Escape the Undertaker premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 5 on Netflix.
Retired WWE Superstar Mark Calaway once again dons the black trench coat and wide brim hat, transforming back into wrestling icon The Undertaker, for a hokey but harmless interactive Netflix haunted-house romp with New Day's Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods.
Yes, the "choose your own adventure" narrative gimmick that unspooled in the Emmy-winning Black Mirror episode "Bandersnatch" (and has since made humble rounds through Netflix fare like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and The Boss Baby) is back for a gently spooky Halloween adventure that will likely sour serious wrestling fans while delighting WWE's younger crowd.
Of course, older WWE fans are welcome as well, even if it's just for a more ironic kind of appreciation, or maybe just the softer joy of seeing performers you like doing something new and exploring a different storytelling medium.

But the fact does remain that this is now Undertaker's final appearance -- and it's silly.
Big E., Kofi, and Xavier are wonderful here. Not only do they embody happiness and charismatic camaraderie, but when it's called for, they can hit the serious notes too. Their charm is a nice counter spell against Taker's trademark drollness, and they really help this interactive tale work. Also bolstering the proceedings are the sort of low-stakes...
Escape the Undertaker is a benign but effective use of Netflix's interactive abilities. Pairing the most macabre WWE Superstar with the company's most positive players makes for a fun showdown, one that you might wish had made it to official WWE TV -- not in this form, of course, but as a noble "turn to the dark side" storyline. Undertaker purists,...

Escape the Undertaker, featuring New Day trying to steal Undertaker's urn, is a silly but satisfying use of Netflix's interactive platform.
