Subject: Halloween Specials, 80s style/THE WORST WITCH

Written By: mikeydude25 on 09/04/06 at 5:31 pm

Can anyone help me out with a list of those Halloween specials that aired in the 80s/early 90s?

I know, of course, of the Peanuts special, but I'm looking for the more obscure ones that I might've forgotten.

I have a copy of THE WORST WITCH that i could transfer to dvd if anyone has anything to trade.

Thanks,

Mike

I like The Worst Witch because it had Tim (Dr. Frank-n-Furter) Curry and Diana (Mrs. Peel) Rigg. I also like Witch's Night Out-with the late  :\'(  Gilda Rader. There is also:

Holloween Town (and a few sequels), which were a bit later than then '80s
Frankenweenie (a Tim Burton film)
Hocus Pocus (again, after the 80s but I still loved it-Bette Midler is great)
Nightmare Before Christmas (another Tim Burton film and after the 80s)
The Halloween That Almost Wasn't (1979)

I remember "Disney's Halloween Treat special", which featured many animated shorts and was hosted by the magic mirror from Snow White.  I think it aired in the 80's and 90's.

Here's a few Halloween specials:

Witch's Night Out- my personal fave!

Disney's Halloween Treat

The Worst Witch

The Watcher In the Woods (not your traditional Halloween movie, but if you see it on Halloween night, @ 11:59 p.m., Bette Davis will freak the hell outta ya!)

The Hallowwen That Almost Wasn't

The Nightmare Before Christmas
