Now that Halloween is about a month away, I'm wondering if anyone has some good recommendations for Halloween or Thanksgiving cartoons. I have the Charlie Brown shows, but I'm curious if anyone can recommend any others that might exist...

Thanks!

I know a couple of cartoons that celebrated holidays, Gargoyles "Eye of The Beholder" it was a Halloween episode, 101 Dalmatians "A Christmas Cruella", Alvin & The Chipmunks "Alvins Christmas Carol" they also made a Thanksgiving episode and their halloween episode I think is "Nightmare on Selville Street". I don't know if this is what you meant, if not sorry, but also I know your a Mindy Cohn fan and there will be a new Scooby Doo Christmas Special this December airing on primetime. She is the voice of Velma as you know already. :wave:

If you can find it, the "Fat Albert Halloween Special" was pretty good. I don't think it's been broadcast for a while, so I don't know if it is available on video.

Any Arthur one will do. :D

I remeber seeing quite a good Casper Haloween show a few years ago called "Casper saves Haloween" or something like that. It was made by Hanna Barbera.

Wait, I remember a really old and obscure one.
"The Halloween That Almost Wasn't." made in the very late seventies/early eighties I would say...
It was a live action special with Judd Hirsch (Taxi) as Dracula and Mariette Hartley as a witch. It also featured other famous Halloween icons like Frankenstein's Monster and the Mummy, but it was strictly played for laughs.

It was very funny.

I just remembered another Hanna Barbera Haloween cartoon, I think it was called The Haloween Tree, I think it was quite good.

Arnold's Halloween is a cool special. I don't know if it's avaliable on VHS or DVD though.

Is that the one with Ted E. Bear? I do agree with you that Fat Albert's Halloween was great. I haven't seen that in years.
