An Action-Adventure game by Rare Ltd., released for the Xbox in 2003 after a pre-release conversion from its original design for the Nintendo GameCube. Starring Cooper, a frightened but brave teenager whose girlfriend Amber is quite literally "grabbed by the ghoulies," yanked from Cooper's side by a pair of gargoyles and taken into Ghoulhaven Hall, a Haunted House along a road the duo wandered down after making a wrong turn. Half the game is spent trying to rescue Amber, the other half is spent trying to get to the master bedroom of airplane-obsessed Baron Von Ghoul so you can give him a thorough beating and steal the key to the front door.Humorous and entertaining, but highly unsuccessful sales-wise. The game's lack of commercial success is repeatedly referenced for laughs in later Rare titles, such as Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.Despite its lackluster initial sales, the game has been re-released as a download from the Xbox Live Arcade, where it currently holds a rating of just over 3/5 stars based on 2,000+ votes, showing that it has gained at least modest popularity.In 2015, the game was re-released in the compilation Rare Replay on the Xbox One; unlike the 29 other games on the compilation which were all brought back by either emulation or the Xbox One's Xbox 360 backwards compatibility feature, Grabbed by the Ghoulies was reprogrammed for the Xbox One as a HD remaster due to the absolutely (ahem) ghoulish difficulty of Xbox OG emulation.note As of 2015, there still wasn't a single remotely functional Xbox OG emulator. That's changed now, it just took six more years! | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: The Hunchback is an occasional miniboss who, despite his strength and size, will constantly either run away or curl up in an attempt to cover his face (his only damagable point), and after you finish a combo on him, he will cover his face with his hands completely until you back off and give him a chance to run away again. And one challenge requires you to beat one in under a minute. | |

Abnormal Ammo: Cooper can acquire guns that fire a stream of Holy Water (melts zombies), cloves of garlic (slays vampires), and soda cans (does a lot of explosive damage, period). He can also throw wine bottles, hamburgers, toilet paper, and flower pots as projectiles with up to six shots of each, as well as finding and using numerous other, larger single-shot throwables. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Some challenges are designed with deliberately paradoxical rules to ensure that the challenge WILL be lost and the Reaper WILL be unavoidably summoned before you can leave the area. (However, you are always able to leave the room once you meet certain challenge requirements — the challenge is merely arranged such that outrunning the Reaper becomes an unavoidable factor.) An example: the second time in the garbage yard, where you must defeat several haunted chairs, but the rules say you must use ONLY your fists and ONLY weapons at the same time, ensuring that if you attack at all the Reaper will come. Another one is the bathroom, where you must survive for 1:20 but the Reaper will arrive if you do not complete that challenge within 0:20, so you are guaranteed to spend a full sixty seconds simply hoping to outrun Death. This is used as an actual necessary gameplay element in Dr. Krackpot's lab, where you must forcibly summon the Reaper by killing a Skeleton (the challenge rules say specifically not to kill any Skeletons), then lead him around the room until he uses his Touch of Death on a Vampire you cannot otherwise hurt (they are only vulnerable to a garlic gun you don't have in that scene) to obtain a key it was holding. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Nearly happens, but averted. When Cooper first encounters Mr. Ribs, he’s shown taking an egg he needs from him, leading to him chasing and attacking Mr. Ribs. He’s just about to smash him to bits when Ma shows up and reveals she sent him to bring her the egg himself. Why Mr. Ribs didn’t tell Cooper this is never explained, but he could have and stopped himself from nearly dying. | |

Easter Egg: Far too many to count. There are innumerable Shout Outs to Banjo-Kazooie in the decorations in the mansion, including numerous paintings of characters such as Mumbo Jumbo, Klungo, and even "Devil Bottles" from 'Tooie. There is also a whiteboard in the schoolroom with writing and symbols on it apparently giving information regarding Banjo's infamous "Stop 'n' Swop." Monstrous versions of the title characters appear as mounted heads. | |

No saves, no checkpoints, but the figurative stopwatch on your time is personal challenge at best; you immediately earn a Platinum for completing the challenge. | |

The Unfought: Dr. Krackpot looks like he'll be a boss, especially when you enter his lab to discover him holding the final piece of the Baron's riddle. His transformation-gun explodes when Cooper plugs it with his finger, resulting in the destruction of Krackpot's robotic-leg mecha-vehicle thing that made him so intimidating. He gives up without a fight, on the condition that Cooper never mentions this incident to anyone. | |

Black Comedy Rape: Of the "male victim, female rapist" variety. If a Vampire grabs Cooper, she drags him into the coffin which shuts tight and begins rocking violently, while little love hearts and... unusual noises begin coming out of it. Cooper continually takes damage until he manages to force a way out. | |

Enemy Mine | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: The various ghoulies throughout the house don't seem to like the Reaper much more than you do, and will get into squabbles with him frequently. This comes particularly into play in the Bathroom. The challenge rules ensure that you will end up spending sixty seconds simply running away from the Grim Reaper. This is particularly difficult here as the room is very small compared to others where the Reaper can appear. However, numerous objects in the room can be broken to spill various enemies into the area... who, instead of attacking you, will swarm the Reaper, forming a wall between him and you, and proceed to beat the snot out of him, even letting him kill them as a distraction while you escape. Ghoulies don't exactly like each other, either, and it's possible to get them to fight one another by getting them to accidentally hit an enemy or picking up the "Traitor Fever!" Power-Up. When enemies near them go down, however, expect them to return their attention to you. | |

Friendly Enemy: Occasionally, ghoulies that will fight other ghoulies instead of the player, signified with a smiley face icon. This may happen due to story reasons (like empowering a group of skeletons to mutiny against the zombie pirate captain), freeing trapped ghoulies, using a certain powerup or simply stumbling upon a conflict already in progress. However, the "friendly" ghouly will turn on the player once no other ghoulies are present. | |

Nintendo Hard: Much of the game after the tutorial levels. The enemies don't give you a break to recuperate after getting knocked down, there are too many mooks chucking things at you, you don't start with enough health to handle the current situation, some enemies can One-Hit Kill you with little to no warning ... if it's not one thing making things tougher for you, it's another. Don't forget Challenge 21, which takes the difficulty of the adventure up to eleven. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The game ends with Cooper and Amber walking off towards the village of "Ghoulsville in the Gloom" mentioned in the opening sequence, with Baron Von Ghoul sneakily following them in his biplane, seemingly setting up for another adventure. Unfortunately, given the game's disappointing sales and the inclusion of "Ghoulies II" among various joke game titles (as in, outlandish Rare sequels that will never be made) depicted in the ending sequence of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, prospects for a sequel no longer look promising. | |

Not So Invincible After All: You can beat the Reaper around a bit, and even stun and knock him down, but he's completely unkillable most of the time. Unless there's a window in the room to launch him out of. There's even an achievement for beating him this way in Rare Replay. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The game's name Grabbed by the Ghoulies means "grabbed by the balls". That idiom is usually meant to indicate a Morton's Fork, which the game gleefully does as seen in Unwinnable By Design. | |

This is used as an actual necessary gameplay element in Dr. Krackpot's lab, where you must forcibly summon the Reaper by killing a Skeleton (the challenge rules say specifically not to kill any Skeletons), then lead him around the room until he uses his Touch of Death on a Vampire you cannot otherwise hurt (they are only vulnerable to a garlic gun you don't have in that scene) to obtain a key it was holding. | |

Gasshole: Zombies, who fart almost constantly. Zombie Pirates burp with near-equal frequency. Although it's obviously done for Rule of Funny in the game, there is actually some truth to this: after death, real-life corpses will release trapped gases as they decompose, which can sometimes be similar to flatulence. | |

Certain Scenes, however, have you encounter them while you do not have the weapon that defeats them, forcing you to either avoid them, or get rid of them another way. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Your health is scrambled at the start of each room, sometimes giving you a ridiculously low level of health to start off a particularly hard boss fight that could be done easily with just a bit more health to start. Heck, some rooms give you ONE hit point to start with, then send an endless barrage of enemies your way. | |

Press X to Not Die | |

Press X to Not Die: The Super Scary Shock — enter a sequence of buttons shown on the screen as quickly as possible or lose 10 health (which is often enough to kill you, or make you as good as dead once the mooks show up). Failing a Super Scary Shock during a Challenge 21 play-through is instant death. | |

Don't Fear the Reaper | |

Don't Fear the Reaper: The Grim Reaper is more hard-rocker than gloom-and-doom death-bringer. How bad can a dude who air-guitars on his scythe after claiming a victim with his Touch of Death possibly be? | |
