劇情簡介
Our setting is the Undervale hotel, which suffers from a poor location, terrible decor and a lack of professional staff, but that’s not why it has very few guests.It’s haunted!It is crawling with ghosts, ghouls, demons and spooky supernatural phenomena.
故事背景設定在安德維爾酒店——一家地理位置糟糕、裝修品味堪憂、員工極不專業的酒店。可它門可羅雀的真正原因，卻不是這些……而是——它鬧鬼了！酒店里滿是鬼魂、惡靈、妖魔，以及各種詭異的超自然現象。
At first, it seems we are in a Ghosts rip-off, as the resident spirits offer an unpredictable blend of assistance and hindrance, and bargain pathetically forperks: just as in Ghosts, the boredom of eternity has caused an obsession with asking humans to leave their televisions switched on.
一開始，你可能會以為這是在模仿《鬼屋歡樂送》：那些常駐的幽靈們時而幫倒忙、時而添亂，還會為了微不足道的好處可憐兮兮地討價還價。就像《鬼屋歡樂送》里的鬼魂一樣，他們因為永恒的無聊，竟然對人類的電視節目著了迷——總是央求人類別關電視。

人物介紹
Grappling with the undead residents is a pretty conventional sitcom family unit, led by smart, put-upon single mother Katherine (Eliza Coupe) and ineffectual dreamer Nathan (Will Forte).
與這群“亡靈住戶”打交道的，是一個看似普通的情景喜劇家庭：由聰明能干卻常被生活壓得喘不過氣的單親媽媽凱瑟琳（伊麗莎·庫伯 配音）領銜，還有那個理想主義、辦事不靠譜的“夢想家”內森（威爾·福特 配音）。
The twist here is that classic comedy dad Nathan is Katherine’s brother, not her partner, and he is also a ghost,albeitone who thinks and talks like a living human.
不過，這劇的巧妙設定在于——這個典型的喜劇“爸爸”內森不是凱瑟琳的伴侶，而是她的哥哥。而且，他早就死了，是個鬼魂——只是思維和言語方式都跟活人一模一樣。
He and Katherine act as parents to her two kids Ben (Skyler Gisondo), a 13-year-old at the wrong end of the high school coolness spectrum, and little sister Esther (Natalie Palamides), who like a lot of sitcom little sisters has a dark energy that tends towardsmegalomania.
內森和凱瑟琳一起撫養她的兩個孩子：13歲的本（斯凱勒·吉桑多 配音），是那種校園里公認很不酷的少年；以及妹妹埃絲特（娜塔莉·帕拉米迪斯 配音），和許多情景喜劇里的妹妹一樣，自帶一股蔫兒壞的勁頭，頗有幾分妄自尊大的傾向。
Completing the lineup is diminutive agent of chaos Abaddon (Jimmi Simpson), a demon trapped in the body of a small boy from the 18th century – and if that sounds like an original creation, rest assured that Abaddon is essentially Stewie from Family Guy: “The night is my canvas and terror my paint! I’d likePB&Jfor lunch.”
最后登場的是一位制造混亂的小能手——阿巴頓（吉米·辛普森 配音），這個惡魔的靈魂被困在一個18世紀的小男孩身體里。若你覺得這設定夠新穎，不妨聽聽這句臺詞：“黑夜是我的畫布，恐懼是我的顏料！……不過我午餐想吃花生醬果醬三明治。” 沒錯，阿巴頓活脫脫就是《惡搞之家》里的史蒂薇。
對喜劇動畫片感興趣的寶子們，可以來看這部劇。不僅能笑出聲，還能練聽力和口語。對話節奏賊快、俚語地道又帶點黑色幽默，看幾集你就能熟練掌握“英語式吐槽”的精髓。
