Spooky Buddies is a fun Halloween movie with dogs that perfect for young kids who want to get into the spooky spirit. In Fernfield, Washington, a warlock named Warwick has kidnapped five Beagle puppies to sacrifice to the Halloween Hound; a ritual that is interrupted by the arrival of the sheriff and a small mob of concerned citizens. Due to the ritual being interrupted, Warwick disappears into a void and one of the puppies, Pip, becomes a ghost.
The kids and puppies go trick or treating while Warwick searches for his missing staff, with a lot of important plot information occurring during this sequence: Pip the ghost dog finds the Buddies and they decide to help him return to real life, Warwick recovers his staff at a party, and the human kids meet Joseph, an elderly organist and gardener who grouchily assists when he hears about the strange r than usual, given this is Fernfield goings-on.
Warwick and the Hound capture the Buddies and release a spell that turns the townspeople into zombies, Joseph and the kids hide from the monsters in a church and map out a plan to rescue the dogs.
At the crumbling house, eventually the baddies are defeated and Pip returns to real life, reuniting with his human, Joseph who was a little boy in the opening sequence , and everything returns to normal. In the closing scene, Joseph has bought an RV and plans to go roaming around the country with Pip, which sounds like a good life. That quibble aside, while including magic seems like a bit of a strange turn for the universe, it does explain why canines are able to accomplish so many amazing feats.
Of the human actors, Rance Howard father of Ron and Clint, grandfather of Bryce is perfect for Joseph, and Harland Williams plays an amusing and vaguely frightening Warwick. He turns Sheriff Dan into a monkey which everyone thinks it's a magic act. The kids try to escape, but are cornered by Warwick who believes that they have his spell book. They are saved by Mr. Johnston who knocks Warwick out with his shovel.
He takes them to a chapel saying that dark magic can't enter. Warwick pursues the kids and Mr. Johnston and threatens the former for the spell book using the Buddies. The Buddies are locked up in a cage with Hoot guarding them. Pip returns to the mansion and persuades Hoot that he can change and to free the Buddies.
Hoot unlocks the cage and lets them escape. The Halloween Hound returns and seeing Hoot's betrayal sucks his soul out as punishment. The Buddies and Pip are cornered by the Halloween Hound. Pip willingly sacrifices himself by telling the Halloween Hound that he took his siblings' souls and he was the only one left to complete the spell. The Halloween Hound sucks his soul out. Rodney and Skip help the Buddies escape by opening a secret panel behind the fireplace which they run through.
The Halloween Hound then goes to open the portal saying, "I'm not waiting for that idiotic Warwick any longer.
Johnston and the kids return to the mansion with the spell book. Warwick uses his magic to paralyze Mr. Johnston and takes it back, only to realize that it is actually the Bible. The Buddies hide in the kitchen where Budderball starts devouring pickled eyeballs.
The Halloween Hound finds them and B-Dawg comes up with a plan. Just when the Halloween Hound is about to suck Budderball's soul out, B-dawg signals him who farts, releasing out gas, repelling the magic and causing the Halloween Hound to have his own soul sucked out. The kids and Mr.
