“Wizards of Waverly Place” S3 E2:

The “Wizards of Waverly Place,” Disney’s iconic family of wizards, take haunted to new heights. In their 2009 Halloween flavored episode, the Russos are told their haunted house is not scary enough, and an effort, to add that extra “scream” factor, they bring in real ghosts.
