Loved the The Devil and Daniel Mouse, great ending though I always felt Nermia Daikon Brothers put it best "music can be the cure, for the heart that ain't so pure"
Well, at least regarding the Disney version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I did notice something interesting: despite having a huge appetite and eating a lot, Ichabod stayed really skinny and never even got a bloated stomach. That reminded me of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, and it was stated in one movie that Shaggy has a high metabolism. Because of that I think that at least the Disney Ichabod wasn't gluttonous, he just had a high metabolism and needed to eat that much just to stay alive. So maybe he aimed for marrying someone wealthy because he wanted to always be able to afford large meals - survival instincts, to sum it up - rather than being a gold digger. Or maybe it was both survival instincts and him being a gold digger. Who knows.
@@sarah98917 They did do a Headless Horseman episode of The Scooby Doo Show. It's called The Headless Horseman of Halloween, and it actually features the Crane family (apparently in that world Ichabod Crane managed to marry Katrina and have kids with her before being chased by the Horseman).
Oh boy! I always love me some CR videos. The audio balance isn't so great (aka some clips are really quiet) but this was a fun watch. Ah, that nice combination of informative and funny. It keeps me coming back. The Devil and Daniel Mouse looks pretty good. Might try to find that one. Aaaugh! That Johnny Quest CGI is the scariest thing I've seen all month.
I love watching your Holiday Specials about long forgotten, or unknown gems. I always have a sense of nostalgia, and uplifted spirits when someone other then me remember a lot of these. The sad part it is time to start buying or downloading a digital collection of all those VHS classics. Soon they will all decay...
Grew up with Witches Night Out, still watch it now with my niece and nephews. That and what it used to generally be showed in conjunction with the halloween that almost wasn't, my mother recorded them for us on VHS and they are now on TH-cam. Don't know why those have been retired from reruns they are still so fricken great.
'It was even hosted by the master of darkness himself...Mike Eisner.' XD Did you ever read the Outland strips? It was a sequel to the 1980s Bloom County strip, and it made fun of Eisner.
I remember seeing that Disney Halloween special as a kid! (According to Wikipedia, it was aired Oct. 30th, 1977, so I would have been five years and four days old.) Apparently, the head-swap is only for Halloween, so Jack can go out and enjoy it like he used to, and Jonathan's happy to let him have that.
For 'The Last Halloween" The animation was done by PDI the same studio that would later make Shrek (They also made that Homer^3 special in 1995 as well) and Hanna-Barbara produced the special with Mars.
Love the picture of Webby as Jason and Mrs. Beakley as Mrs. Voorhees and Peg in the background in with devil horns and tail walking Pistol in the Charlie Brown ghost costume!
@@MWolfL That's not a real theory. I was just pointing out that Brom Bones from this video's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow looks like Big Bob in my first comment.
I loved Disney's Halloween Treat, I watched it when I was a little boy in 1995, as I remembered first seeing it. I watched the part as magic mirror tells about the disney villian and fades away when Madam Medusa starts shooting. :) By the way I like this review. keep up the triple good good good work.
I love how different 'Jack-O-Lantern' is from the source material. The original tale differs but it inolves a blacksmith named 'Stingy Jack' who was the town drunk and just an overall douce, when Jack dies the Devil comes to take Jack to hell. Jack tricks the devil (which can be Jack sealing the devil with a cross carved into a tree or turning him into a coin) and getting a second chance at life. Jack doesn't change his ways and when he dies again he can't get into heaven, so he wanders the void for a while before going back to hell. The devil curses Jack with a coal of hellfire and turns him into a monster nobody would ever mistake for a normal spirit. Depending on which version you hear Jack either becomes a guide for spirits on Halloween, stays his normal drunken gambling self, or straight up becomes a malicious monster who lures people into the forest with his light and pumpkin head so he can eat them. Its one of my favorite Halloween stories and its an underrated one too, and its a hell of alot cooler than a leprechaun who lives in a pumpkin as a scarecrow.
Dude, where do you FIND this stuff? Your list are pretty decent but your VHS collection must be FRIGGING HUGE!!!! I hadn't even HEARD of some of these! Thanks for another awesome list. Good job
freeze frame of smug foresight is one of those old things all shows used to do that were eventually forgotten....deep breath.....that need to come back
Honestly, I really like the Invader Zim Halloween special, but it’s also SUPER weird. The plot? Dib and Zim get stuck in a nightmare world that exists in Dib’s mind on Halloween. The two run from monsters, but find out that the monsters want to get to the human world to cause chaos or whatever. The portal to it is inside of Dib’s head, and because he has the crazy collar (it’s a silver and red collar that deemed him crazy) the monsters realize he’s the one with the portal. After running, in a moment of survival instinct and a will to live, Dib RIPS the collar off and SLAMS it on Zim, throwing him to the monsters and using him as a sacrifice. He realizes that they can’t get home without the portal, so blah blah blah they escape and it gets all gross and Zim breaks his spine. Just some spooky Halloween fun, right? Right…?
Bauhaus sampled some dialogue from The Devil and Daniel Mouse in one of their deep cuts, Party of the First Part. It's a bonus track on a reissue of their third record, I'm not sure when it was originally released. I never listened to the bonus tracks until recently and, having seen this video a bunch, got a such a weird sense of deja vu once the song started.
Marc Summers was actually a professional magician. It's too bad he didn't perform in the special. But I'm sure he had the connections that made the special happen.
Revisiting some fun videos from yesteryear... "Headless Gym Coach", classic. Having said that, I like having these more odd and obscure Halloween specials get some attention, makes the Spooky Season more fun.
Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered that Marc Summers special. Does anyone else remember a short comic starring the aliens from The Last Halloween in an issue of Disney Adventure Magazine? It was drawn and written by John Blair Moore and was more or less an advertising device for M&Ms, Snickers and other Mars Candy.
That wasn't The New Adventures of Johnny Quest at the end, it was The Real Adventures of Johhny Quest. Two totally different shows. Good list though. Always a treat to see a new video.
so with nowhere to go he hollowed out a turnip and carved a face into and placed a candle in it to act as a lantern and he now wanders the world to find a place to rest in peace using the lantern to guide him through the cruelly cold nights. their are variations on the story but this is the one I like the most. (he also night have been called jack)
I was just remembering an old 80s or 90s era movie non-CGI movie about aliens that keep blending in with trick or treeters. It was too raunchy for my mom to let me see it but if any one remembers it, toss the suggestion to Doug Walker.
Hanna-Barbera may have also done the CGI on the extremely-obscure The Moxy Show, CN's first original program. Maybe you could make that your next episode...
Fun fact: that rule regarding witches he mentioned is not actually a rule but a (very) commonly used trope known as "The Hecate Sisters." tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheHecateSisters
the story of the original jack o lantern goes like this. Their was a lazy farmer who was basically a total jerk who one night discovered that a devil was in his barn. So he got a cross and pitch fork and corned the devil. He said that he would only let the devil leave alive if the devil would agree to deny his soul to enter hell when he died, the devil agreed to the terms. When the man died and as he approached the gates of heaven he was denied entry since he was such a lazy and foul old man
"Witch's Night Out" seemed to run more in the US instead of "The Gift of Winter"... It seems that this Jack O'Lantern must've inspired the Grand Pumpkin on "The Simpsons"...only I don't think this scarecrow was looking for revenge on people making food with pumpkins... Welp, not the first rock musical to play around with "Faust"...though I wonder if "The Devil and Daniel Mouse" inspired "The Apple" somewhat. A Canadian singing duo as Adam and Eve stand-ins with the girl tempted by a music promoter who is literally the Devil and becomes a flashy rock star...that's TOTALLY what happens.
1991’s “The Last Halloween” was a prime time Emmy winner! Nice!
"The Headless Gym Coach?"
Sounds like the title for a Goosebumps title.
QUICK! *CALL JACK BLACK!*
Oh shit, it does!
Considering Chad is a Goosebumps fan, that's probably where he got the idea.
I would have watched that one out of curiosity.
Cause a Goosebumps title don't stop! 😉🎃
"He ain't messin with no broke Quaker" cracked me the fuck up.
i swear.. that "you dont know jack" thing? best editing ever.
Figured this would be helpful:
1:03 Witch's Night Out
3:44 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1972)
6:31 Jack O'Lantern
9:36 The Devil and Daniel Mouse
12:10 Disney's Halloween Hall-O-Fame
15:29 Marc Summer's Magical Mystery Tour
18:38 The Last Halloween
Thanks!
CR, you're my favorite.
The Devil and Daniel Mouse.
There needs to be more cartoons like this.
Watching these has become a tradition for me. I then check out the specials as well🎃
That has got to be the cutest title card ever X3
Webbie Vorheez and Pistol Brown are just adorable! Bravo to you! I loved the Devil and Daniel Mouse. The concert parodies just warmed my heart.
Just remembered "the scary godmother" is another good halloween movie. It's pretty tame in terms of horror, but a nice nod to halloween.
Loved the The Devil and Daniel Mouse, great ending though I always felt Nermia Daikon Brothers put it best "music can be the cure, for the heart that ain't so pure"
I remember watching The Devil And Daniel Mouse on TV.
I love your lists specially the weird/forgotten movies/specials :D!!
Omg Witches night out is another one I have been looking for. 😺 Thanks again.😺

Mayhe Shaggy is a descendant of Ichabod Crane (side note: Why HAVEN'T THEY DONE A HEADLESS HORSEMAN SCOOBY DOO FILM!?)

OHHH MYY GOOODD!! A NEW ONE!~!! I LOVE YOUOOOU!
It's that time of year again! This actually has become one of the Halloween specials I watch every season.
The Vampire Medusa looks something you would see in Devilman
1:52 "I can't believe our dollar-store-quality masks aren't fooling anyone!" :)
Hooray! Tis the season to watch this again. It has become a Halloween tradition for me.
It's early September but close enough! Time to watch this amazing Halloween tradition. "Brom boner" never gets old 🤣🤣🤣

I've been waiting all year to watch this again!
He tries to arrest him...self.
Uh oh, freeze frame of smug for sight..😂
Great googly, moogly!
I now remember watching "The Last Halloween" "Jack O Lantern" and "Witch's Night Out" when I was a kid! O_O

5:18 Speaking of Hey Arnold, apperently the Patakis were decended from Brom Bones?
I never heard of that theory before, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true since it would explain a lot about Bob Pataki....
@@MWolfL That's not a real theory. I was just pointing out that Brom Bones from this video's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow looks like Big Bob in my first comment.
Jack: I'm the hero halloween deserves, but not the one it needs.
Oh man...I remember that first one, loved it so much as a kid.
yeah, no real witch would be caught dead riding a broom, they're all riding swiffer sweepers now
love the memories your videos bring to mind. I'm all warm and fuzzy
Are you gonna make a new Halloween special CR????

Rewatching in advance of your 2024 countdown!
that friday the 13th ducktales thing is amazing.
I liked witch's night out and Marc Summers' magical mystery tour as kid - such memories.

Can you tell me the name of the company that made the #12 Sleepy Hollow so that I can track it down.
Hey, that hanging skeleton's on the financial aid door at my college!
Marc Summers was actually a professional magician. It's too bad he didn't perform in the special. But I'm sure he had the connections that made the special happen.
Hey, CR! Are we going to see this on TGWTG?

Thank you! I think I saw #13 once as a kid but couldn't remember what it was called!

That wasn't The New Adventures of Johnny Quest at the end, it was The Real Adventures of Johhny Quest. Two totally different shows.
Good list though. Always a treat to see a new video.
The Halloween season doesn't officially start for me until I watch Halloween Is Grinch Night. Sour Sweet Wind FTW.
Oh God, the New Adventures of Johnny Quest. That show, man.

Unexpected guest? It's not just the title that has me intrigued
for #8 the actor who was on where his suit case opened, was that the same actor who played Gomez Adams?
What is the music that plays inbetween the specials?
"Spooky Scherzo" by Sam Fonteyn
18:05 MOUNTAIN GOAT TO THE COUCH
You're right. Also that witch/warlock/whateverheis at 8:54 kinda looks like the Boogeyman from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
What’s the name of that song in the background during the title card

Does anyone else yell out "SCIENCE" whenever CR says 'science'?

Does anyone know where to find the Legend of Sleepy Hollow short

That would be interesting to see
15:56 "Oh Piss Off!" XD
8:22 They started with gourds and switched to pumpkins. Turnips wouldn't have been large enough to hold the candles they were using.
I still enjoy watching Marc Summers’ Magical Mystery Tour annually
I’m a sucker for stage magic particularly that of Tina Lenert
Yes, dude, I *would* like to see adults running around in silly costumes. That shit is all over my radar.
umm wasent mozenrath voiced by jonathan brandis and not mark summers?
he reminds me of AVGN except not angry :)
And not video game. Just N.
He actually does sound like James Rolfe at certain points.
17:17 Hello, Gomez Adams.
Why the picture of webby and beakly? Misleading no?
Man, I bet if anyone saw Pete's wife walking down the street on Halloween with her little girl that would turn a few heads!
They had Jon Astin in a Halloween special, and wated him.
There are no words.

Who was Webbie dressed as?
