    Halloween Is Grinch Night (titled It's Grinch Night for the 1992 videocassette release and Grinch Night for the sing-a-long videocassette release) is a 1977 Halloween television special and is the prequel to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It premiered on ABC on October 29, 1977. The original voice actor for the Grinch, Boris Karloff, by then deceased, was replaced by Hans Conried, though Thurl Ravenscroft, who sang on the original special, again provided singing vocals. The songs were written by Sesame Street composer Joe Raposo.

As my own ears are rather sensitive too (I can't stand loud, very high- pitched noises, which I guess makes it ironic that I work in an elemwntary school, where hardly a day goes by that I don't hear a child shrilly screaming on the playground or something like that), I can relate.

As I grew up I stopped watching but my nephew ended up loving Mystery Inc and I watched it with him and was blown away, especially because the original Scooby Doo is so formulaic, that seeing it reimagined in a 2 season long story driven narrative was very unexpected and it worked very well for something that wasn't really made with that kind of narrative in mind.

    I wanted to suggest two toons: one that’s kinda Halloween themed and one that isn’t. The former would be the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy episode “Who killed Who?” It’s not scary or horribly dark, but rather a visual analogy; and the payoff of that analogy is beyond worth it; especially considering who they got to guest star on the episode (Betty White). I highly suggest it. The latter I want to suggest is the DuckTales (2017) Season 2 Ep 17: “Happy Birthday Doofus Drake,” to summarize without spoiling much: Doofus Drake tries to kill someone in the episode. Damn.

      You probably don't know this, but Dr. Seuss once wrote and illustrated a book for adults called The Seven Lady Godivas: The True Facts Concerning History's Barest Family. Unfortunately, the book was actually a flop when it first came out in 1939, but eventually grew in popularity once Seuss became more famous.

      Speaking of the Animaniacs, they did some stories which would be good for this series. Like the one where Wakko sells his soul for a Swedish meatball and his brother and sister have to bring him back from the dead. Or the one where they go to Hell (although they call it "Hades") and the first thing we see is Saddam Hussein falling into a lake of lava!

    THis beginning is so good at building up anticipation and tension. You can feel the gearing up, the growing worry and fear. In Christmas, you hear from the narrator why the Grinch is a problem, but the Woos don't seem to take any interest and awareness of him, but in this one, they know him, fear him and prepare for him with dread and concern ( like a returning bandit or a huge destructive storm). The Grinch is someone to fear and I love it

A TV was wheeled in and "Halloween is Grinch Night" played. When Grandpa Josiah sang "I wouldn't go out on a night like this for a dollar and fifty cents," a chorus of kid's voices throughout the cafeteria could be heard saying "I would!" It got louder and more insistent every time the refrain was repeated and the dollar amount increased. It was annoying, but adorable.
