Your favorite Halloween shows and films

#1

I think the most memorable for me are Disney's Halloween Treat - a series of condensed clips from other works, Garfield's Halloween Adventure, and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Are You Afraid of the Dark? is also a classic creep-out show which is always appropriate, sort of being the kids' version of Tales from the Crypt or Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
A Nightmare Before Christmas
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (I still count it as a Halloween movie - it practically is)
Grave Encounters
Ghostbusters

God I know there's some more but I'm drawing a total blank. I like watching the classics, like the original Dracula and Frankenstein.

Nightmare Before Christmas and Young Frankenstein for sure

The Nightmare Before Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown are the only Halloween-themed ones Val can think of. Though he also enjoys regular ol' horror flicks. Romero's Dead films are the best.

'Gravity Falls' is good just in general, but certain eps are particularly well-suited to the holiday-------"Summer-Ween", "The Inconveniencing" and "Scary-Oke" spring to mind.

As far as movies go, I really like them old Universal monster movies. Especially 'Dracula' and 'The Invisible Man'. Ooh, and 'Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein'.

So I like 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown', but much more because of Snoopy's WWI fantasy than anything else. Snoopy is the best.

Watched 'Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein' earlier for the first time in ages. Man, that's a good time, right there.

(EDIT: Incidentally, I've watched ^^that Snoopy video about a hundred times since I posted it, and the one part that kills me every time is when Snoopy looks around all mortified after he howls during Schroder's fourth song------it's too dang cute for words.
