Spooky Buddies is a 2011 Disney direct-to-DVD comedy film that is part of the Disney Buddies franchise, a series often referred to as the Air Bud and Air Buddies franchise. For the fifth installment in the Air Buddies series, the team has a Halloween adventure in Fernfield. The movie is directed by Robert Vince, produced by Anna McRoberts, and released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on Blu-ray, DVD, and as a movie download on September 20, 2011.
The movie opens in the year 1937 where Sherrif Jim and others from the town of Fernfield set of to the manor of Warwick the Warlock. Warwick has kidnapped five puppies so he can sacrifice them to the Halloween hound, an evil hound who can open a portal to ghosts but only if he has the souls of five puppies of the same blood. One of the puppies, Pip, belongs to a young boy named Joseph. As the mob prepares to storm the manor, the hound kills Pip's siblings, but Pip escapes. Warwick chases her and grabs her just as the mob enters. The Warlock manages to escape just as dawn approaches. Thus, when the hound tries to kill Pip he fails and Pip becomes a ghost. Jim and Deputy Tracker surround Warwick, however he jumps in the mirror and escapes.
75 years later, the Buddies are on a school trip to Warwick's manor with their owners, Alice, Enrique, Pete, Sam and Bartleby. When the class go to the graveyard to see Deputy Tracker's memorial stone, Enrique finds himself scared of the appearance of the gravedigger, Mr. Johnston. Overhearing that the legend says that if you say 'Halloween Hound' three times in front of Warwick's mirror, you would release the Halloween Hound. B-Dawg, who is a "scaredy cat", tries to overcome his fear by doing the legend. Pip the ghost puppy tries to warn the Buddies, but B-Dawg is terrified by Pip's ghost and accidentally completes the reciting. B-Dawg's owner, Enrique hasn't come up with his Halloween projects and decides to do it on Warwick the Warlock. With the help of Sheriff Dan, Enrique borrows Warwick's evidence file and staff. Enrique's mother, Janice, buys Enrique his costume for trick-it-treating, which is a Christmas Story-esque bunny suit, having misheard him saying, "Hip Hop Rabbit", when he meant "Hip Hop Rapper". Enrique goes as Warwick the Warlock and humiliates B-Dawg in the bunny outfit. Enrique meets up with his friends and the Buddies and they go trick-or-treating.
