The Scream Team (2002)
Eccentric Frank Carlyle ran a horror shop in small-town Steeple Falls, which takes pride in and profit from its Halloween traditions. Frank's widower grandson Richard grudgingly returns there from Boston with his own kids, bright Ian and bratty Claire, to settle the inheritance. Ian discovers great-grandpa's house is really haunted, and not just, as legend holds, by historic owner Zachariah Kull, who was burned on the stake.

Absolutely the worst movie.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I love this movie, I think that it is fun and lighthearted and perfect for the Halloween Season. I LOVE every single Actor that they chose for the parts. It's very funny and I love the plot line. Usually I think TV movies can be badly acted but this one was great, everyone seemed real, true to life. Over all I highly recommend it if you like fun family comedies, and Halloween movies that don't rely on blood and gore to keep you interested. I love the way the family is portrayed in this movie, and the actors playing Clare, Ian and the Father really seemed to click. You could tell that everyone who made this movie had fun doing it. I think people who like Hocus Pocus will like this movie, it seems to run in the same vein...for me anyway.
The following reviews are from my kids, Christopher (9), Kathleen (7) and Nora (4):"You should watch Scream Team! I liked the four ghosts and all the characters and how they try to help each other. If it ever comes out on video you should get it. I thought it was funny." -Christopher"It was a little scary, but I liked it! It was funny and I liked the end. There was a ghost who threw fireballs, his name was Zachariah. Scream Team was a good movie.""It's really kind of scary and this guy throws fire. I liked it." -NoraOkay, maybe I should worry about Nora and the fire thing. But the movie was very good, very well written and a cut above most tv fare. And I agree with Mary-Kate, having Melissa Hart's company behind it obviously helped propel it to a much higher standard. This movie quickly became a Halloween favorite with our family. Way to go, Disney, and the 'team' behinnd the 'scream'! Hopefully, the DVD is forthcoming...
Okay let me start out by saying that this isn't THE best Disney original Halloween movie (Halloweentown I has my vote), but it comes awfully close. The elements that really bring it together are the three main ghosts: Kathy Najimy, Eric Idle, and Tommy Davidson. They are way too funny! I loved Eric Idle's little jokes ("Oh and where is that, down Sewage Lane?"). The scary part was every time we saw Zachariah Kull. Now he was freaky. Especially in the beginning when the father was telling his kids about him and he looked directly at the camera. All in all, this was a really good Disney original movie. It certainly has the humour, just enough spookiness, and great actors.
Okay so Disney's movies aren't exactly "scary", but this movie is probably the scariest...being compared to both Halloweentown 1, and 2...its great! The cast if funny, and play the parts well. Apparently, they knew what they were doing when they teamed up with Hartbreak Productions (yes, ran by the teenage witch herself, Melissa Joan Hart and mother, Paula Hart. Well thats my 411 on this movie, check it out if ya want. I know I am going to check it out all month. After, all this is October!
