Writing About All Things Pop Culture
Ahh, Halloween. Next to Christmas, it’s the holiday that people in America get into the most, especially when it comes to TV shows. With Halloween specials all but an unspoken tradition, it was only a matter of time before the reboot of DuckTales! did one themselves. And while it won’t make into my list of memorable Halloween episodes, it was still plenty entertaining. But hey, that’s DuckTales!
After watching the Tegridy Farms Halloween Special on South Park, I have one question: what the heck were they smoking when they made this?
It’s now officially Halloween, and I wanted to save the best for last. Here’s one of my all-time favorite Halloween Specials, all the way from Bikini Bottom, Spongebob Scaredypants!
For my penultimate pick for my first ever month of screams, I chose a show that’s perfect for Halloween. It’s Cartoon Network’s 2000’s classic, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. If you didn’t know, its about two kids, the idiotic Billy and the cynically terrifying Mandy, who win the friendship of the Grim Reaper in a game. The show followed the trio’s supernatural misadventures, and it was a mega-hit for the channel. Of course, it helped that Richard Horvitz and Grey DeLisle voiced the main characters. As a result of its themes, this show’s perfect for Halloween, and Billy and Mandy’s Jacked Up Halloween delivered!
With Halloween nearly upon us, I’m closing in on the last of my picks for the month of screams. Since I’m such a big fan of Regular Show, I’m going to finish my review on the Terror Tales of the Park series, and this next one may be my favorite. It’s got Steve Blum in it!
This next choice for my month of Halloween specials is an old classic, and one of my personal favorites. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
After all these years, the Simpsons reaches a momentous occasion. It’s famous “Treehouse of Horror” specials hits is 30th episode!
We’re back with another episode of Regular Show: Terror Tales of the Park. In this one, the gang takes turns telling scary stories for candy. Loser has to wear their costume until Thanksgiving!
Of all the versions of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow out there, I think my favorite has to be the 1949 Disney version. I can’t help but love it!
Ever since I started this month long event, I’ve made a conscious effort to avoid using any of the examples I used for FANDOM. Yet I can no longer put off using this next one because it’s so good. It’s Rocko’s Modern Life: Sugar Frosted Frights.
Pack your trick or treat bags and be ready for a trip in Ed Edd n’ Eddy’s Boo Haw Haw. When Ed watches a marathon of horror films for Halloween, he starts seeing monsters everywhere out to get him and his friends. Eddy, meanwhile, is too focused on finding this neighborhood that supposedly gives out a ton of candy.
Every episode of Invader Zim can feel like Halloween, but this was an actual Halloween special!
