An ActionAdventure game by Creator/{{Rare}} Ltd., released for the Xbox in 2003 after a pre-release conversion from its original design for the Platform/NintendoGameCube. 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 HauntedHouse 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.

In 2015, the game was re-released in the [[CompilationRerelease compilation]] ''Rare Replay'' on the Xbox One; unlike the 29 other games on the compilation which were all brought back by either UsefulNotes/{{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![[/note]]

Humorous and entertaining, but highly unsuccessful sales-wise. The game's lack of commercial success is [[SelfDeprecation repeatedly referenced for laughs]] in later Rare titles, such as ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie: Nuts and Bolts''.

* PoorCommunicationKills: 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.

* GetBackHereBoss: 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''.

** The One Hit Wonder Powerup lets Cooper do this to any enemy normally damageable by any of his attacks for a short time.

** 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.
Added DiffLines:
**The Zombies can wind up their arms for an Uppercut as they move towards you. Dodge the uppercut, and the arm will ''detach from its socket'' and end up on the ground as a usable weapon.
Added DiffLines:
* InvincibleMinorMinion: Many enemies in the game have a WeaksauceWeakness in the form of a weapon that you need to use to defeat them, and are completely invincible otherwise. 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.

* FriendlyEnemy: 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.
