When Good Ghouls Go Bad is a made-for-TV gateway horror movie starring Christopher Lloyd that premiered as part of Fox Family’s 13 Nights of Halloween programming in 2001.
Based on a concept by Goosebumps and Fear Street author R.L. Stine, the film is directed by Patrick Read Johnson (Baby’s Day Out) from a script he co-wrote with John Lau.
Beyond its cult following, the project is perhaps most notably due to the fact that lead actor Joe Pichler went missing at the age of 18 under mysterious circumstances in 2006. His whereabouts remain unknown.

The 75-minute retrospective features interviews with Lau and actors Tom Amandes, Brittany Byrnes, Joseph Clements, Craig Marriott, and Alan Flower alongside never-before-seen photos from the production.
In When Good Ghouls Go Bad, when 12-year-old Danny Walker moves to his father’s hometown in Minnesota, he finds that the town doesn’t celebrate Halloween and things aren’t quite what they appear to be.
