween, we thought listeners would appreciate getting lost in this world with us and having a taste of the spooky spirit of this holiday."
As an actor, writer, and creator, Keegan-Michael Key has become one of the most creative and in-demand faces in Hollywood.
