[@mydadshowering2978]

I remember in Year 7 we got a piece of English homework where we had to write something, but we had a list of words that we couldn't use. One of them was the word "mean" so I found the word "cantankerous" in a thesaurus and I loved it so I used it every single time I got the chance for a few years.

I would also recommend the "Summerween" episode of Gravity Falls. It's 100% a Halloween episode despite taking place in the summer because the town likes Halloween so much they celebrate it twice a year, the antagonist is creepy, and the characterization is great of course. 10/10 do recommend.

So I got a theory about Ghoul School: there’s actually a split in the timeline in what I call “The Green Shirt” and “The Red Shirt” timelines. If you remember in the live action Scooby Doo movie they kick out Scrappy. I believe this is where the split happens. If they ditch scrappy the team stays strong and all the good shows with Shaggy in the green shirt land here. If they don’t kick Scrappy out, slowly Scrappy splits the gang and Shaggy dons a red shirt and hangs out with Scooby and Scrappy.

Interesting fact about "And Then There Was Shawn": it was NOT the Halloween episode of that season. Earlier in season 5, they aired the episode "The Witches of Penbrook," where Jack dates a witch and it's up to Eric to save him (it also has a subplot with Corey and Topanga on an airplane that literally has no resolution). That episode is explicitly set during Halloween, and aired in late October. "And Then There Was Shawn" aired during February sweeps. So it came way the fuck out of nowhere. It's so strange that possibly the best Halloween episode of any kid's show isn't even a Halloween episode.

Which explains why the rest of the gang isn't present, why Scrappy is present in some of them, and why he randomly has a girlfriend named Googy (or whatever her name was) who mysteriously disappears and never returns in any other red shirt shaggy movie.

Over the Garden wall is the best show ever in my opinion. I've studied animation and I got goosebumps in multiple episodes and scenes and the storyline is great. They even had some old school animation tactics which weirdly enough got me a bit emotional. Animation has gotten less about art and more about production, which is understandable as it's cheaper and quicker but it doesn't make it better, so I was amazed that there were still animation studios out there that actually cared about their work enough to use old tactics. Just watch the highwayman scene, it's amazing.

Ok this video is almost two years old but we're approaching Halloween season so I have hope someone might read this and also be a Scooby Doo fan. If anyone is looking for shockingly good Scooby Doo content, I highly recommend Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated (it's on Netflix). It has ongoing plot throughout the series, the characters get arcs and are sort of fleshed out, there are references to lots of horror movies if you're a horror fan. It's just generally really fun and I just really love Scooby Doo, and hope someone else enjoys this show!

"Under Wraps" is not only a DCOM, it is the first DCOM ever made.

[@JACCO20082012]

Mack Debruin what about Susie Q?

[@mackdebruin999]

@@JACCO20082012 A fine question my friend. I blog about movies and have researched the subject quite a bit. So "Suzie Q" was produced by Super RTL television in 1996 and thus "Suzie Q" was aired on Disney Channel because of RTL's partnership with Disney. When Disney decided to go to basic cable in the mid 90's they wanted to draw in their now larger audiences (beforehand you wanted Disney, you had to pay, now it was free). This change came about with the creation of DCOMs as a way to provide premium content to the new and old viewers, thus with a release schedule around Halloween, "Under Wraps" was made and aired in 1997. Due to the finalization of the switch from paid to free Disney Channel content, it is controversial as to what the first DCOM was EXACTLY. But those behind the scenes at Disney (At least at the time) claim "Under Wraps" was the first film they greenlit with the "DCOM" brand in mind.

In an alternate universe, a soft spoken and down to earth KZbinr named Johnny Mickelstone also made a top 10 (15) list of his favourite Halloween media to enjoy over the holiday.

I initially felt silly for wanting to comment on such an old video, but other people have also commented just recently, so... Why not! Anyway, I wanted to say the child actor playing "Skeleton Boy" in that Haunting Hour episode is actually named Sean Michael Kyer, and has been in a pretty good amount of stuff, one of his most notable roles was a young scientist boy named Oscar in the live action kids show "Odd Squad". He's definitely talented, and I'm shocked I didn't notice him in previous watches of this video through the years.

To me this is like a discussion I had on whether Lord of the Rings is a Christmas movie or not. It fits the mood for me, probably because I watched the movies around Christmas time when they first came out and later my brother and I had the tradition of watching the extended cuts on the 25th. Thematically it‘s not connected at all but it‘s still a Christmas movie to me. I do understand that it wouldn‘t be the case for most people though. Die Hard for example is technically more tied to Christmas but even though it‘s one of my favorite movies I never watched it on Christmas. I don‘t know, maybe there are official definitions of what constitutes a Halloween or Christmas movie. To me it‘s any movie that I connect with watching it on that holiday. What does Apocalypse Now have to do with Easter other than me trying to watch it through without falling asleep and failing every time on Easter weekend?

[@lydiafayre9806]

@@btarczy5067 The channel "Folding Ideas" did a really interesting video on the very topic. I advocate for really loose methods of categorization. While I don't buy the idea that the quality of a thing is determined solely by whether you like it, I think the categorization pretty much should be determined through that method. For me, Babette's Feast is a christmas movie. It's not a christmas movie by very many aesthetic aspects, except that it's about people coming together to celebrate with good food. I think that's a perfectly valid qualifier, but I know that a lot of people, like the person I was previously discussing this with, might not see that as enough.

As for the twists in "Don't Look Under the Bed": Just watched this movie for the first time last night and the twists are impossible not to see coming a mile away as an adult.
