Movie Reviews of When Good Ghouls Go Bad

Movie Review: fun for all
Summary: 4 Stars

Orignally bought this for the kids on video. Viewed so frequently we needed a new copy on DVD. Mild gore keeps the kids engrossed, but I love the humor - "I fell victim to a compelling urban legend." - is a popular line in our household. The cast is good, particularly Christopher Lloyd.
Have never been a fan of R.L. Stein and Goosebumps, but I this has a dif-
ferent feel to it. The ending is touching and perhaps a bit romantic.
Our entire household, ages 11 to 47, views this at least once a year, an annual Halloween event.

Summary of When Good Ghouls Go Bad

Twelve-year-old Danny Walker is shocked to learn that the small Minnesota town he just moved to can't celebrate Halloween because of a local curse. With the help of his recently deceased (but still kicking) Uncle Fred, Danny must battle an army of prankster ghouls rising from the ground to break the curse once and for all - and bring back the magic of Halloween.
A 12-year-old moves with his newly divorced father to Dad's hometown and confronts the usual bullies, town curses, and rampaging by the undead in this screen adaptation of the R.L. Stine juvenile novel of the same name. Danny's first introduction to Walker Falls is the police removal of his spooky door decorations because Halloween is forbidden in this All Hallows' Eve answer to Footloose. To make matters worse, his grandfather (the ever wacky Christopher Lloyd) dies in a pumpkin accident and comes back as a goofy zombie ready to help Danny and his new (girl)friend solve the town mystery. Packed with lots of gross-out zombie action and plenty of junior high humor, this PG-rated film contains mild horror scenes, but no naughty words and one innocent kiss. Fans of the book series should be satisfied with this 93-minute adaptation, which may even inspire some young viewers to pick up a book. (Ages 9 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
