Oh Christopher Lloyd. Are you capable of not being awesome?

I love how Curtis Denko is portrayed as painting grisly stuff, but he's literally just painting a scene from Planet of the Apes. And it carries through to his costume.

With bony hands I hold my partner On soulless feet we cross the floor The music stops as if to answer An empty knocking at the door It seems his skin was sweet as mango When last I held him to my breast But now we dance this grim fandango And will for years before we rest.

1:15 "Danny's eccentric grandpa uncle Fred?" Does that make him his grunkle Fred?

3:12 - 3:30 I never thought I would quote Robots online but; Mel Brooks robot: "LADIES AND GENTLEBOTS-TLEBOTS-TLEBOTS, I CAME ALL-ALL THIS WAY-WAY!!! *Talks to Microphone* Will you cut that out!? It's very distracting!" Microphone: "Sorry, sorry!"

I always really liked this one too. You can also tell how popular/well remembered something is by how much fan art is out there & one Google search shows me there is a ton of Curtis Fan art.

God I miss 13 days of Halloween every year I made sure to watch that movie

Well that's an interesting movie...

I LOVED this special when I was a kid, so to see it covered on this show is sweeter than any candy.

I remember watching this one! It was great! Thanks, CR!

i adore this piece of childhood the fear the family the zombie and to tell you the truth this was the only zombie movie i ever watch as a kid and adult

7:01 In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be It scared me out of my wits! A corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me!

Stine does some really great stuff when he doesn't have to force out story after story after story after story.

You know, it's almost like you read my mind on what I'd specifically request you to do, because this is actually a movie I grew up with... you know, before Disney bought Fox Family and turned it into ABC Family, which is basically Hallmark with more Disney movies. Your special last year reminded me of this too.

Cool Christopher Lloyd also played Doc Brown and voice the Hacker

i was waiting for the lightning to strike with each mention of Halloween

Fitting I revisit this considering there's a Spirit Halloween movie with Lloyd in it that's coming out.

Thanks for sharing this forgotten classic with us, CR! I'll have to look it up when I get the chance! Have a very Happy Halloween!!

I never did watch it, though I remember seeing the commercials all the time.

Boy I love halloween do you + FamiliarFacesChannel

11:47-12:13 Well It better look like *THIS*!! OMG

Chad, thank you for highlighting this. It easily stands with Hocus Pocus and Halloween Tree as one of the best halloween specials ever made.

Haven't seen this. I should track this down for my roommate's boys.

I may be in the minority on this but the Curtis Danko puppet looks a little like Evil Ernie to me.

really great for sharing this forgotten classic with us

this almost made me cry. the ending was perfectly done

WOW! I actually remember this! Its been so long! But watching this again really interests me. So many good things I could mention.The story seems really good, the right amount of whimsy and heavier moments. Of course I LOVE Christopher Lloyd, its a shame he doesn't get the parts he deserves these days.

Entertaining as always CR! This is definitely not a Goosebumps TV movie I remember, it's the first time I've heard about it! You're right about Christopher Lloyd, the man can act and is just superb in any role he's given! I've always liked the quiet moments characters have in film or on television. When they drop their defenses, and show their vulnerability. Or just sit in contemplative silence, or they're just talking to another character, and the chaos around them has stopped for a minute.. That's when characters are the most relateable, and feel the most human, and Christopher Lloyd does it well! Thanks for sharing this! It is a shame that it's no longer aired on TV. (Much like another Halloween favorite of mine, Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Tree. Which I remember seeing on your Top 13 Weirdest Halloween Specials.)

Aw crap Disney owns this now....

Awesome review CR!! You wouldn't happen to know if this is on KZfaq, do you? Also... I gotta say based on the New Addams Family clips you used that I really enjoy that show and often like its retellings of older episodes better than the newer ones since A more special effects, and B the stories feel more complete... And it's the perfect blend of the loving and caring Addams with the movie Addams.

This is was pretty interesting special~ I don't think they show it where it was airing and I think that was around the same time the 'Fox Box' was started up. I'll keep it up sometime, Happy Halloween~

Rip Gene wilder

Lol I remember Danny, I definitely had a crush on him, that's probably the biggest reason I remember this movie n_n

I remember seeing this movie back on fox family and it was okay!

I love this movie, though it reminds me I really need to find "Grandpire" from Haunting Hour, another R L Stine "movie" (well, two hour long episodes iirc) with Christopher Lloyd.

Danny Walker wasn't the hero in this story and he was a coward, and he never save Halloween. He didn't try to bring Halloween back. Curtis Danko and the zombies were the real heroes and brought back Halloween. Coach Mike Kankel is an over the top comical villain. Everyone is stupid and apologize for nothing.

Also your end credits say "When Good Go Bad" is owned my 20th Century Fox, not "When Good Ghouls Go Bad". Just sayin. ;P

Wow this looks really good! Loved it and your review. Also, that your new intro picture? With Twilight boxer shorts? Nice.

I think I watched this movie in National Tv sometime, is look cool

I remember watching a promo for this, at first I thought it was going to be cheesy but now I really do regret missing this when it was out, good job reviewing this hidden gem of a movie. Shoot me a message if you need an idea for next Halloween, I got a good one, Monster High Gals vs Ghoul School Gals, who's more superior? The fashion forward ghouls of MH or the original old school of Ghoul School?

I'm so glad to see more content from you, man! I hope things are going well for you. Have a wonderful Halloween, CR! P.S. I would kill for another Cheap Damage. KILL.

How'd I miss this? Stupid KZfaq feed. What a weird film. Never seen it before... and now I know the entire plot... Oh well *shrug*

ROFL @ 8:26

14:51 "When Good Go Bad?"

i agree that fox family used to go all out for halloween...but when it became abc family everything changed and now they don't even put much effort into it....repeating the same movies every year

I remember being really disappointed when Brittany Byrnes went in for a *real* kiss and got a *faceplant* instead. Then again, I was pretty romantic for a six year-old, so maybe I should have lowered my expectations a bit.

whats the name of the song that plays during the credits?

Have you ever thought about doing a video about pilots for show some are pretty good.

What is that song playing in the end credits called? I really want to know.

what a terrible movie XD
