Halloween Specials - What are your favorites?

[hotcheetospuffs]

The Garfield Halloween special always creeped me out big time.

And if anyone has a link to the full Mad Monster Party (stop motion animation from the maker's of Rudolph, Rankin Bass, please post...)

Roseanne always had really good Halloween specials, especially the 'Tunnel of Terror' one.

Charles Schultz was the man, though I think Charlie Brown today would have been seen as a future school shooter for being a loner and depressed

When South Park wasnt basically the Onion

I'm going to join in and announce I'm a big fan of Mad Monster Party. It should be the Halloween equivalent of Rudolph and Frosty, but it isn't because the world is cruel that way. I can't find the full film but here's all the musical numbers:

Spoiler: All the songs from Mad Monster Party

Other Halloween specials I enjoy...

Halloween is Grinch Night, in which Dr. Seuss tried to put the Grinch in another holiday and came up with something completely bonkers:

Plus the Haunted House episode of Ren and Stimpy.

If we included movies I could be here all day.

The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror should be the top deal.

Going through a list of halloween specials that have aired on tv, I remember watching the episodes but nothing stands out in my mind except a scary Claymation movie that had the Monster Mash dance done in the 80s I think, and one particular made for tv movie featuring a music number done by Tim Curry.

I flip on Hocus Pocus and Rocky Horror Picture Show, grab a big bag of candy corn (among the other leftover candy in the bowl), and go to town!

 

[Cthulu]

The old movies like Dracula (1931), Abbot and Costello tbh

I'm so disappointed Grinch Night never caught on like How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I only saw Grinch Night once on TV when I was young, for years after that I thought I just imagined a Grinch Halloween special since nobody else in my class had ever heard of it.

And since nobody else has brought it up yet I am obligated to mention Disney's Halloween Treat.

Not a special per se, just a cartoon adaptation of the Bunnicula series of books (though it's somewhat different from how the character is portrayed in print).

Ah, Bunnicula. The books gave me horrible nightmares.

Even though it's kinda corny, Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School was my shit when I was like 5.

 

[MG 620]

I'm looking forward to the Rat King Halloween meltdown special.

 

[TiggerNits]

Charlie Brown and the old Elvira marathons (her titties were the soundtrack to my puberty)

Many tissues and million of potential children were lost in that era.

I'll try to find the HK spoopy comedy where a skeleton pisses on a guy.
