I love how true to form everyone is in picking their teams. Andy goes for the most gothic, dramatic characters; Ellen picks the adventurers; and Mike sees someone with the same fashion sense as him and goes "yes good".
Ellen has Grandpa Indy Jones and that one lady from Uncharted
disapointed in Andy, of all people, for missing the spooky potential in the fact that when there's just one it's a DIE
In British English, it's still a dice.
@@thembill8246 I didn't know that. It annoys me that in Super Mario Party they are called a dice block. I guess that is why they never reacted when playing it.
@@thembill8246 I am British, it's a die
@@adambicknell9185 it's either, in fact. The OED says that the word dice can be singular or plural. In fact, it says that the usage of die as singular is becoming increasingly uncommon.
Dictionary definitions are based on usage, and the usage is that dice as singular is not only acceptable, but becoming the standard.
@@thembill8246 I'm going to sort of thank you and sort of apologise. I think my previous reply was needlessly blunt and actually a little rude.
Obviously, like most people, I don't check up on what the dictionary's are saying with any frequency but I would have to assume that the OED decided Dice as a singular was acceptable relatively recently (with the term relatively recently here being almost meaningless)
24:55 Oh no, there's been a terrible Axe-ident!
👻 booo!! 👻
Kind of reminds me of the games 13 Dead End Drive, and Mousetrap combined
rip madame spooks 🪦
So intense!
I have to track this game down now.
I don't know about this Count Spooksalot, he repeatedly drops the ball...
I definitely see 'Count Spooksalot' as Luke's ghost name 🙂
Boooo! Boo...
He like that ghost in Adventure Time who was addicted to "drop ball:.
BOOOOOOOO!
Bo0oOo0oOoo0o0oOoOooO!
Can we show some love for Andy? He has been on pretty much every Halloween related video on both channels this year, what a spooky legend 👻
He's actually dead and nobody can see him but you.
I figured Andy enjoys it because he loves Halloween. :p
@@AdrianColley He is in death as he was in life: obsessed with spooky media
@@marhawkman303 Oh, he really does love it. But those are a lot of streams in a row, regardless! He is 100% powered by enthusiasm and vampire crumpets this year
@@penguingonemad "Vampire crumpets" is my new favourite YA fiction subcategory.
Andy's evil laugh is A tier
That's a nicely put-together game, and kudos on the excellent camerawork and editing that really showcased the whole experience.
for extra fun you could make a print-and-play version that doesn't need all the mechanical parts. for the move dice 5=4 and 6=ghost. To figure which trap just roll a d4.
Editors/producers deserve a special credit on this one. Very well done with the multiple angles. We need a vid highlighting you.
Producer Jon is mentioned quite a lot, he is usually the cameraman, and then the presenters also edit. Not sure whose turn it was to edit this one but their work was on point!
@@SevCaswell mentioned yeah. I mean no disrespect. Just wanna acknowledge these folks. They deserve it.
@@SevCaswell Cameraman James gets mentions too and even his own series back in the early days (thematically fitting for Halloween, actually 🤔). Just had less of him over the covid times 😢
Especially sneaking in the portrait of Vigo @21:53 ... that was amazing!
Clearly Eggbert's relentless belief in the non-existence of ghosts helped Mike in this game.
“Grandpa Indiana Jones” So… just Indiana Jones then.
God, if I'd gone to sleep in 2011 and woke up to THIS *gestures at everything* I'd be pretty mad too
"Wow, looks like democracy is springing forward in the middle east! Social media platforms are becoming a real force for good in the world. I'll take a rest and see what develops from this!"
This really started with "The News" vibes, then Andy went all "Tales of The Crypt" and lightning happened.
Can we talk about colour-inverted Andy with a blonde beard because holy shit.
He can't go without.
I can't believe the ghost of Luke murdered iCarly like that!
They probably killed him for winning in Mario party yesterday.
Adoring Ellen’s seasonally-appropriate yet fashionable top! Also the artwork on this board game :O
Also Mike’s “Ellen!” every time Ellen rolls a ghost.
But no love for Andy's Halloween shirt?
@@MrFutago87 I see many comments giving Andy love for his shirt; I wanted to give Ellen some love.
And Mike’s….ghastly…white…..grey…off-white…spooooky shirt?
I had this as a kid but it was a different version which used a glow-in-the-dark skull rather than a ball to trigger the traps. The player characters were Scooby-Doo-style cartoon teens / kids rather than photograph people. A quick google suggests that the Oxboxtra-ers are playing the modern version of the game, whereas I'm remembering the 1985 version... My bones hurt *so* much...
@@jollybluecalla Me too!
The glow-in-the-dark skull with red eyes is my enduring memory of this game (along with the awesome artwork that was wonderfully creepy to my five or six-year-old self in the early 90s), and it's sorely missed in this version. Frankly, I reckon most board games would be improved by the addition of a glow-in-the-dark skull with red eyes.
I had this as well, though it's been so damaged over the years that it's unplayable. You also had to go up through the house rather than down it.
I had that same version! And there was a mechanic whereby your character became "scared" (put on a scared face mask) and could then only move one step until they managed to remove it. I loved that game! Though I feel that we're showing our age here..
Also the goal was to get to the top of the stairs, not to escape out of the castle. Also I don't remember it being teams in the original version.
Ah the spiritual sequel to mousetrap has finally arrived
'spiritual' being the key word there...
It finally arrived 54 years ago*. Ghostcastle was originally called Which Witch and released in 1970, then re-released as Ghostcastle in 1985, and now we have the modern version.
I felt sorry for Andy and his petard.
What a pain in the axe that must of been.
A petard is a kind of early grenade.
This whole time I was just picturing them as their Blades in the Dark characters and thought it was perfectly fine that Lilith the Whisperer kept rolling so many ghosts near the start.
You're a kid now, you're a squid now.
Luke's a host now, Luke's a ghost now
“It doesn’t say the “mwa ha ha”, no..” 😂
Reminds me a bit of 1313 dead-end drive, the main difference being you're trying to off the others for an inheritance along with escaping
I loved that game as a kid, so many traps!
That game was one of my favorites.
I’m confused, does staircase count as a danger zone and require an activation? Or was it decided that watching 50 turns of people falling down stairs would be no fun?
It doesn't have red footprints, so I figure it's not a danger zone. The players are certainly IN danger while they're on the stairs, but it doesn't require anyone to unleash the spooky marble.
I think it is its just whoever produced this game didn't print the red zones on the plastic or were going to include stickers but the stickers never got made
I think the staircase has a red outline in lieu of red footprints because it's made of plastic rather than cardboard.
@@Amaritudine Yeah, the original 1970 version didn't have the rule to trigger the ghost when landing on a red space. But it's highly different, as in the original... you go the other way. Yeah the 1970 version the goal was not to escape the ghost but to seal it away. so you went through a similar board layout, but in the opposite direction. Hmmm I don't think we can fully extrapolate without a copy of the rules to the 2020 version. Which I could not find when I tried looking.
From what I remember having looked at a PDF of the rules, if anyone ends on the stairs, they need to trigger the ghost. Additionally, it seems that only one of your characters can be moved while the other is on the stairs.
"The Stairs are old and crumbling so your first pawn must make it all the way down the Stairs and
onto a space on the Laboratory floor BEFORE you can move your second pawn from behind the
white Start line.
• If your pawn ends its move on a space that is already occupied by another pawn, it jumps forward
to the next available space.
• If your pawn ends its move on a step on the Stairs or on a Red space (the ‘Danger Zone’ spaces)
then you must immediately drop the Ball into the Chimney as part of your turn - see DROPPING
THE BALL. "
Nice touch, editor, with the addition of the Wilhelm Scream and other sound effects upon the ghostening. Wonderful production value as I’ve come to expect
God i missed that opening title so much
I'll be singing that all day
Hell yeah
Sometimes when I don’t have time to watch the whole video I make sure to just drop a like and catch the “Show of the Weekend” opening song for the nostalgia serotonin release
I was expecting Ellen to lose, given that she had Julianna from Deathloop.
16:40 Oh Mike's "stick together" strategy backfired LOL RELOAD THE GHOST!!!
27:47 this is how you could tell a board game is getting intense, everyone is standing up lol.
I like Ellen's theory that Andy subconsciously WANTS to live in Necropolis-on-Sea forever, haha.
I just got this game a few weeks ago myself, so cool to see you guys play it! Although you were supposed to “trigger” the ghost every time a character landed on the stairs ;) because of that my friend and I were stuck in that first room for a long time haha
Also, if you roll the ghost and no one is in the danger zone, you get to roll again!
"Alright Ellen it's your channel" you heard the man Luke Ellen is now your boss rofl
this comment just does not have enough likes! count me as the first!
I'm amazed The Ellen finished, considering she got nothing but ones and ghosts for the first half of the game.
*The Ellen??* XD
just shows how bad Andy's luck was on the traps. it took him forever to get out of the library
@@mar_speedman there can be only one!
I definitely meant to type "that", but I will stand by this one!
With how much Monty Mole gets picked on, I am happy to see Mike win this!
The reason Luke became a ghost is everyone finally went and killed him for winning in Mario Party last night
This was so much fun! Genuinely enjoy when you guys do board games together, and Andy's spooky voice acting is top notch. Congrats to Mike for the win, and good game all (Andy definitely secretly wanted to be stuck in the haunted mansion)
Andy missed a perfect opportunity to call the Ball Randomizer the Ball Twister.
They all missed it. I am sad now.
@Jmt1000 the Mario Golf SuperRush videos.
Andy would be great hosting a kids spooky Halloween show
Andy deadeyes the camera, 'Luke died.' Farrantula would never lie. RIP Westawhat.
The ball was a skull in the version I had in the 80s, but it wouldn’t roll very well so I’m not surprised they changed it.
I like how literally after the second turn they forgot if someone went on the stairs to trigger Count Spooksalot
So... a team of paranormal investigators are inspecting a haunted dwelling, then have to flee for their lives when the resident spirit locks them in and tries to harm them? This game's lore is very Phasmophobia-esque.
I have a feeling if Jane played this she would have purposfully rolled for a ghost to kill all the players
I have the version of that game from about 86-88. The look of it was a raw ruin with no fancy decor but loads of creepy atmos and spooky critters. You had to get Into the castle attic and close a coffin to calm the ghost. Ther were Fright masks you'd have to punt on your charecter when you landed on Fright space, because you had a spining board with and arrow instead of a dice, and you'd have to spin a new mask befor you could move again. Also it was a skull not a ball going down the shoots, and because 80's it was a glow in the dark skull/footsteps/bats and creepy-eyes on the board.
I must have spend days playing this game in youthclub or at home.
I'm a 37-year-old adult male watching three other adults play a kids board game. That should be weird but somehow it's not LOL. I am sad Hallowstream 2021 is almost over though.
that just means their christmas challenges are getting ever closer and THAT'S what i REALLY look forward to every year since i found them in at the end of 2019
Count Spooks-a-lot should sell coffee and call it Count Spooks-a-latte.
That was really fun, thanks everyone! PS Ellen, my wife loves your top.
Andy: Would you like the hear the lore?
Ellen: YES!!!
Mike: ...keep it brief.
😂🤣
Petition for an Andy short where he recites Haunted Mansion quotes at us.
The first version of this came out in 1970 as Which Witch. This is an interesting remake of the one from the 80s. in the 80's one you travel to the top of the castle to close a ghost in a coffin and win, but in this one you start at the top and try to make your way down to escape. i guess it's a sequel?
A game invented in the 70s, made of cardboard, and it has better checkpointing than a lot of modern videogames.
LMAO! SO TRUE! modern game designers whose games tend to feature such things REALLY need to play this game and compare it to their own games checkpointing, expecially if it's a game where only a true master (or cheater) can get any real distance without multiple deaths as the player 'learns' the way the AI is programmed (looking at you dark souls and similar games)
God, that “Wait, there’s more” picture is actually scary
21:53 Mega props to the editor for making that transition as slick as it is.
🎵Show of the Spookend, Show of the Spookend!🎵
I've still got my original version of this! Obviously this looks a lot fancier than the 80's version, but only a ball to set off the traps?! In the original there was a coffin on the top which you dropped in a glow-in-the-dark skull!
This version is different, in the original you had to make it to the top of the castle, not start at the top and try to escape.
6:45 Grampa Indiana Jones reliving the giant boulder scene from his first movie.
I vaguely remember finding this in a charity shop presumably incomplete, all I really remember is the plastic staircase honestly
I had idea this game existed! It's brilliant!!! I would have loved it sooooo much has a kid!!!! Thank you guys for playing this, I loved this sooo much!!!
There was no reason to add so many angles and editing
And I'm so glad that was done
it made it even easier for us to follow along but it WAS extra work on their part that plenty of people wouldn't have gone to.
I used to absolutely adore this game!!! So happy it's making a resurgence
Whoever edited in all those Wilhelm screams is an absolute champion XD
Mousetrap with ghosts? Sounds cheesy but spooky.
Everyone's effort really shows in this video, seriously impressive and entertaining stuff. The angles, the dramatic zooms and slow-downs, the sound effects, add so much to the already fun time you are guaranteed to have with these beautiful souls. Thank you!
On the topic of board games, did anyone else have the utterly incomprehensible Knightmare board game? Only vague references to the TV show that spawned it, and rules that required at least an IQ of 150 to really grasp. To add insult to injury, to win you must answer a riddle from the enclosed book, all of which baffled nine-year-old me (and probably would continue to baffle my current 36-year-old incarnation).
IQ? The TV show IQ hosted Stephen Fry it does have a licensed board game but I've never played it
3:37 "And the other one is iCarly". I dunno, is it just me or does that look a lot like Jane?
Phasmophobia: The Board Game?
That scream at the start as Ellen's piece got hit was hilarious!!
3:12 his deal is "Voodoo Pimp".
crow crow *fart noise* crow
How is this mmore entertaining than Dice Breaker playing RE-The board Game? Also, whoever does the wilhem scream is nailing it
I love the board game videos! They're a nice change of pace
I love these board game shows! I hope we might see another for Oxboxmas. :3
Congrats Little Mike and iCarly! Hope the Madame enjoys her stay. 👻
"I reload the ghost" Borderlands 2 had a ghost gun, right?
So Andy picked the most occult looking characters, Ellen picked the most tomb raider looking characters, and Mike picked himself. Seems right
Trap is sprung....Andy gets knocked over...
Andy/Mike: NOOO!
Ellen: YAAAAAY!
Ruthless.
This was SO much fun, PLEASE do more old board games. The Green Ghost Game, or The Slime Monster Game would be the best!
Crow Mid, Mid, Crow,*fart noise*, Scare, Crow. Andy did not Escape from Horrorland:The Board Game!!
The sound editor/music person killed it with this video
I remember the 80's version having a glow in the dark skull in place of a ball. Not sure you'd be able to play in the dark and the skull definitely got stuck in the shoot 60% of the time, the ball is a definate improvement!
While finding out you have been asleep for a decade is bad, finding out you have been asleep for a decade and awakening in 2021 is horrible
This was great fun, am looking to buy the game myself now for our next family game night.
Next year can we please get an Atmosphere let's play?
“My strong son icarly” 😂😂
Haha, I got a really old version of this in Swedish. Spökslottet, which is Ghost Caslte directly translated.
So this is an updated version. I prefer just a die instead of the die and spinner. However the old version's art style is better in my opinion. Since I prefer the less cartoony style.
Still nice productions for a classic game from my childhood.
The preteen investigators were the first to escape. Coincidence? I think not!
I vaguely remember playing a much older version of this, but I'm sure you occasionally put little 'scared' masks on the counters for some reason.
No wonder Count Spooksalot is so angry, I'd be annoyed too if I had to spend every day with a ball up my chuffwagon
I totally missed out on this game growing up but I'm 100% getting this to play with my kids.
Wait. Weren't the stairs considered "red spots" n required a ghost press each time someone stopped there? Too much killin so it was fudged or what?
So, Luke is trapped in a castle? Thus is his metamorphosis into Princess Peach complete...
Mike and Miranda Cosgrove exploring a haunted house but it’s funny instead of spooky sounds peak movie
If you'll excuse me, I am going to write some count spooksalot and madame spooks fan fiction 🤣
I was JUST thinking I hoped I would see some more board games on the channel! Yay!
Ellen's female pawn character reminds me of Julia from Deathloop.
Ellen putting all that Fear Academy training to good use rolling all those ghosts🤣
RIP Madame Spooks
RIP Madam Spooks
Andy's shirt is just *Chef's Kiss*
No, it's pumpkins and ghosts
Who dislikes this? Granted the ratio is literally being shown to me as 1000 to 3 but it's like... if you dislike this you would seem to dislike the concept of joy itself.
