A forgotten piece of early-2000s horror nostalgia is getting unearthed. When Good Ghouls Go Bad — the 2001 made-for-TV horror film starring Christopher Lloyd — is the focus of a brand-new documentary, When Good Ghouls Go Missing, directed by Dylan R. Nix.

The 75-minute retrospective dives deep into the eerie legacy of the out-of-print film and is now available to stream for free. Featuring interviews with co-writer John Lau and cast members Tom Amandes, Brittany Byrnes, Joseph Clements, Craig Marriott, and Alan Flower, the doc also includes never-before-seen photos and behind-the-scenes memories from the production.

Originally based on a story by Goosebumps and Fear Street creator R.L. Stine, When Good Ghouls Go Bad first aired during Fox Family’s 13 Nights of Halloween in October 2001. The film follows 12-year-old Danny Walker, who moves to his father’s eerie Minnesota hometown—a place where Halloween has been banned and the dead don’t stay buried for long.

Beyond its cult status as a family-friendly gateway horror film, the movie carries a tragic real-life mystery: Joe Pichler, one of its young stars, vanished in 2006 at just 18 years old. His disappearance remains unsolved to this day, giving the film an unsettling legacy that lingers decades later.

When Good Ghouls Go Missing pays tribute to the strange magic, nostalgic chills, and haunting real-life story behind one of TV horror’s most overlooked gems.
