New “Rick and Morty” Claymation Horror Short to Premiere on Adult Swim for Halloween

Horror frequently pops up in animated series “Rick and Morty,” both in the episodes and in promos for new seasons. So it’s no surprise that even though season six won’t arrive until late November, “Rick and Morty” still found a way to celebrate Halloween.

The team behind “Rick and Morty” has enlisted the talent of animator Lee Hardcastle (The ABCs of Death) once again, this time with a brand new Claymation horror short titled “Summer’s Sleepover.”

An unexpected guest arrive at Summer’s sleepover party and livens things up in this trippy horror short. “Summer’s Sleepover” premieres Sunday, 10/30 at Midnight ET on Adult Swim, next day globally on HBO Max and on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel. Expect the unexpected in this wacky world.

Hardcastle previously was behind the series’ Hereditary spoof that played ahead of season five’s premiere, which you can watch here.

“Rick and Morty” stars Justin Roiland (“Solar Opposites”), Sarah Chalke (“Scrubs”), Chris Parnell (“Saturday Night Live”), and Spencer Grammer (“Greek”). The series is created by Dan Harmon (“Community”) and Roiland, who also serve as executive producers.

The award-winning series follows “a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. Rick Sanchez is living with his daughter Beth’s family and constantly bringing her, his son-in-law Jerry, granddaughter Summer, and grandson Morty into intergalactic escapades.”

As for what we can expect when the series returns on November 20 on Adult Swim: “Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show.”
