Escape the Night: The Lost Tapes is an upcoming miniseries created by Joey Graceffa and made exclusively for Tubi. The miniseries is the sequel series of the popular YouTube Premium original series Escape the Night, and will serve as a "grand finale" to the Escape The Night franchise. [1]
On November 2 2023, Joey Graceffa announced that he was starting an Indiegogo to help raise $1,000,000 to create a movie for the series. The campaign managed to raise $169,600 from 2,929 supporters. This failed to reach the goal, but it was indemand and raised enough to create "The Lost Episode."
However, there many setbacks to the production. In September 2024, Graceffa stated that the production had experienced setbacks, including the departure of the original director due to personal circumstances. He also noted that the project faced a financial deadline, as funds raised through Indiegogo had to be utilised by the end of 2024 or a significant portion would be lost for tax reasons. [2]
Production was carried out at Willow Studios in Los Angeles, California. The project utilised the facility’s basement level, which includes several pre-built environments commonly used for horror and thriller productions, such as a jail area, mechanic room, hallways, and meat lockers. The studio describes this section as particularly suited for atmospheric or genre-based shoots. [3]
During early development, Graceffa asked viewers whether the project should be released as a single film or divided into three parts. Before or following the project’s acquisition by Tubi for distribution, the decision was made to structure the final work as a three-part miniseries. The project was subsequently retitled Escape the Night: The Lost Tapes.

In February 2025, a public dispute emerged between Tana Mongeau and several individuals involved in the project following comments Mongeau made on her Cancelled podcast regarding a negative experience during the filming of a project related to the series. Mongeau stated that she had felt uncomfortable on set, describing an alleged “creepy encounter” with a masked actor during a scene filmed in a meat freezer in which she was physically restrained. She also claimed that her pinky finger had been broken during the filming and that the incident was not handled with appropriate seriousness. Mongeau further alleged inappropriate behaviour by a crew member, though other participants disputed her account.
Joey Graceffa responded to the allegations on the Just Trish podcast, denying that Mongeau had sustained a broken finger and suggesting that she had exaggerated aspects of the situation. Rosanna Pansino also disputed Mongeau’s claims, reportedly stating that Mongeau had misrepresented events and characterising the filming conditions as less demanding than in previous seasons. Pansino’s comments drew backlash from some viewers, who accused her of dismissing Mongeau’s concerns. Trisha Paytas, Mongeau’s co-host and friend, publicly supported Mongeau and criticised both Graceffa and Pansino for downplaying her allegations.
