The Duke of Sussex capped off a whirlwind New York City trip by getting into spooky season on Sept. 26

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the Duke of Sussex, 40, will appear as a surprise guest on The Tonight Show Starring — but didn’t take part in a typical interview with the late night talk show host.
Instead, the two ventured through a haunted maze at Rockefeller Center created by Fallon called , which Fallon announced Aug. 15. “Brace yourself for 10 spine-chilling rooms that bring Jimmy’s worst nightmares to life with sinister characters and scares around every corner,” according to . “Enter if you dare!”
In a preview clip of the frightful moment, Harry and Fallon watched an eerie video of Fallon holding a pup. Although Harry first tells Fallon, “You look great,” to which a flattered Fallon responds, “Thank you,” on-screen Fallon’s eyes quickly shift as a static noise is heard, leaving Harry alarmed.
Shadows of a zombie-like creature then appears on the other side of a door, and Harry’s bodycam that’s attached to his chest catches his candid and surprised reaction. The zombie then bursts through the door and startles Harry, who hilariously grabs Fallon’s chest.
“That actually got me,” Fallon says.
The duo then get scared by a wolverine before running into a scary band. The musicians hilariously break character as they realize it was actually Harry who they just scared. The video ends with one of the spooky band members fanning herself in awe.
