Over the years, many programs have chosen to celebrate Halloween in some form or other. Here, we present to you a collection of the Halloween-themed episodes or specials related to Saturday morning programs. Now, while some of the shows could be considered Halloween-like 24/7, we're looking at the particularly scary episodes or the ones where Halloween is clearly present.
We're taking some liberties with specials that were made after the production of a particular show wrapped, but maintained enough of the same cast and crew to really be considered part of the same program. We won't be looking at the various Scooby-Doo direct-to-video movies as they are a franchise all their own with no particular connections to any one show. A special exception was made for Garfield's Halloween Adventure because we feel that one doesn't get nearly enough love.
Did we get them all? Probably not. But we think we have a nice offering to fill your plastic Halloween pail that will hold you over to at least Christmas. Or sooner, if you really want to risk the upset tummy.
What are your favorite Halloween specials and episodes? Let us know in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter @SatMForever.
