A Halloween Puppy from 2012 is a fun-filled family movie that revolves around a young boy named Billy who discovers a talking dog named Ghoulish in his backyard, on Halloween. The movie stars Evan Crooks as Billy, Stephanie Shemanski as his friend Cassie, and Kristine DeBell as the voice of Ghoulish. Billy is a shy, introverted boy who is trying to fit in at school, but finds it difficult. Cassie, on the other hand, is outgoing and confident, and gets along with everyone. One Halloween, while out trick-or-treating, Billy is dared by some bullies to enter a spooky old house. He agrees, only to find a talking dog named Ghoulish in the backyard. He is surprised to learn that Ghoulish can not only talk but also performs magical tricks.

Billy and Cassie form a strong bond with Ghoulish, who wishes to help the kids with their problems. Ghoulish becomes their confidante and coach, guiding them through their fears and problems. As the two kids spend time with Ghoulish, they learn important life lessons and gain courage to fight their fears.

The trio goes on adventures together, like visiting a haunted house that Billy's dad has decorated for Halloween. During this adventure, they run into Billy's dad (played by Eric Roberts). Billy's dad is initially skeptical when he learns that Ghoulish can talk, but gradually comes to believe it when he hears Gholish's voice. Together, they all work to stop a thief who is planning to steal the family's prized diamond.

The movie succeeds in combining humor, drama, and adventure in a way that appeals to families with young children. The characters are relatable and the story is not overly complex, making it a perfect movie for families to watch together. The theme of friendship is highlighted as Billy and Cassie form a strong bond with Ghoulish. The movie also emphasizes bravery, kindness, and standing up for oneself.

The performances by the actors are quite good, especially Evan Crooks, who plays Billy, and Stephanie Shemanski, who plays Cassie. Together, they form a strong partnership that is believable and heartwarming. Kristine DeBell does a great job providing the voice of Ghoulish, and her character brings a lot of excitement to the movie.

The movie's visuals are impressive, with well-designed sets that enhance the mystical world of the story. The special effects used to bring Ghoulish to life are also well done, making him look like he is actually talking to the kids.

The movie's soundtrack is also well-constructed, adding to the ambiance of the tale. The music helps to create the right mood for each scene, whether it is excitement, suspense, or happiness. The music also complements the movie's theme of Halloween perfectly.

All in all, A Halloween Puppy is the perfect movie for families to watch together on a cozy Halloween evening.
