"Hello... I'm here to conquer the world?" That line has to be reused someday

"Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered." "....Yeah, but how did you and Irwin's mom..." "Leaving a whole lot of questions that don't need to be answered."

The Halloween Tree is my favorite Halloween special I always assumed Monshroud was the Grim Reaper

the Halloween Tree is awesome! p.s. R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy

"Monsters would rule the world if not for teddy bears." Those were words that have been said.

Halloween tree = best Halloween movie ever.... LOOK IT UP!!!

Video Spoiler: I laughed a bit too hard when Dracula said "Monsters would rule the world if it weren't for Teddy Bears"

God, The Halloween Tree tortured me my entire life. I could always vividly remember random sequences from it(mainly the one where they eat sugar skulls) but never enough that a google search would bring up anything cause really all I could type in was "animated halloween movie with skeletons?" It KILLED ME, until I actually googled a list of like top 100 animated halloween specials and watched ALL OFF THEM till I found the movie. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. I felt so fucking validated that the movie WAS REAL and I didn't just randomly make up the memory

The Halloween Tree is one of my all-time favorite Halloween specials, and is required viewing every year. And I never get enough of that music, it's just gives me the chills in a good way! Also my theory is that Moundshroud is basically the Halloween Grim Reaper: the real Grim Reaper's brother who takes over collecting the dead every Halloween. Hence why he blew out his own pumpkin's light and disappeared at the end of the movie, Moundshroud is only allowed to be amongst the living during Halloween.

0:14 Underfist 3:13 The Halloween Tree 7:27 The New Misadventures of Ichabod Crane 9:42 The Great Bear Scare 13:37 The Scarecrow 16:44 The Midnight Hour

2:30-2:43 Knowing how Cartoon Network and even Nickelodeon have their line ups nowadays, pushing a ton of crap and trying to push aside the stuff that actually takes effort and talent, its sad that I can totally believe that.

19:23 - Ok seriously, whats with Count Ziggy Stardust?!

Yeah Underfist definitely deserved a series it was alot better than what I expected. The Halloween tree such magical memories. The scarecrow was a cute flick but it lacked something. Yet why on earth it they thought it'd ought to be a halloween special is beyong me.

0:15 THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THAT! Any special that includes Hoss Delgado riding a unicorn while wielding a Halo Energy Sword in the end credits deserves praise. I really did wish Underfist became a full-fledged spin-off series of its own.

The Halloween Specials throughout the 80's and 90's decades are the parts of my childhood, so vintage and so delightful.

The Scarecrow is actually based on a 1852 short story called "Feathertop" by a guy named Nathaniel Hawthorne. There's a TV movie version starring Gene Wilder (which is only on VHS) that's much, MUCH better.

"What's a marshmallow bunny doing in a Halloween special anyway?" Good point Irwin, Marshmallow Bunnies are Easter candies.

I loved The Midnight Hour! The soundtrack was awesome! Also, Dick Van Patten as a zombie dentist...that movie had everything! I watched it with my kids last Halloween, 3 girls between the ages of 10-18. They thought it was lame, but later they were borrowing it to show to their friends. What can I say? They inherited my love of cheesy movies! Thanks for the videos; gave me some ideas for this year!

My love of the Bradbury started with Something Wicked This Way Comes. I found it in an Indiana bookshop when I was fifteen. I'll never forget chapter 39. But looking back, my first time with Bradbury was the Halloween Tree. They showed it in school on an old worn out tape when the Northwest decided we needed more rain. I had forgotten about it until now when all those memories came flooding back. Thank you for that, and I can't wait to track it down and revisit lost childhood memories.

Gotta love it when The Halloween Tree gets its props! ;) \m/

I am so happy you had mentioned The Halloween Tree, I remembered watching it on TV years ago, but could never recall the name. Each year I keep meaning to look it up to rewatch but never actually did. I knew I could count on you.

-I loved the Halloween Tree. I remember seeing it and then bugging my mom to take me to the library so I can learn more about what other things people did to celebrate Halloween. -The Bear Scare looks good, but the animation of the bear's movements.... ah it hurts. - The midnight hour starts out on a kid bleeding at the corner of Elm Street.... We need a Freddy clip. And oh good lord in candy corn, I remember that dance scene. It is still the creepiest thing I have ever scene.

Your high commentary on the meaning of “The Great Bear Scare” at 12:48 was brilliant. 😂

i. LOVED The Midnight Hour as a kid. SO MUCH. i saw it on tv and went freaking nuts over it... and when the zombie girl went back to her grave... oh god i got so sad lol....

Isn't "The Great Bear Scare" a follow up to "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas" from the 70's?

That guy with the stomach... He's like LeFou, Smee and Winnie the Pooh.

I'm totally glad you added Underfist in the list! :3 Underfist was that very last straw that the golden era of animated shows on Cartoon Network before 2009 with Snyder and his evil execs having no animated series premiered in an entire year that many talented creators left from until April 2010 with Adventure Time. That year is when Cartoon Network reached it's horrific low with nothing but terrible live action shows. Welp, can't wait for Steven Universe to come out in 2 weeks. :3

I've been waiting all year to watch this. It's become a tradition. I tried to wait until closer to Halloween...couldn't do it.

YES! THE HALLOWEEN TREE!!! I owned that on a VHS and watched it so much I wore the tape out. One of my first and still favorite Halloween Specials.

the art of that movie The Scarecrow, looks like the same for the animated King and I

You finally talked about The Halloween Tree!! I'm so happy you did! I just adore that movie (and the book), I sort of wish it had been Number 1 though. Too bad Crybaby Lane wasn't on here, yeah it's an actual TV movie and not just a dumb creepypasta! Hey CR, I know how much you like animated movies (specials) and stuff, have you ever considered doing special videos on movies like Watership Down, Plague Dogs, or Felidae?

The Great Bear Scare...*gasp* Thank-you kindly, CR! For years I could only remember one sequence from this movie: The witch creates her doppelganger and poses "Which witch is which?" Now I know it's origin.

The grandfather is Blackula and not Dracula

Love the theme music for The Halloween Tree--John Debney always delivers. :-) It's on my Halloween playlist. (Good old Leonard Nimoy also delivers!)

Oh gosh, seeing the clips from "Underfist" made me have so much nostalgia. Although I don't think I ever caught the special, just seeing all those B&M characters again after goodness knows how long made me want to watch it again.

I remember seeing The Halloween Tree as a kid. Unfortunately I only caught it once on tv but it left a pretty good impression, about as well as the more commonly rerun Halloween specials of the 90's.

Oh geez, I knew number The New Adventures of Ichabod Crane was going to be on this list. Only heard about that one last year--looked it up and watched pieces of it--very weird, but yeah, the concept of Ichabod protecting the town as the Headless Horseman is awesome. Also, "The Scarecrow" is very vaguely based off a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne called "Feathertop" which actually has a rather sad ending to it, as the scarecrow was brought to life by a witch and given a human appearance. However, when the scarecrow discovers through a mirror his true reflection and terrifying the girl who once loved him, he smashes the pipe he must keep smoking in order to stay alive and becomes lifeless once more. I tried to watch this animated rendition online, but the quality was pretty bad--and the concept was just plain ridiculous. Your description of the Duke as a cross between Liberace and Gaston is spot on--I keep calling him "Gayston."

Amn I the only one that thinks that a sequel to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow where Ichabod Crane becomes the Headless Horseman and takes revenge on Brom Bones would be amazing.

aw, I love the Halloween Tree :)

21:35. 3 seconds later, Zeo Ranger Linkara comes smashing straight through the door to beat the ever unliving crud out of the Headless Gym Coach for making fun of him. Then using his spaceship to blow the HGC up in a quarry. Then buys CR! some candy for Halloween. :D

I remember that scarecrow movie! I saw it forever ago... all I remember is that the witches broom fell in love with a real broom, and there's a dance that can make someone fall in love with you.

I was fascinated and freaked out by the Halloween Tree as a kid. Now I know why. Damn you Leonard Nimoy.

Zombie Clarence Boddicker? Sign me up!

FYI, The Halloween Tree is available on DVD on the Warner Archive site.

14:01 so basically he’s the one costume McLovin wore in Superbad

I am so thankful to you for knowing the name of Underfist. Its been in the back of my mind forever, and i never remembered its name

At first when i watched part one i was like "i shouldnt watch part two because i don't know any of the specials!" But i took a look and now i am very happy because your Number #6 is my absolute favorite halloween special next to another!

It was a damn crime Cartoon Network never picked up Underfist for a full series.

My best friend was so taken with Underfist (and like the rest of us, so pissed off that it didn't continue) that he made a fan comic series (me co-writing it)... unfortunately, we couldn't keep at it and it crashed and burned in the 3rd episode. Still it was fun to work on and looking back on it really brings back memories.

Thank you for making this video. I saw the Halloween Tree when I was young and it just became one of those videos you see but you forget the title so you can never find it. Thank you for finding it for me. Four more to go

Just realized, after seeing that title card repeatedly, that Mrs. Beakley is dressed as Jason's mom. The sweater gave it away.

God I loved Wonderfist:D Its one of my favorite specials of any show or holiday.

Hotel Transylvania Dracula on the Dracula on the #3 spot Dracula Dracula: This is how we are represented? Unbelievable.

Haha, yes! I thought I was the only one who saw Halloween Tree and Underfist. No one else seems to have heard of them. Was unaware Underfist was attemptin to be a new series. I was mixed with it, just because of the slightly different artstyle, that "Something off" thing.

16:00 Oh hey, Moses! Nice to see it getting a little bit of publicity.

Rented the Great Bear Scare when I was a kid; while memories of it are vague at best, the odd part is, 5 or 6 year old me did not notice, or, at least, did not recall the janky animation.

Honestly I would have put Halloween Tree at number one, but that's just me. This is still a great list and I plan to keep a third eye out for these specials and check them out! Happy Halloween CR!

THose have got to be the weirdest special ever, not just the weirdest for Halloween

18:28 "Ha ha ha, you say funny thing."😉

If Feathertop was voiced by Roger Craig Smith, then Sonic fans would be PISSED.

Thanks to your video I finally found that Halloween special that I saw years ago, The Halloween Tree. I didn't know the title of the special because I began to see it had started. I'll search for it to see it again this time from the begining :)

the Halloween tree is my number one favorite Halloween special of all time nothing will ever come close to that

9:14 Agreed. Though Japan gave us a show that I'd call the next closest thing to that idea: Durarara.

#3 Had Tom Smother's in it?!? I never knew that! I'm going to have to find that one and watch it! He and his brother (Little Dicky Smothers) are hilarious!

So glad he put Underfist on here.

Phil LaMarr? Yes please. However, Maxwell Atoms DID make a "Bunnicula" series, so good enough? So is Monshroud a shintengami/reaper? (Also, you've never seen the Tim Burton version of "Aladdin" where Nimoy plays the evil sorcerer?) I have never heard of "The Scarecrow", honestly. Though somehow I wonder if Phelous will get to it. Oh heck, I don't think we could've had "Hocus Pocus" without "The Midnight Hour".

Dude! Pumpking Tree! I LOVE this one soooo much! Also I recomend getting at least 1 candy and catching a Missingno. That should solve everything.

THANK YOU for showing that Moses clip!

Dat last minute reference XD Awesome job!

And now I know what to look for next year.

So the Headless Gym Coach knew Moarte? Nice!

Finally, someone mentions the Halloween tree

15:25 The worst part is that I know somewhere out there, someone's getting off to this.

Rubber Band from Wacky Land! It really does! XD

"Move your damn head." _CR_

17:54 GEOORDDDIII??? Wow, that guy gets around! :D

Underfist was SOOO underappreciated.

The Halloween tree was my favorite special as a kid

0:25 the Underfist halloween special, is cool, when the transmit this special in Canal 5 (mexican channel) they put a Casper special (the one make it in Hanna-barbera) and you look how different is a Halloween special, with the casper one, you see a cheesy special, and the Underfist one, you see a awesome one

I feel like watching the Midnight Hour just for craps and giggles

Nice Moarte reference at the end.

Great list, haven't seen any of these with the exception of Ichabod of course, the first one you mentioned. I'm always having a fun time revisiting an old halloween special, Night of the Living Bread from Bump in the Night...anyone remember that?

I love your Halloween videos dude, keep it up!

oki I have seen quiet a few of these specials. I thought everyone had forgot about some of them. This is one way of me to celebrate the season.

It's called 義足のMoses. the popular version is on Vimeo but you can find it on KZfaq. I add a link in the video.

The Halloween Tree looks amazing!!!

Monsters would rule the world, if it weren't for teddy bears... maybe he means the Care Bears?

Hooray Moarte refrence!!!! XD I love you!!!

Frankly, I'm not surprised that Cartoon Network refused to give Underfist a proper series. They seem to have a track record of not giving a shit when it comes to their own shows these days. ._.

I think the DJ's voice from 16:55 is Wolfman Jack. What's sad is I remember hearing him in the arcade game called DJ boy. Weird Stuff.

The producer of TED E. BEAR's Halloween special took the profit from the special for herself. She just gave CBS a pose reel, then left. No joke.

I love the Halloween Tree.

Well that last one was certainly weird. And cringe inducing with that necrophilia added to it.

I saw MDG and you put it up there before I could think it.

Dracula: Live From Transylvania. From IMDB: " George Hamilton hosts a special on vampire legends, mixing taped segments with a live telecast from Transylvania (now Romania)." It was camptacular. And apparently never aired again after its debut in 1989. And isn't available, like, anywhere. Sigh.

11:30 "Why would there be a tent in the middle of the city?" 2013.

Ween Notes: Part Two 1: From Previous Episodes. A Vummy to be Exucat 2: This Has a DVD-R Release on Warner Archive. His Name is technically Joseph. He's the Spirit of Halloween 3: The Other Famous Character Created by Washington Irving. (Two) 4: This has Super Limited Animation. It's also a Sequel to a Christmas Special. It's Claimed that The Producer stole the Animation Budget. 5: This could have been a Meta-Parody of Disney Movies. It's called being creative. 6: She was Buried Alive and Suffocated in the Coffin.

I put one in. It's a little speech bubble above the ghost.

You know, speaking of Maxwell Atoms, he has a Kickstarter for a new webseries called "Dead Meat", which takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a guy and his mutant childhood dog, Dead Meat, fight off other mutants, including this one mutant woman who Dead Meat has the hots for and may just be the end of the world (again). And it's done with puppets. Tell me this doesn't sound crazy awesome.

Goddamit I was also going "move your damn head." Not enough major doctor ghastly stuff.
