Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 20th

Scary badass demon rising from the depths of hell from inside a volcano mountain, summoning his minions to play. Pure awesome sauce. 

Halloween Cartoon For Oct. 16th

Here is the original short of Frankenweenie that Tim Burton made while still working at Disney. Of course it's a classic homage to the movie Frankenstein. Starring Barret Oliver, from the Neverending Story and D.A.R.Y.L. They showed this all the time on the Disney Channel. Which is a little weird because Burton was fired from Disney after making this short. They said that he wasted company time, and that it was too scary for kids. Oh but after he branched out on his own, and started making other successful films like Beetlejuice and Batman, Disney couldn't wait to show off Burton's Disney work.

Halloween Cartoon For Oct. 12th

Now this one is't a cartoon, it's a live action special that I grew up watching. It's a 1979 telefilm that aired regularly on the Disney Channel until the late 90's called "The Halloween That Almost Wasn't". It stars Judd Hirsch as Dracula (from Taxi, and Independence Day), Mariette Hartley as The Witch, and Henry Gibson as Igor (from The 'Burbs, and  Innerspace). It's a very stupid and cheesy special, but I can't help at laugh at how dumb it is, mostly for the nostalgia factor.
 

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 9th

One of my favorite halloween shorts from Disney. This cartoon is a lot of fun. Old school Disney had a way with magic and whimsy that was signature to them in a way that will stick with me forever. Plus I like to see Donald get the crap beat out of him.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 7th

This is a stop-motion short written and directed by Tim Burton, while he was still an animator at Disney. He had it narrated by one of his idols Vincent Price, you later went on to appear as the inventor in Edward Scissorhands. And just like his other short Frankenweenie, (which will also make an appearance on this countdown) there is talks that Vincent will also be made into a full length feature.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 1st.

For the month of October I'm going to feature a Halloween cartoon everyday. I know i'm 4 days behind, but well, now you can start with 4 cartoons instead of one, so here we go. For the first one we are going to watch one of my favorites, these ghosts from this classic Disney cartoon always pissed me off, and thought that they were to mean to Mickey, Donald, and especially Goofy. But now I find it very cute, and I'm happy to watch it every year.
