    On MTV after they made the poor decision to stop Liquid Television, they need to make another animated showand they made Cartoon Sushi. Halloween the year that show was a thing, they had a marathon of it with the Halloween episode, which was only the opening video to Abe's Oddysee, the PC version. They did it a la MST3K's Turkey Day tradition.

    A bunch of male hosts existed before Vampira, The sex appeal basically made the previous male predecessors as obsolete lol. Joe Bob Briggs interviews them all! he created a lovely tribute series.

    It's a miniseries rather than just a single episode/special/movie, but Over the Garden Wall is the BEST Halloween thing to watch. Like, it is amazing. This time of year I can't stop singing its praises. And it's definitely for family viewing; while it can be quite scary, it's not graphic, but adults will get as much out of it if not more than the kids will. If anyone hasn't seen it, I promise you won't regret it.

    19:19 "Both are great for Halloween" despite one of them taking place at Christmas. "You've got this crazy frog" I think, and I could be wrong, that Mr. Toad is a toad, and not a frog. "And he goes to hell, I think, right at the end of it, right?" Er, no, not at all.

    When I was a kid I met John Zachary. My baby met him at a convention and wound up becoming his friend, I myself remember hanging with him when I was I think I was 8 or 9. He taught me how to make a Jell-O amoeba with a hard boiled egg inside so it was pregnant??( It was cause they split, not lay eggs.) He was a really great guy and an even better person.

    You guys are way behind the times boys. Halloween. Themed episotde go all way back to the early 1960s. A Route 66 episode I think with Karloff, Lorre and Chaney. They've were others now and then way before Roseanne, trust me.

    Fun fact: the shot at the 2 minute mark is from when Mr. Lobo was a guest on Creature Features, another horror host show that is currently in its third rendition and has been going strong since the 70's. They're on YouTube as @creaturefeatures3.
