Gamers play the role of Cooper, a kid on a mission to rescue his girlfriend, who has been "grabbed by the ghoulies." Players will venture through the haunted and ominous Ghoulhaven Hall, battling it out with a variety of monsters while trying to escape the many tricks, traps and shocks awaiting them along the way. Packed with action, "Grabbed by the Ghoulies" is filled with unexpected surprises, and all that fail to get through Ghoulhaven Hall are imprisoned within and never seen again.
From the start, the game looks fantastic. The story unfolds by way of storyboards and it works a charm. The graphics and animation are so smooth that it is hard press not to like, and the comedy….well, it will appeal to all ages. You will encounter more than 25 types of ghoulies to keep them on their toes, including vampires, zombies, mummies, skeletons, haunted furniture and many more. Each ghoulie has its own crazed, personality and style of attack, and they all fight dirty. You could be electrocuted, bitten, burned, cursed, thrown around and even mummified.
Featuring an easy pick-up-and-play style, "Grabbed by the Ghoulies" offers something for gamers at all skill levels. Players can grasp gameplay basics quickly, and refine and improve their fighting strategy as they progress through the game.

Spine-tingling events will happen without warning to test players' resolve and reactions, such as faces appearing in windows, ghostly figures and disembodied heads materializing from thin air, and ghoulies leaping out from almost anywhere. You must avoid these scares to keep Cooper in control or risk being overwhelmed by debilitating fear and ultimately fainting.
You will have more than 100 household objects at your disposal to use as weapons. You can bash ghoulies with chairs, pool cues, tables, pictures and nearly anything else they find in the house. Not only that, you might get some help from the downtrodden staff of Ghoulhaven Hall to provide you with a variety of weapons for battling the ghoulies, such as a garlic-firing blunderbuss to take on vampires and a fire extinguisher to douse burning imps.
As you follow a twisted plot full of surprises, escapes and rescues, you
will explore over 50 rooms in the giant Ghoulhaven Hall. There are tons of puzzles to solve and, not surprisingly, they conclude in players unleashing a bash-fest on the ghoulies.
