    Great list. One note, Candace Cameron Bure's married name is actually pronounced "Burr-ay". Her husband is former NHL hockey player Valeri Bure.

    In the animated section, I would loke like to add "Bunnicula: The Vampire Rabbit" from Ruby-Spears Productions back in 1982. It has Halloween vibes.

    Beauty and the Beast (1987 series) season 1 episode 5. Masques. Vincent can walk on Halloween night with no covering on. He and Catherine become involved with a woman who is in danger. Great episode. One of my favorites.

    Great Video! Does anyone remember back in 1989 when one of my favorites was in 1989 when one of my favorite shows: Unsolved Mysteries did their first Halloween specials that featured paranormal activity with real families? After that every year Unsolved Mysteries did a Halloween special that asked the question: are ghosts real?

    Yes! I still love that episode of Benson with one of my all time favorite vampires, Blacula himself, William
    Marshall as G.Reaper. I’m so glad you included Garfield, Mr. Boogedy, Dark Night of the Scarecrow and Midnight Hour. I went back and rewatched a few of these recently and I’m glad to see others appreciate this stuff as much as I do. Thanks.

    I watched the Midnight Hour when it first aired in 1985 when I was 13, and have watched it every year since. Hard to believe it's 40 years old now…

    I imagine Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be very busy for you. Maybe consider a Top 5 holiday theme for each thing (television show, movie, cartoon, song, music video).
