As longtime readers of this blog know, I am a big Tim and Eric fan, I’ve gone to see them live and well, I just think what they do is brilliant and hilarious. Furthermore their comedy is practically inscrutable, as it’s nearly impossible to pin down why the things they do are so fucking funny. I think they’ve found not just a particular niche for themselves, but have actually come up with a very specific and very “new” kind of comedy vocabulary.

Certainly there never seems to be any middle ground where they’re concerned: People either love Tim and Eric or else they really hate them. If, like me, you love them, it was welcome news indeed to hear about their upcoming Adult Swim Halloween special with guest Zach Galifianakis.

Here’s how the press release describes the half-hour Twilight Zone-style “horror” anthology:

Tim, Eric and Zach are elated to learn their grandfather has left them each $1,000 in his will. However, there’s a catch. In order to collect the money, they must live in his haunted mansion for the rest of their lives.

As you can see from the trailer, Tim and Eric also want to warn their fans about syringes going around this Halloween…
