This house is haunted
Yeah, it's filled with fright
Like the ghosts wanted
C'mon, together it feels so right
Oh, what a spooky night!
A Really Haunted Loud House is a Halloween made-for-TV movie and a spinoff of The Really Loud House and, by extension, The Loud House. The leads of The Really Loud House, as well as some guest stars and featured roles, reprise their roles in the film.
The plot revolves around Lincoln (Wolfgang Schaeffer) and Clyde (Jahzir Bruno) skipping the annual Loud family Spooktacular in favor of attending a party held by Xander Coddington (Martin Fajardo), a new cool kid who has just moved in to Royal Woods. As for the Spooktacular, things go awry when Rita (Jolie Jenkins), having just learned that her excessive feeding of candy to her kids has given them cavities, swaps the candy she was going to give the town for dental hygiene products, causing them to get negative reviews online. Unaware that it's his house that's getting lame reviews, Lincoln attempts to gain favor with Xander by siccing his army of fans on them, but after realizing he's targeting his own family, Lincoln rallies his family to fight back against the Xander Nation. Meanwhile, Lynn Sr. (Brian Stepanek) faces his own inner demons and is forced to evade Lincoln's Action News Team friends, who are trying to catch a cryptid.
The film was released on September 28, 2023.
"So, by a show of hands, who believes these tropes are haunted?"
- And Starring:
- As with The Really Loud House, the opening credits end with "With Jolie Jenkins"/"And Brian Stepanek".
- The ending credits' list of guest stars ends with "And Kevin Chamberlin as Flip Phillipini".
- Banana Peel: Luan uses one to fend off the Xander Nation during their assault.Luan: The classics are the best.
- Bloody Hilarious: Luna wards off several Xander Nation members by spraying fake blood on them.Luna: "As Mick Swagger would say, 'You're about to have a bloody good time.'"
- Companion Cube: Esmeralda, Lisa's pumpkin, whom she treats as a friend. Naturally, Todd is a Green-Eyed Monster who is bent on carving up the pumpkin.
- Exact Words: A flashback shows Rita reminding her kids to floss their teeth. Cue all eleven of them, even Lucy and Lisa, doing the floss dance, leading to them all getting cavities.
- Expy: Xander. New cool kid whom Lincoln and Clyde initially try to gain favor, only to realize he's a bully? Sounds an awful lot like Chandler McCann from the animated series.
- Gory Discretion Shot: Parodied. As Todd steals Lana's chainsaw to carve up Esmeralda the pumpkin, the camera pulls away before it can show the carving.
- Jabba Table Manners: The first sign of Lynn Sr.'s "transformation" into a werewolf is that he ravenously devours Luan's sandwich with no regard for manners.
- Large Ham: The Louds may be a family of ham, but Brian Stepanek goes completely off the rails on playing Lynn Sr. as a werewolf, as does Catherine Bradley playing Luan as a mad scientist.
- Logo Joke: The Nickelodeon Movies logo ends with a Last Note Nightmare played on an organ as the logo becomes monochrome.
- Not Now, Kiddo: Twice.
- As the spooktacular starts, Lana tries to tell Lori that their mom is replacing the candy with toothbrushes, but Lori brushes her off. She tries again at the end, when cued to release them, only to give up when Lori doesn't let her finish.
- Both youngest child Lily and second-oldest Leni are subject to this when the family is trying to determine who stole Esmerelda. Lily saw Lincoln and Clyde sneak inside the large pumpkin when Xander stole it, and says "Lincoln in pumpkin" twice, both times being ignored. Leni comes across a live stream of Xander bragging about his plans to crush the pumpkin, which is at first brushed off before she explains what it is, at which point Lily speaks up again, and the rest of the family puts two-and-two together.
- Promoted to Opening Credits: Lexi DiBenedetto (Lori) and August Michael Peterson (Lily) are listed in the opening credits after spending Season 1 of The Really Loud House being listed as guest stars.
- Shadow Discretion Shot: Parodied. During Lynn Sr.'s "transformation" into a werewolf, he gets glue on his face and then lands face-first onto a furry bean bag. His attempts to remove the fur from his face are shown in shadow, with his howling at the moon completing his "transformation".
- Toilet Humor: Lincoln eats some food at Xandir's party that immediately sends him to the bathroom where he ends up clogging the toilet.
