AKA: Garfield in Disguise
The fat orange cat loves Halloween. What's not to love? You get to dress up like a pirate and demand free candy from strangers. This one used to spook me when I was a kid because there was an actual element of danger to it. That's what used to make Halloween fun. Specials like this, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown still occupy a part of the brain I long associate with childhood. This is still worth revisiting nearly 40 years later.

I re-watched this one a few months ago. It's a classic.
ReplyDeleteThe creepy bits in the old house are really well done, and pretty unexpected.
Odie is great; even though he's being exploited, he stays true to his nature.
