Ghoul Grumps is a Halloween-themed spin-off of Game Grumps that began on October 25th, 2013, hosted by Arin and Danny.

Theme lyrics[]

Arin: Hey I'm ghoul!

Danny: BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!

Both: And we're the Ghoul Grumps!

Secret Messages[]

At the end of each of the intro clips, a secret message is played backward, which is different every time.

In 2013, the messages were more menacing due to more vocal effects. From 2014 onward, the messages are only given an echo effect in addition to the creepy noises and being played backwards.

Ghoul Grumps: Nightmare Before Christmas[]

Further information: A Message About Ghoul Grumps

In 2018, with the 10 Minute Power Hour and Game Grumps Live Streams taking up much of their schedule, Ghoul Grumps had been relegated to a single episode, angering some fans enough to send negative feedback onto other videos, including on one of Ninja Sex Party's newest videos at the time. On November 6th, 2018, Arin posted a video on the channel apologizing for forgetting the series, and promised to make up for it with a horror-themed Jingle Grumps this year.

Arin kept his promise, and on December 11th, the Game Grumps debuted Ghoul Grumps: Nightmare Before Christmas as a way for him to make up for forgetting about Ghoul Grumps in October until the last minute. It debuted with the horror game Granny.

On September 12th, 2019, Arin confirmed in Is Ghoul Grumps happening!? on The Grumps channel that the 2019 Ghoul Grumps will happen in October as normal meaning that Ghoul Grumps: Nightmare Before Christmas was a one-off event however it returned in December 2023

Trivia[]

  • The Grump Heads for Ghoul Grumps: Nightmare Before Christmas are based on the two faces of the Mayor of Halloween Town, from the Disney film Nightmare Before Christmas. The logo was designed by Brady Hartel, along with some assistance from Jonathan Kim, both of whom are artists at Lab Zero Games. Art for the branding was also provided by regular contributors TopSpinTheFuzzy and Krooked_Glasses. [1]
  • As of the first episode of Pacify in 2020, the Ghoul Grump Heads changed where Arin is now a bat and Dan is a werewolf. Previously, from the spin-off's inception, their heads were Frankenraptor and BLEHnny.
  • Starting in 2023, Ghoul Grumps is the whole month of October except Mondays.
  • The Game Grumps revived Ghoul Grumps: Nightmare Before Christmas in December 2023.
