I always loved Halloween themed episodes, hell holiday themed episodes in all shows really. The Simpsons always comes to mind with really knocking it out of the park cause the Treehouse of horror shit was always excellent
Yeah, I think it's a shame that the Garfield holiday specials are always over-shadowed by the Peanuts specials because they're still enjoyable to watch to this day.
Loved watching the Charlie Brown specials as a kid (still do now). There was just this laid back, and relaxing mixed with subtle humor and relatable struggles sprinkled in. It was simple, yet sincere and had more layers in how it can reach so many people. We laugh at Charlie Brown's bad luck, but we also pity him since some of us can relate to his mundane struggles and frustrations. And obviously we know the great pumpkin is real, but many of us admire Linus's genuine passion and commitment to believe in it and celebrate it. And the easygoing jazz music can always put me in the right mood.
Good video, I remember and love all the same things about Halloween. I'm 36 and was lucky enough to be a kid during the 80's and 90s, it was an amazing time to be alive. The movies, sitcoms, toys, clothes, you name it. The 80's and early 90s were special. You had to live it to know.
+The Viper Of Death yeah me to I'm trying to buy back all the classic universal movies. I like the moment section here only place where people are actually kind.
I looked forward to the Treehouse of Horror marathons every year in the early/mid 90s. On those nights I'd come in early from thick or treats if need be.
James is spot on, "It's the Great Pumpkin CB" is THE gold standard! I can't get into the Halloween spirit without watching it. I prefer to watch it by myself as I did when I was a kid.
Listening to James cuss is like music to my ears. Just wanted to remind you guys that this channel is absolutely fantastic. It was going downhill when James was working on his movie but Mike ended up pulling through and through your conversations the show ended up so much better. Love your work.
I am 31 now. Halloween today is nothing like it was back in the early nineties and late 80s I remember the streets being full of kids in costume now of days your lucky to get 10 kids at to your door in my neighborhood and I live in a nice area. It's sad.:(
+David Murauski That's because your area there isn't as many kids of that generation at one time. That's all it is - there's just a lot less children of that age to trick-or-treat. Generational change and all that. It's not as if people aren't still doing it.
+Joe Plays I dunno what depressing- ass neighborhood you lived in, but middle school is the ideal trick-or-treating age. You finally have the freedom to wander around and get in trouble with your buddies without having a parent holding your hand, but you still have that carefree innocence. You missed out on a nice piece of childhood
Thanks for the content you create, be it the Nerd, Board James or these kind of things, thanks. I've had a rough couple of years and watching your content just keeps my mind off things. It's nice to see someone create content with so much passion.
James and Mike, I'm 22 years old and I have been watching your videos for 6 years now. It's funny to talk about Halloween specials when in my eyes your monster madness and Halloween AVGN episodes have been the number one highlight of my Halloween. For my generation, you ARE a Halloween special all of your own. Never quit doing what your doing. Thanks
I like when you guys go back and talk about the nostalgic stuff from you're past. I grew up in the same generation as you guys so its always fun to hear about the same experiences I had growing up.
The Halloween holiday season has always and will always hold a special place in my heart right next to the Halloween TV specials you guys mentioned in this video. Thanks guys.
"Perfect Strangers" Halloween episode (S04E03) aired Oct 28, 1988. The first (normal) episode of "Rosanne" aired on Oct 18th, 1988. Larry and Balki beat Rosanne to the punch.
I'm 13, and I love Peanuts. The stories are so amazing, and whenever Charles could actually add some storyline to it - it just is fantastic and timeless. If anyone has seen the Nostalgia Critic, you'd know that kids television shows can get away with more things, and they can be as good - or even better - as anything for an adult, such as Gravity Falls. It appeals to all generations, while having an actual interesting storyline that really makes you think, and with actual original humour and ideas, rather that just having stupid "child" humour with random stories. If Charles could still continue the daily comic strip, I wonder how much great things he could've done in today's time - add more character to characters, extend more stories - I've even started creating my own Peanuts comic strips and fanfiction that'll probably never seen by anyone, just to try it out - it's just that good. In my opinion. Anyway, Peanuts is simply spectacular. That's basically what I'm saying. And, hey - there's a new Peanuts movie coming out this year. Which Australia gets two months after the rest of the world. And we get it on New Year's Day, which is the worse day to release a movie. But at least they're making a new Peanuts movie that somehow looks good!
+JamerTheGamer "kids television shows can be good or better". Yeah i call total bullshit on this because most programs aimed towards children are total garbage. Peanuts is not an 'exceptional display' of this, it's just a cartoon. But it's an old cartoon, and is a 'classic' BECAUSE. it has those things, NOT because children stories normally have them or are better or some combination of nonsense that doesn't exist. This is what we call "exceptions proving the rule" because that's what it is, an exception. What you describe is not typical. Also, Nostalgia critic? Why not try having an opinion of your own rather than regurgitating someone else's.
I hear you man! I love Peanuts! It inspired me to make my own comics as well as animations on my channel. Charles M Shultz is responsible for 70% of my childhood! :D
Charles is dead buddy and for now on don't say your age you'll be treated different by people who don't have respect. I get you though peanuts was originally aimed for adults which means its not technically just for kids(the comments I mean.) Other then that I wouldn't worry so much and I would appreciate if you don't comment stuff like that on cinemassacre share your opinions somewhere else. One last thing when its a show people of all ages watch like the peanuts how could it be really just for kids how could anything? thank you I just really don't want comment chains on here.
I love Halloween specials! One of my favorite things about this time of year. And Charlie Brown's is the best! It always brings me back to the way we used to celebrate Halloween as kids. Other specials focused on being over the top and unrealistic, but The Great Pumpkin just lets you soak in the atmosphere and reminds you of what Halloween time is really about.
This was a nice lookback at Halloween episodes. The amazing thing about nostalgia is that when putting back some old episodes of TV shows or old Cartoon shows, either American or Japanese Animated, or even European cartoons too. Looking back on those animated shows from the past, really brings back a sort of nostalgia feeling that you either love it or you hate it depending on how you feel about your own adult life nowdays and your childhood seems so far away. Sometimes those feelings connect, and sometimes it doesn't depending on how others feel.
The most memorable Halloween special for me was the Boy Meets World one where they're stuck in the school with a killer and he's singing over the PA. "Welcome to John Adams high, this is where you're gonna die." Lol.
+PhelanVelvel - That was a great special, inspired by the Scream series right? _Spoiler_ _Alert_ : Shawn is the killer and it was all a dream sequence >: )
+Hidious Vanity Lol, I see. I remembered it as a Halloween episode, my bad! I think maybe I'm remembering it that way because it was shown on Halloween in later years.
There have been lots of Halloween specials. They were on the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. Rosanne hardly started them. Even Knight Rider had a Halloween special.
I really like trick r treat. That movie would get a lot more mainstream play if it wasn't as twisted as it is, cuz the writing, and characters are great.
I know this is old, but I've been going back through Monster Madness this year since there are no new ones... My favorite Halloween Special on TV was 1985s The Midnight Hour. It fell right in the heyday for me and horror, when smack in the midst of my teenage years.
James is so cool! He's an awesome guy and loves Holidays and celebrating them. Theses guys are so much about nostalgia and I love it. They don't care about what people think, they love talking about stuff they loved as kids.
Awesome video guys! I really relate to Roseanne for sure. It's one of my favorite sit calms of all time. It kinda reminds me of how I grew up. I'm more of an 80's kid anyway. I was a teenager in the 90's and did watch some of the other shows mentioned, but as an adult Roseanne is the most Nostalgic. I was just like DJ, playing my Gameboy and trying to fit into school. Even the episodes where he was bullied hits home. It was awesome to see it fleshed out on TV. Awesome, I think I'm gonna watch some Roseanne today LOL.
I usually am on the same page with you guys on nearly everything on this channel. Every Halloween since the mid-'80s I have gleeful watched Halloween marathons and Halloween specials, like Roseanne and Simpson's ToH. Even today, I'm 38 years old, Halloween gets me all giddy. But I have a zero tolerance rule for goddamn Peanuts and Charlie Brown. And the only Great Pumpkin episode I will watch is "It's the Great Pumpkin Sam Winchester"...
I've collected a lot of the Halloween specials. Every October I watch them with my kids. Helps that we have a Plex server setup to keep it all organized: Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Bobby's World, Boy Meets World, The Cosby Show, Dinosaurs, a ton of Disney Halloween specials, Doug, DuckTales, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Eek! the Cat, Family Matters, The Flintstone Kids, Goosebumps, Hey Arnold!, Home Improvement, It's Punky Brewster, Jem, Johnny Bravo, Life with Louie, the Littles, Marc Summer's Mystery Magical Tour, Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, Pac-Man, Pound Puppies, Powerpuff Girls, A Pup named Scooby-Doo, The Real Ghostbusters, Recess, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Camp Anawanna, the Simpsons, Step by Step, Super Mario Brothers Super Show, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, Tiny Toon Adventures, You Can't Do That On Television and Weinerville. That's only some of the ones we have and doesn't include one-shot specials (like Witches Night Out).
wow you pretty much have every single show with Halloween specials but have seen the one special called scary godmother and also how many Halloween movies do you guys watch
Jackson Chambers i am glad your gonna watch scary godmother its good and for the movies yeah pretty much any horror movie will do but im surprised that you mentioned the stuff movie most people don't know that but i do and James reviewed it few years back on monster madness
It is funny that you posted this today, because I was just thinking about both Tool Time and Roseanne yesterday and their Halloween episodes. Halloween is the best.
I wish you guys had mentioned The Halloween Tree with Leonard Nimoy but you guys were BANG on with everything else! This is so far my fav Monster Madness... brought back so many memories!
man, i think this episode hit the nail right on the head. Halloween isn't the same until you actually get in to the spirit of it (no pun intended lol). great episode.!
I should have watched this episode a few years ago I have been trying to find what the special was called for years then I see you bring it up the last Halloween. Think you so much.
I love Halloween, and I agree fuck baseball. My husband and I love Halloween so much that we got married on Halloween. We were in costume, most of the guests were in costume, and even the minister came in costume. We are a sound effect making, super decorated, horror movie watching, everyone in costume, full sized candy bar giving house. Halloween is the best holiday!
Honestly, watching the AVGN Halloween Specials has been a yearly tradition for almost five years now. I’ll even make popcorn and open a bag of candy and celebrate!
Holy shit! I have been trying to think of the name of that move The Last Halloween for around 6 years. Randomly stumbled upon a picture of it and remembered it from my childhood but couldn't figure out what the hell it was called! Bless you, Cinemassacre! Bless you!
We don't celebrate Halloween over here (at least not in the same way). But I still get a sense of nostalgia when they're talking about these episodes. Because I can relate. I freaking love old Christmas movies, and specials. Would be cool if they did a video like this in december.
Hate to burst your bubble. but Halloween specials were fairly common in the 60s-90s & The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet had a Halloween special in 1952.
If they wanna catch up on the Simpsons, and if they have cable or satellite TV, they should check out the channel FXX. They are CONSTANTLY airing long marathons of the Simpsons almost every day.
I know I'm late but I'm on a Halloween binge right now, but I remember The Last Halloween! It was so weird. It was one of those specials I watched when I was really young but kinda fell out of the list of things I'd watch every year when I got older.
Well i was going to search for a Halloween special to watch (having just finished all 7 home improvement specials) and this popped up, watching this again was just as good lol cant wait for this years monster madness =)
I LOVE Halloween TV specials! I especially loved the Roseanne ones, and I love looking up older Halloween cartoons. I recently found a couple episodes of The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh that were 'spooky' themed... they weren't the most creative or exciting but they definitely had that sweet nostalgia effect, since I loved that show as a child :)
I like this channel but don't keep up on it because I kinda get sick of Mike's need to take over and his inability to care about what others are saying. You can see him at the beginning getting annoyed that he has to listen to someone else and then jumps in and doesn't allow a word in from James. He does this nearly every time he's in a video and it pisses me off. He's old enough to not be so immature and self-centered. People are more enjoyable to watch and listen to when they know how to give and take.
I always loved Halloween themed episodes, hell holiday themed episodes in all shows really. The Simpsons always comes to mind with really knocking it out of the park cause the Treehouse of horror shit was always excellent
Save
I love the Home Improvement specials
Garfield Halloween is a personal favorite, Halloween in the 80s and 90s was amazing
That garfield halloween special was so awesome.
reading the description, it's more like mike talks and james tries to. Cudos to James for being so patient!! lol
That 70's Show had some good halloween episodes. Especially the Alfred Hitchcock tribute/parody episode 'Too Old to Trick or Treat, Too Young to Die'.
The Garfield Halloween Special was always my favorite.
Yeah me too
+Ltrain44 it is definitely one of my favorite halloween specials.
+Ltrain44 (lightning/thunder crackling in the distance, briefly illuminating a spooky mansion with eeriness)
"Nice touch."
+Ltrain44 I can still sing "What should I be?" word for word.
Yeah, I think it's a shame that the Garfield holiday specials are always over-shadowed by the Peanuts specials because they're still enjoyable to watch to this day.
Nothing will beat the early Treehouse of Horror stuff. Just amazing material.
I make sure to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" every year. Such a great show.
Loved watching the Charlie Brown specials as a kid (still do now). There was just this laid back, and relaxing mixed with subtle humor and relatable struggles sprinkled in. It was simple, yet sincere and had more layers in how it can reach so many people. We laugh at Charlie Brown's bad luck, but we also pity him since some of us can relate to his mundane struggles and frustrations.

The 80s an 90s were the last great decades.
Looney tunes had some awesome halloween cartoons. Their cbs special, bugs bunny's halloween hi-jinx, creature feature, and quackbuster all kicked ass!
I remember the Rugrats Halloween special(s) as a kid. Even the more recent Toy Story Halloween special from a few years ago was really fun.
6:57 Holy shit, I had some of those exact decorations when I was a kid. Total nostalgia wave.
Same. We had those growing up
I love this channel so much. So glad I subscribed.
+The Viper Of Death I want to be James because I want his movie and game (board/video games) collection.
+Jason Juice lol using Gang Bang as a verb. It's semi rape-y.
+The Viper Of Death yeah me to I'm trying to buy back all the classic universal movies. I like the moment section here only place where people are actually kind.
+moviechic07 One of my favorite channels too!
+SupaNintendoGirl well I own all the DVDs so ha. I'm joking.
Man, James & Mike are missing out on some good Simpsons if they only went up to season 4
HeroTheyCallMe right?! they pretty much stopped when they Simpsons was at it's best.
Yeah. The show didn’t drop in quality until Season 9.
@@ajzeg01 exactly. There's plenty of hilarious, classic moments in seasons 4-9. They really hit their stride in those years and couldn't miss
I looked forward to the Treehouse of Horror marathons every year in the early/mid 90s. On those nights I'd come in early from thick or treats if need be.
These are my favorite videos from Monster Madness.
Halloween specials are what I look forward to the most from shows.
+Intimidation Me too
+Intimidation Now you're playing with Power!
treehouse of horror are always good even now!
James is spot on, "It's the Great Pumpkin CB" is THE gold standard! I can't get into the Halloween spirit without watching it. I prefer to watch it by myself as I did when I was a kid.
same here I'm glad I subscribed to this channel the vids are great
I feel they should review the treehouse of horror episodes
That would be awesome. There's some halloween special indeed.
My personal favorite tv special still has to be South Parks “Korn’s Groovy Mystery”, seen it at least 100 times now, still always makes me laugh
Listening to James cuss is like music to my ears. Just wanted to remind you guys that this channel is absolutely fantastic. It was going downhill when James was working on his movie but Mike ended up pulling through and through your conversations the show ended up so much better. Love your work.

+Joe Plays

+Joe Plays So why did you stop? Is it too "cool" for you? My father stopped when he was 16 or 17.
You grow up inside ET? Howd you get out?
Thanks for the content you create, be it the Nerd, Board James or these kind of things, thanks.
I've had a rough couple of years and watching your content just keeps my mind off things.
It's nice to see someone create content with so much passion.
Every kid born in the late 90s early 2000s remembers the Cartoon Network Halloween movie Scary Godmother.
James and Mike, I'm 22 years old and I have been watching your videos for 6 years now. It's funny to talk about Halloween specials when in my eyes your monster madness and Halloween AVGN episodes have been the number one highlight of my Halloween.

64 poptart ho
+pedrocardosomusic Agreed!
agreed
The Halloween holiday season has always and will always hold a special place in my heart right next to the Halloween TV specials you guys mentioned in this video. Thanks guys.
God Damnit Mike. Let James speak
My favorite was the SpongeBob Halloween special, "SpongeBob ScaredyPants."
"Perfect Strangers" Halloween episode (S04E03) aired Oct 28, 1988. The first (normal) episode of "Rosanne" aired on Oct 18th, 1988. Larry and Balki beat Rosanne to the punch.
There is Halloween episodes of Andy Griffith and The Brady Bunch. So maybe everyone should try a little research.
The Real Ghostbusters "The Halloween Door" is still my favourite animated Halloween special.
Stopped watching the Simpsons at season 3. Wow. So many classics from season 4 to 9.
i love this, just watching james and mike talk about movies and shows and stuff. its really great
I miss the goosebumps show from the 90's. Good clean fun, I remember the intro music use to give me chills.
Haven't even started watching. Just saw the title and said 'this is gonna be a good one'. I know these guys know retro Halloween specials!
I'm 13, and I love Peanuts. The stories are so amazing, and whenever Charles could actually add some storyline to it - it just is fantastic and timeless.

+Delta Mage I prefer children under 12 there fresher.
I adore Charlie Brown, I've not watched any in years though. Definitely a part of fond childhood memories.
Great video guys
I really, really want to see the Rosanne Halloween special... Why must I miss it EVERY DAMN YEAR!
+andrew nottelling lmao
+andrew nottelling Benghazi.
+milkwad You need a DVR. It's aired all week on Logo and will be on again the 30th and 31st.
It’s on Dailymotion.
I am almost 40 years old and I still have to watch The Great Pumpkin every year.
The Peanuts are an integral part of my childhood, how can anyone not like it :(
I love Halloween specials! One of my favorite things about this time of year.
And Charlie Brown's is the best! It always brings me back to the way we used to celebrate Halloween as kids. Other specials focused on being over the top and unrealistic, but The Great Pumpkin just lets you soak in the atmosphere and reminds you of what Halloween time is really about.
I love Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin! greetings from Chile :)
This channel gets me more hyped for Halloween than anything else. Srsly wasn't feeling the spirit until watching these.
yup its sad people aren't digging older cartoons in general or black and white flicks
This was a nice lookback at Halloween episodes.
The amazing thing about nostalgia is that when putting back some old episodes of TV shows or old Cartoon shows, either American or Japanese Animated, or even European cartoons too.
Looking back on those animated shows from the past, really brings back a sort of nostalgia feeling that you either love it or you hate it depending on how you feel about your own adult life nowdays and your childhood seems so far away.
Sometimes those feelings connect, and sometimes it doesn't depending on how others feel.
Remember the Knight Rider Halloween special? Boy that stuff was better then drugs!
Loved this video. One of your best. Thanks guys!
The most memorable Halloween special for me was the Boy Meets World one where they're stuck in the school with a killer and he's singing over the PA. "Welcome to John Adams high, this is where you're gonna die." Lol.
+PhelanVelvel - That was a great special, inspired by the Scream series right?
_Spoiler_ _Alert_ : Shawn is the killer and it was all a dream sequence >: )
+Joe Kerr - Scream _Movie_ series - franchise, whatever.
+PhelanVelvel Technically not a Halloween special. It was released in February.
+Hidious Vanity Lol, I see. I remembered it as a Halloween episode, my bad! I think maybe I'm remembering it that way because it was shown on Halloween in later years.
I got The Great Pumpkin on VHS for 2 bucks at a used book store a couple of weeks ago. It's so awesome!
I remember The Last Halloween! I REMEMBER THE LAST HALLOWEEN!!!
+jordanromaker same here, i forgot the name until i saw the pics, then i was like "OMFG, i saw that when i was a kid and i didnt know the name of it."
There have been lots of Halloween specials. They were on the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. Rosanne hardly started them. Even Knight Rider had a Halloween special.
I remember that little kid's line in the film "Trick R Teat"
"Charlie Brown is an asshole!"
Cracks me up.
I really like trick r treat. That movie would get a lot more mainstream play if it wasn't as twisted as it is, cuz the writing, and characters are great.
That needs to be a TShirt
I know this is old, but I've been going back through Monster Madness this year since there are no new ones...
My favorite Halloween Special on TV was 1985s The Midnight Hour. It fell right in the heyday for me and horror, when smack in the midst of my teenage years.
Charlie Brown killed the party?! I can't believe it!
It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is a classic. It scared me when I was a little kid haha. Such memories and nostalgia in this series. Love it
Charlie brown and the great pumpkin is ESSENTIAL.
James is so cool! He's an awesome guy and loves Holidays and celebrating them. Theses guys are so much about nostalgia and I love it. They don't care about what people think, they love talking about stuff they loved as kids.
Awesome video guys! I really relate to Roseanne for sure. It's one of my favorite sit calms of all time. It kinda reminds me of how I grew up. I'm more of an 80's kid anyway. I was a teenager in the 90's and did watch some of the other shows mentioned, but as an adult Roseanne is the most Nostalgic. I was just like DJ, playing my Gameboy and trying to fit into school. Even the episodes where he was bullied hits home. It was awesome to see it fleshed out on TV. Awesome, I think I'm gonna watch some Roseanne today LOL.
The Halloween Tree and The Simpson's Halloween episodes of the 90's were the best
+Ali Jan Love The Halloween Tree. Most people I know never heard of it.
Love all the intros! Every single one has me dying of laughter.
jesus christ, Mike, stop cutting James off in every sentence!
Agreed, though he always does it. I've gotten used to it.
Very obnoxious.
And with stuttering no less.
I like the old crew much more than this obnoxious dweeb
James is clearly the only cool one on his entire crop of friends.
I usually am on the same page with you guys on nearly everything on this channel. Every Halloween since the mid-'80s I have gleeful watched Halloween marathons and Halloween specials, like Roseanne and Simpson's ToH. Even today, I'm 38 years old, Halloween gets me all giddy. But I have a zero tolerance rule for goddamn Peanuts and Charlie Brown. And the only Great Pumpkin episode I will watch is "It's the Great Pumpkin Sam Winchester"...
How about Married with Children
I loved when Anthrax was on it.
+Bo88y Beretta yeah and they played "in my world''.i love that episode!
+Bo88y Beretta Fuck yea
+Bo88y Beretta - LOL. "If it came out of the refrigerator, why is it warm"?
+George Bundy Is no one addressing this being George Bundy? No? Ok...
I've collected a lot of the Halloween specials. Every October I watch them with my kids. Helps that we have a Plex server setup to keep it all organized:
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Bobby's World, Boy Meets World, The Cosby Show, Dinosaurs, a ton of Disney Halloween specials, Doug, DuckTales, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Eek! the Cat, Family Matters, The Flintstone Kids, Goosebumps, Hey Arnold!, Home Improvement, It's Punky Brewster, Jem, Johnny Bravo, Life with Louie, the Littles, Marc Summer's Mystery Magical Tour, Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show, Pac-Man, Pound Puppies, Powerpuff Girls, A Pup named Scooby-Doo, The Real Ghostbusters, Recess, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Camp Anawanna, the Simpsons, Step by Step, Super Mario Brothers Super Show, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, Tiny Toon Adventures, You Can't Do That On Television and Weinerville.
That's only some of the ones we have and doesn't include one-shot specials (like Witches Night Out).
wow you pretty much have every single show with Halloween specials but have seen the one special called scary godmother and also how many Halloween movies do you guys watch
Jackson Chambers
i am glad your gonna watch scary godmother its good and for the movies yeah pretty much any horror movie will do but im surprised that you mentioned the stuff movie most people don't know that but i do and James reviewed it few years back on monster madness
I have the same setup on plex. I even have one for Christmas
Jackson Chambers those are all great shows!
Jackson Chambers wow! You listed some great shows that I had forgotten about for years! You have an amazing collection!
James, you make Halloween feel like Halloween for us older people ^.^
15:39 "Mr Toad's Wild Ride"
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS
I really like these videos where you guys just discuss old stuff you grew up with.
Don't forget Punky Brewster had some Horror/Halloween episodes back in 1985
It is funny that you posted this today, because I was just thinking about both Tool Time and Roseanne yesterday and their Halloween episodes. Halloween is the best.
funny thing is I just watched the charlie brown Halloween special yesterday.
+Chris Shaw Why did they air edited version if they're going to air an unedited version the following week?
I wish you guys had mentioned The Halloween Tree with Leonard Nimoy but you guys were BANG on with everything else! This is so far my fav Monster Madness... brought back so many memories!
You're just there to listen to Mike talk, you know that right James.
I airways loved the Disney’s Halloween Treat as a kid. We were truly blessed with holiday specials back in the 80’s and 90’s.
My favorite halloween episode is the MASH one, yeah it's simple but Hawkeye was funny in it!
man, i think this episode hit the nail right on the head. Halloween isn't the same until you actually get in to the spirit of it (no pun intended lol). great episode.!
I'm sorry for your party, James. i love "old" cartoons. i would have stayed and watched it.
I should have watched this episode a few years ago I have been trying to find what the special was called for years then I see you bring it up the last Halloween. Think you so much.
I loved the Garfield Halloween special.. such a nostalgic
One thing he's not is a scaredy cat.
I love when you guys just talk like this to each other. It's great.
I love Halloween, and I agree fuck baseball. My husband and I love Halloween so much that we got married on Halloween. We were in costume, most of the guests were in costume, and even the minister came in costume. We are a sound effect making, super decorated, horror movie watching, everyone in costume, full sized candy bar giving house. Halloween is the best holiday!
Halloween is not a holiday...Its a celebration of Evil... gee
HoboTango actually, it was started by Christians as a way to draw in pagans to convert by using traditions similar to ones they were already used to.

Wow, Buzz kill much?
You two sounds like my kind of people!
Yall sound cool as fuck, nice taste
Honestly, watching the AVGN Halloween Specials has been a yearly tradition for almost five years now. I’ll even make popcorn and open a bag of candy and celebrate!
You can always just get the boxsets for the Simpsons seasons 1-9 and yes those are the only seasons really worth watching. I KNOW
+grrr188 This is top advice.
This is true.
Holy shit! I have been trying to think of the name of that move The Last Halloween for around 6 years. Randomly stumbled upon a picture of it and remembered it from my childhood but couldn't figure out what the hell it was called! Bless you, Cinemassacre! Bless you!
"Hey, any girl would want Mr. Toads Wild Ride"
"They call her Trish the dish" - "Nobody calls me that."
We don't celebrate Halloween over here (at least not in the same way). But I still get a sense of nostalgia when they're talking about these episodes. Because I can relate. I freaking love old Christmas movies, and specials.
Would be cool if they did a video like this in december.
Hate to burst your bubble. but Halloween specials were fairly common in the 60s-90s & The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet had a Halloween special in 1952.
+Jill Sandwich I guess Barry didn't save you in time, so you really became a Jill Sandwich
Almost 2 million subs! You guys deserve it!
If they wanna catch up on the Simpsons, and if they have cable or satellite TV, they should check out the channel FXX. They are CONSTANTLY airing long marathons of the Simpsons almost every day.
I know I'm late but I'm on a Halloween binge right now, but I remember The Last Halloween! It was so weird. It was one of those specials I watched when I was really young but kinda fell out of the list of things I'd watch every year when I got older.
now i understand why Mike doesn't appear that often on the Rental Videos. Cos he's to excited to talk about stuff and keeps cutting ppl haha
Great video. I loved this so much. How dare people leave the party when you play The Great Pumpkin?? Crazy.
I really just want to hear James talk
ryu2044 it would be nice if he was allowed to finish a sentence, right?
Well i was going to search for a Halloween special to watch (having just finished all 7 home improvement specials) and this popped up, watching this again was just as good lol cant wait for this years monster madness =)
7:39
WTF when did shredder's claws start coming directly out of his hands?
I bet an animator got fired for that.
+EHW2 Upon closer inspection it appears he put gloves over the claws
Stupid skin colored fabric
I LOVE Halloween TV specials! I especially loved the Roseanne ones, and I love looking up older Halloween cartoons. I recently found a couple episodes of The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh that were 'spooky' themed... they weren't the most creative or exciting but they definitely had that sweet nostalgia effect, since I loved that show as a child :)
Your talking about tigger when he shows up at poohs and starts carrying on about hefalumps and woozles right?
I like this channel but don't keep up on it because I kinda get sick of Mike's need to take over and his inability to care about what others are saying. You can see him at the beginning getting annoyed that he has to listen to someone else and then jumps in and doesn't allow a word in from James. He does this nearly every time he's in a video and it pisses me off. He's old enough to not be so immature and self-centered. People are more enjoyable to watch and listen to when they know how to give and take.
Han Smith its true.
who is mike and james?
This channel deserves a few million more subs!
