The first eight webcasts in the series where Halloween shorts, which featured characters from various Disney XD series visiting the 2017 Continuum's version of the Haunted Mansion.

Behind the scenes[]
These various shorts were released in 2017 for Halloween and Christmas on the "Disney XD" and "Disney TV Animation News" YouTube channels for free. They establish Pickle and Peanut, Big Hero 6 and a version of the Haunted Mansion to exist in the 2017 Continuum, as well as the fact that the dimensions featured in Star Vs. the Forces of Evil exist amongst the Parallel Universes of the Prime Universe and 2017 Continuum. Scary Stories also suggests that Gravity Falls takes place in that same universe as Star.
The series' take on the Haunted Mansion, astonishingly faithful to the original in most respects, did create one additional character, Babyboo.
