So the story behind the authorship of the Bunnicula series is legit sad. Deborah Howe was dying of cancer and James and her wrote a book together to pass the time. She died before the first book was published, but in memorium, James has included her in the Author's credit of every sequel as well.

My favorite part of the Bunnicula book is when Chester tries to kill Bunnicula with a steak through the heart, but he thinks it's like a meat kind, so he keeps weakly whacking him with a cold steak till his owners spot him and stop it.

"Why is the Micro Monsters ally a girl?" My guess is they're trying to recreate the Ninja Turtles/April O'Neil dynamic.

I love the inserts of you and Hershel as the peanut gallery. And I'm glad to hear this is something that still brings a lot of joy to you.

Alway love these. Watching them has become a Halloween tradition for me

I love how CR has so much contempt for David S Pumpkin by the time he has no choice but to mention it he's gotta bump all the other ones up just to put him at the bottom of the list

Just when I finished rewatching the rest of your Halloween videos, you posted this.

Always count on CR to bring the Halloween goods! Love being exposed to a fresh crop of (more-than-likely-obscure) specials each season!

Phelous has got to review that Night of the Headless Horseman special in the near future cause it is so up his ally.

Been a miserable year but this genuinely makes me smile thanks so much FF love your work

You truly do find some amazing obscurities alongside your excellent commentary: 1313 Mockingbird Lane does kind-of-suck and not in a fun vampire way at that. Plus, I love your new Halloween sidekick! Bring him / her back for anytime you review horror or monster material.

A real treat to see a new entry of Halloween Specials when I was rewatching the past ones

Awesome to see a new top 10.

You can see How doug walker was inspried for the Nostalgiaween costume

Here’s a list of awesome Halloween specials that should totally happen! - Lucy Loud’s Scary Tales of Terror Halloween Spooktacular (a stand-alone hour-long anthology Halloween special of The Loud House where Lucy and her friends along with other characters tell multiple scary Halloween stories at a Halloween party and some of them involve an evil ghost chicken, a witch who turns Halloween costumed people into what their costumes represent, Lisa Loud as a mad scientist with her monster played by Lincoln Loud, a retelling of Hansel and Gretel set during Halloween with Luan Loud playing the witch, a parody of It with Luan Loud as a killer clown, etc.) - Adventure Time: Marceline’s HallOooween SpOooktacular of Scary Tales (a stand-alone hour-long anthology Halloween special of Adventure Time where Marceline tells scary Halloween stories at her Halloween party and the stories could involve monsters) - The Addams Family Halloween (a Halloween special of the 2019 animated movie “The Addams Family” and its 2021 sequel “The Addams Family 2”) - Halloween in Gravity Falls (an hour-long Halloween special of Gravity Falls set during Halloween where Dipper and Mabel return to Gravity Falls for a Halloween festival and monsters take over the town for Halloween) - The Owl House: Halloween in the Boiling Isles (a Halloween special of The Owl House where Luz brings the human holiday of Halloween to the Boiling Isles and it suddenly spreads like wildfire with costumes, candy, Jack-o-lanterns, and other stuff) - Elvira’s 13 Scary Tales of Halloween (Elvira, the queen of darkness herself hosts a Halloween party in a variety anthology Halloween special with 13 Halloween-themed renditions of classic fairy tales such as Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and other tales) - Screame Park (an animated Halloween special set a Halloween theme park) - A Jurassic World Spooky-saurus Dinosaur Halloween Special (an animated Jurassic World Halloween special where some friends end up at the Jurassic World theme park for the Halloween season and some scary dinosaurs attack) - Terrifying Tales from Vader’s Castle: A STAR WARS Halloween Special (an animated STAR WARS Halloween special which sees some friends attend a spooky Halloween party inside a spooky haunted castle which is actually Darth Vader’s fortress) - Other Cool Halloween Specials I have ideas for

it says alot when the Rob Zombie reboot of the Munsters looks more true to the source material than the Mockingbird Lane project did

31:20. I never thought to see a legendary meme return in the year of 2021 but you’ve proven me wrong once again!

“Hallowaiian” looks like what the never made “Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian” would’ve looked like.

I loved the monster in my pocket pilot Lovable characters, great story telling and creative.

I love that Mark Hamill does so many random voice roles

Yes!!!! New list 🤘🏾 the great pumkin has rewarded my loyalty 🤘🏾🤣

The bit about Club Penguin not airing on the Disney Channel in favor of making it an online exclusive is kind of ironic how it looks like Disney Channel is shutting down around the world in favor of Disney+

Clue Penguin has some dip lore no joke. There's also a fan project call Penguinronpa that pretty good.

Fear and Laughter in Burbank is my favourite segment from the reboot. Not only was the animation and comedy top notch, it showed a new side to my favourite Warner sibling!

Bruh, Thicc Misty...C.R. is so good at his job.

I like the 8 year pay off of you finally getting to talk about the FOX version of Sleepy Hallow. Yeah boyeeeee!

Been looking forward to this year's episode!

Always a pleasure to see a...Familiar Face. Loved this series way back in the day. I still enjoy this show.

While I absolutely LOVE these lists, I think you should do another forgotten Christmas special list. I mean its been like what 6 years? I'm sure the bargain bins have a few holiday oddities to take the piss out of.

Love the transition. Especially with the Calamity Girls as the Totally Spies.

Honestly this is the first time I heard of David S. Pumpkins.

Looking forward to the day when WISHBONE's Sleepy Hollow special shows up on this list

I’ll explain that club penguin “lore” you were confused about to you. Gary secretly works for this agency called the Elite Penguin Force. They keep the island safe from villains that attack them. The leader of the agency was secret for a while in game until her secret identity was revealed in a special in game event. Also, am unsure if the special is canon to the game, but Gary does have a great uncle named Gariwald who appeared in a Halloween event where you had to help Gary fight an evil ghost who took over the island’s hotel with the help of the ghost of Gariwald, so Gariwald has a lot to do with ghosts in the lore. The ghost you fight in game is not in this special though.

Holy crap I completely forgot about Mockingbird Lane. I saw it when it first aired and then proceeded to never think about it again. I remember going into it not realizing it was a Munsters reboot and it just pissed me off the more I watched. And I did want to like it since it started with a werewolf.

Pokemon X and Y has a pretty cute Halloween episode where the main cast arrive in a town that is celebrating a holiday called the Gourgeist Festival which is basically just Halloween with a different name

This is the best Birthday Gift i could have asked for!

Thank you for making another one! I watch your Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas list episodes every year during the holidays. Fills me with such nostalgia and warm feelings! :)

Another weird thing about Hallowaiin... It was advertised on packs of Hawaiian Rolls that was a tie-in for some contest to win a trip to Hawaii. I swear I'm *not* making this up!

I'm actually reading reading bunnicula to my stepdaughter.

I’m glad to see this back, a great Halloween tradition

Wolfmon, my new favorite Digimon

Glad you're still making these! They're a Halloween tradition for me!

Waiting with baited breath for this years list, I hope it's still coming.

Would you consider Doug's Halloween Adventure for next year? That one is not stop non-sensical things.

The Legend of Hallowaiian looks like a mix between Rapsittie Street Kids with the cancelled sequel of Beetlejuice.

It's always fun to see your Holiday special lists. I always learn more about specials I've never seen before and it's a good way to get more into the Halloween mood.

Praying for that opening bit is real when he meant "i have next years list already thought up" cause... that clock is ticking. no rush. i know CR loves he's lists and Halloween weirdo movies/specials.

God I have been waiting for years for you ro get to Bunnicula! Awesome video, doesn't quite feel like the spooky season with out a CR Halloween Specials list.

For the record, huge agree on David S Pumpkins. He was a mistake. A huge mistake.

I adore Hershel. Also that art style in the David S Pumpkins special makes me think of F is for Family more than anything. Really thought it might be the same studio until I looked it up.

The reason the Woody Woodpecker short goes into color is because most people back then had black and white TVs, so there was so reason for any of the new footage to be recorded in color, it wasn't till the 60's that colored TVs became real big. I guess they considered the animated segment important enough to do in color, despite that fact it wouldn't be seen that way. It's like how with Mickey Mouse Club all the newly created animation was done in color, but all the live action footage was always done in black and white, I guess they might've also figured that if they did the scenes that were to be repeated often in color, then they wouldn't need to reanimate them if color became a thing. You can find the theme song for Mickey Mouse Club in color, but you'll never find full colored prints of the early episodes, because they just don't exist. Also, no wonder you've never heard of Homer Pigeon, he only ever appeared in two cartoons. There's also a third cartoon with a character who has the same name, but with how different they are in look and setting, the fact that naming a pigeon Homer is a really obvious pun to make, I'm pretty sure it's a different character. I'm pretty sure (not counting the Walter Lantz segments of the Woody Woodpecker shows in which Lantz and Woody interreact) that was the only made for TV Woody Woodpecker cartoon made by the original studio, if so, then it must've been a real important learning experience for them in working with low budget animation. They created cartoons of increasingly small budgets all the way up to 1972.

I wait all year for these specials, glad to see them and excited already for next year!

An hour-long FF video, let’s do this!!

A new CR Top 10 Video. I must have done something very very good to deserve this :)

Hearing that you’re doing another one of these countdowns next year is the best treat of all.

So glad you have a few more of these up your sleeve. 🎃

I just found out Spookley had a Christmas sequel called Spookley and the Christmas Kittens.

21:07 NO GOOD SON OF A BUS DRIVER!!!

Another weird one I just remembered: The Kenan and Kel movie, Two Heads Are Better Than None.

Awesome work as always

Love watching these each Halloween and learning about more and more obscure Halloween specials. ...though the scariest part was hearing you call Club Penguin "Penguin Club". The name's super not important, but it still threw me off every time you said it, lol.

These videos are a Halloween tradition for me thanks!!

Ooooooooo Another spooky Halloween specials video!

More weird Halloween specials!!! Yeah!

Great list love the OST nod Chekov was my favorite growing up.

the adams family is also kinda making fun of "the other" they're weird people from a weird place that moved the suburbs. though though they both have their strengths. The munsters feel more like a normal family, while the adams lean into the subtext more. I feel the connection with the munsters more, but I find the Adams more entertaining usually.

Calling a rabbit a rodent. You sure know how to scare us zoologists.

I definitely think MJ's face in the moon is a nod to the Dangerous album cover. The cat is definitely likely a Thriller nod because MJ turned into a cat-creature in the music video and also the scarecrow is a nod to The Wiz where Michael did indeed play the scarecrow. Jim Hanks does most of the video game and toy voice work for Woody in the Toy Story franchise when Tom isn't available. And also now Rob Zombie has his own Munsters that is about the family but just focuses on Herman married Lilly.

It's just not Halloween without some Familiar Faces!!! 🎃🎃🎃

Being waiting for this

So this is far later then I meant it to be, I just want to say that this is another great list of obscure holiday themed specials and I'm so grateful you keep making these despite the fact that the youtube channel doesn't get nearly as many views as you deserve. Weird to think TOS had a Howloween special like that and your insight into why makes a whole lot of sense. Howloween on ice isn't so much a surprise that it exists, more that it's still going. And David S pumpkin is exactly the kind of I wouldn't want to watch it on it's own but it's kind of hilarious in this list, which to a large degree is entirely on your delivery making it entertaining. Wishing you loads of luck with the channel and your own animation projects.

yesterday i saw your old videos in a row

Yoooo I had that Monster in my Pocket special on vhs, watched it all the time as a kid

I agree with you about the brilliant set up of the "Monster in my Pocket" special. I recall catching this, "Hawaiian Slammers", and a number of other failed pilots on some kind of marathon some holiday weekend. I was a massive fan of the cards, having a complete set that is in a folder somewhere in my parents house (and that is probably worth a small fortune) and I was the first kid to ever rent the game from a locally owned video store, so the owner of the store gave me the tiny orange monster toy that came with the game.

Awww, I enjoy the holiday list so much.

The Hallowian movie had a tie in with Kings Hawaiian sweet bread, which is why the panther man is giving them rolls for Halloween.

Part of the reason the Bunnicula series was good even if a big departure from the book series was because it was handled in part by the same guy that did Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

I feel like TNG's Night Terrors is being overlooked but good list.

Happy Halloween laddy o

Now I'm wondering were the Amphibia Girls as the Totally Spies and that Rick and Morty girl as Misty came from.

It’s not Halloween till CRs ones a year upload

The best time of the year is here again!

dame it I'm really disappointed that failed monsters reboot did not get off the ground. Not because I think it would be good but I a big fan of the actor playing Herman for his time on sliders

So when's Herschel getting his own show?

Just in time to watch

"And do check out that new series... By any means necessary." Chad be going as a pirate this Halloween.

25:04 My Best Guess: The Sequel is a James Bond Spoof Involving Herbert P. Bear, Tusk, Skip, Shellbeard, and Proto Bot Teaming up to Destroy Penguin Island.

I vividly remember that CG Sleepy Hollow when I was a kid, never saw it outside of an advert and a VHS copy at a car boot sale.

IT'S BACK

Damn that David S. Pumpkins.

The return of the curse of the Halloween specials (a la Mr. Show)

another October, another glorious video by CR! I've already watched it earlier today, but why stop at one viewing?

Oh fuck I forgot all about that Munsters reboot never seen it but judging by the those clips. We dodged a bullet

Apparently 4 people really like David S. Pumpkins

8:02- 8:05 Oh, so that's why Seras Victoria's coffin was filled with soil from England...

That David S. Pumpkins at the end is truly terrifying.

35:35 Oh by god you've created a waifu.

Woomy!

Hell yes.

"Penguin Club"
