In regards to Max leaving the Grinch, I'm guessing later on he felt sorry for the Grinch being up on the mountain by himself and went back to him out of pity.
Honestly, I rewatched it for the first time in years… and I couldn’t make it past the first few minutes, because Max has a song about how sad he is to be living with the Grinch, and how he remembers being a puppy and thinking about how his mother would be so disappointed in him if she knew who his owner was ☹️😢 Like… no - no, no sad puppies! That’s not what I want from my fun Halloween spook-fest.
Kudos to adding The Scooby Doo Project on this list. I remember watching this specific special as a kid, well to be more precise through the bumpers but I still got a kick out of it. I found the entire thing on RU-vid and the one that still sends a chill down my spine is the one with the Stick Dog which shows up while the characters are calling for Scooby and they're unable to find him. Chilling.
I was thinking "Why are you explaining Twilight Zone Tower of Terror? Don't we all know what it is?" then I realized not everyone is a theme park geek, so carry on.
I do remember the Scooby Doo Project bumpers on Cartoon Network--I especially remember one with Scrappy scaring the crud out of the Gang. I also remember seeing a commercial on Cartoon Network for Night of the Living Doo, and assumed it was some kind of "New Scooby Doo Movie" esque episode. I was half right, not realizing it was actually a stand alone special and parody.
Planning any more Familiar Faces, beyond the specials?. Used to watch them a lot and I like hearing your thoughts on obscure media and minor or one off characters.
I always look forward to your content, especially around Halloween time. Thanks for the effort you always put in, it doesn’t go unnoticed. I’ve been watching your videos since the very beginning. Hard to believe it’s been ten years since you did Claymation Comedy of Horrors, which I rewatched more times than I’m willing to admit. Also: you involuntarily gave me a Slumdog Millionaire flashback when you mentioned Strega Noga.
This has been a terrible week for me so to see a new Halloween special from you has really brighten up my wary soul. Honestly, thank you so much for this and please keep up you wonder work!
I remember seeing The Devil And Daniel Mouse in your original video and I've watched that every six months or so since. So, time to find out what new thing I'm going to be binging for years to come.
Thank you for a new special. I saw some of these specials growing up. I miss when Cartoon Network showcased specials for the holidays. Now they show the same specials over and over again or just have a Teen Titans Go marathon. I am thankful to those who videotaped the specials. I, like many, just assumed they would be on VHS later on. Little did I know. Lastly, nice title card. I love the theming just wishing the Professor and Dave swapped too but that wouldn't fit. Miss Miller's fashions wouldn't suit Professor Utonium....hmmm. Oh well, hope the rest of the year is good to you or gets better.
Thank you for bringing us this magnificently blessed content without you and accidentally running into you because of your previous Powerpuff video and I guess the thumbnail for this one I would never have learned about the cheesy charm that is Katsup Vampires.
6:20: well, the scientist who created the creature was named Victor Frankenstein, so the creature has only had a last name without a 1st one all this time, and Frank Frankenstein would just be stupid, from now on I'm going to call him Steve, because he just kind of looks like a Steve to me.
@@nessesaryschoolthing Well doesn't he become Adam in the book? Also, I've heard Frankenstein refers to Dr Frankenstein because he is the true monster of the story.
Good to see good ol'Chad is still at it, it's like finding that old brand of candy you loved as a kid but haven't had in years and it still tastes good.
Funny you should bring up your Halloween McDonalds toy collection, I just rewatched that video the other day. I've always loved your Halloween content.
I still watch Tower of Tower at least once every halloween. My niece is so obsessed with it she watches it almost constantly on DVD. I'm kind of pissed it's not on Disney +.
A ketchup vampire huh? Sounds like Count Duckula (voice by David Jason), which was an interesting series. Didn't know there's a whole movement of vegetarian vampires in movies though; makes me wonder if there are vegan Werewolves now :)
Fun fact count duckula was a spinoff of danger-mouse (also voiced by david jason) count duckula appeared as a villain in DM first then got his own show
The Dracula commercial kind of makes since. In some versions of the vampire myth, they had to count. In times when people were paranoid about vampires, they planted flowers that would multiply and spread in graveyards.
I actually remember seeing "The Witch Who Turned Pink" when it first came out. Of course, as a kid, I didn't know about the low quality at the time. I still remember what happened to the Pumpkin Gang, though. And as for your artwork, I love the homage to E.D. Thewett's fan-art of the Powerpuff Girls dressed as the Chipettes.
Don't forget forget Ian James Corlett as the mummy lawyer & Jim Byrnes as the grim reaper prosecutor. Y'know what's weird? Corlett is listed as Drac's VA but I swear he's played by Alan Young (OG Scrooge McDuck). Also the vampire dentist on the witness stand sounds alot like Dwight Schutlz (Barclay from TNG).
I really enjoy your videos, especially ones like this recounting strange holiday specials. Learning about specials I hadn't heard of and seeing ones that jog my memory is always a treat. I remember watching Tower of Terror every year when it aired on Disney Channel. The Scooby Doo Blair Witch Project was pretty creepy and unsettling from what I remember too.
6:44 Oh hi Scott McNeil! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he's in this, considering that he's been in other kid-friendly horror like Scary Godmother, Darkstalkers, and that storyline in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation involving vampires.
I remember seeing Monster Mash once on YTV when I was really young. I never saw it since, never remembered the name and wasn't sure if it even existed.
Ketchup vampires! Man, it's been forever... I used to watch that on TV before school on weekdays when I was a kid. However, it must have been a direct translation from the German version here in Sweden. I remember it not being as dumb as its premise and name would suggest. Thanks for this much appreciated present CR. Happy Halloween!
Holy shit, dude, it’s been years since I’ve seen you! The RU-vid algorithm recommended this to me, and I’m shocked. Good to see you still kicking after the Channel Awesome implosion. I have fond memories of your videos!
It's been too long since you had a forgotten holiday specials countdown, glad to have you back. Anyway, out of the specials featured, the only ones I remember seeing were the Scooby-Doo bumpers and The Witch who Turned Pink. Also, Italian animation shouldn't be judged by those animated Titanic movies, from what little Italian animation I've seen it's not that bad.
Also the Ronald Mcdonald films did come from mcdonalds but they didn't come with a happy meal; you could ask to buy one and they were pretty cheap. They also sold some on the klassy csupo site (or at least whoever did the video licensing) to get some, all but the last one (the loch ness one) were sold by mcdonalds. The last one was a really hard to find video until fans found out it had a limited sale from said site. However all of the movies (including the rare last one) are on youtube now.
Damn, this one I probably have seen the most of the specials you talked about already before talking about them. In fact, earlier today I ended up watching the Grinch Halloween special randomly and by sheer coincidence, you cover it in this video.
YOU NEED TO DO MORE VIDEOS MAN. I used to watch you all the time on Nostalgia Critic's site. Do more old series you loved, I like your calm friendly analysis.
I remember those Mcdonald's videos, they were kinda like those burger king video games, they were little cheap videos you could buy on top of your meal. I remember begging my mom for a few, but I thought there were only like 3 of them.
I literally grew up with Lil Creepers. I've been searching for what it was called for YEARS and now you finally helped me find it!!! Thank you!! Thought I dreamed this shit.
The night of the living doo was something i saw online back in 10th grade or so and it was strange. Many of these had nice artstyles so i give those ones a plus. I think the robbers would've looked more mysterious if they didnt remove their masks.
I really enjoy Canterville Ghosts animation style, love to see a kids show go back to that style just to tell short stories. King of like Jim Henson storyteller
