Expect to see the Toy Story characters taking on some fright in their very first television special titled Toy Story of Terror.

Pixar made the announcement this weekend and provided a working graphic (above) as well as a great synopsis:

What starts out as a fun road trip for the Toy Story gang takes an unexpected turn for the worse when the trip detours to a roadside motel. After one of the toys goes missing, the others find themselves caught up in a mysterious sequence of events that must be solved before they all suffer the same fate in this Toy Story of Terror.

Unfortunately this television special won’t air until October 2013, so we still have a ways to go. In June we had learned that two television specials involving the Toy Story characters were in development from Pixar in addition to more Toy Story Toons. The latest Toy Story Toon was Partysaurus Rex and released with Finding Nemo 3D in theaters last month. Watch a clip!

We can imagine that Pixar will dream up a world of clever spooky characters for Terror and can’t wait for its fall release! The special will likely air on ABC or ABC Family.
