Director: Kevin Peaty
A Halloween robbery goes sideways for a crew of reformed criminals when their target turns out to be something considerably less human than expected.
What is The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist about?
This short animated feature catches the crew mid-heist on Halloween night, only for the job to collide with a supernatural threat none of them saw coming. What starts as a straightforward score turns into a scramble for survival as the gang, used to outsmarting cops and rival thieves, finds itself outmatched by an enemy that doesn't play by any rules they know. The mismatch between their street smarts and something genuinely otherworldly drives both the scares and the jokes, as the crew leans on teamwork to get out of a house that clearly wants to keep them.
Cast & crew
Voice work comes from Michael Godere, Ezekiel Ajeigbe, Raul Ceballos, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Mallory Low, with Kevin Peaty directing.
Context & significance
The short extends the world introduced in the main Bad Guys franchise, keeping its heist-crew premise but swapping the usual human targets for a haunted-house scenario built for the Halloween season. At twenty-five minutes, it plays as a quick side story rather than a full sequel, aimed at fans who want one more outing with the same characters in a spookier setting. The tone stays close to the franchise's mix of caper energy and family-friendly comedy, even as the setting turns considerably darker, and the shorter runtime keeps the pacing brisk from the opening break-in to the final escape.
