Holidays, especially Halloween, are marked by traditions. Watching TV cartoon specials is a yearly tradition.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown​

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
United Feature Syndicate Inc.
I don't care how old you are, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is the best Halloween cartoon you will ever see. It remains a classic after decades of viewing. Many consider it to be the quintessential kick-off to Halloween. Poor Charlie Brown learns the ins and outs of being spooked on Halloween, all while Linus is waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear.


The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror​

Hex and the City - Treehouse of Horror XII

Hex and the City - Treehouse of Horror XII. Twentieth Century Fox
The "Treehouse of Horror" episodes of The Simpsons are some of my all-time favorite Halloween specials. This DVD includes "Treehouse of Horror V," "Treehouse of Horror VI," "Treehouse of Horror VII" and "Treehouse of Horror XII." There's also a featurette with goofy aliens Kang and Kodos. My favorite vignettes from these episodes are "The Shinning," "Nightmare Cafeteria" and "Wiz Kids" (because I love Harry Potter).


The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad​

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Disney Home Video
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow cartoon that is included on this DVD is a Disney classic. Bing Crosby narrates this funny and spooky story featuring the hilariously scrawny Ichabod and his plump horse. The Headless Horseman is fairly scary, though, so take care watching it with youngsters. The other cartoon included on this DVD is Wind in the Willows. Definitely worth the buying price.


SpongeBob's Halloween Collection​

SpongeBob SquarePants is not just for kids. Spongebob and Patrick scare up a lot of laughs in this hour-long DVD of Halloween episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. The DVD includes "Scaredy Pants," "Imitation Krabs," "Frankendoodle," "I Was a Teenage Gary" and "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost." Most of these spoof Halloween movies, or at least their villains.


South Park: Ghouls, Ghosts and Underpants Gnomes

South Park Picture - Trapper Keeper

These episodes show the strength of humor, which is parodies of pop culture. In one Halloween episode, the band Korn comes to South Park, and ends up helping the boys defend themselves against the fifth graders and some ghosts. Of course, the whole episode is a hilarious take on Scooby Doo. The set also includes two of my favorite South Park episodes of all time: "Underpants Gnomes" and "Trapper Keeper." Scary!


Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: Season One​

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Season One

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Season One. Nickelodeon Home Video

Casper, the Friendly Ghost Collection​

Casper the Friendly Ghost Collection

Casper the Friendly Ghost Collection. Shout! Factory
Casper, the Friendly Ghost was only ever met with screams, but just wanted someone to play with. he was created by Joseph Oriolo, who also revived Felix the Cat for TV. However, Paramount Pictures only paid him $175 for the initial pilot, then went on to make millions from the cartoon. Even with bad blood in his background, Casper is a safe choice to play for little ones at Halloween. The 3-disc DVD set will include all 81 cartoons created between 1945-1963, as well as extensive bonus features.


SpongeBob SquarePants: Ghouls Fools​

This SpongeBob SquarePants DVD collection features a spooky double-length-episode, "Ghoul Fools," where SpongeBob and Patrick find themselves in the middle of a ridiculous feud between a crew of ghost pirates and the Flying Dutchman, plus six more Flying Dutchman episodes that add up to one hauntingly hilarious collection.
