Often cited as the second most popular holiday after Christmas, Halloween can certainly stake claim to being one of the "funnest" of all the holidays. Halloween videos are no exception. The quality and entertainment value of Halloween themed video content out there really is second only to the excellent range of movies, commercials, cartoons and sitcoms of Christmas.
Anyway, in keeping with the spirit of this holiday, I've compiled a new list of Halloween videos of all sorts: music videos, commercials, movies, short clips and tv shows. I hope you enjoy them and have a safe and fun holiday.
The Classics
I'm using this term very loosely. Yes, Halloween doesn't really have the same depth of "classic" videos that Christmas has what with Rudolph, A Charlie Brown Christmas and The Grinch. Still, there are some Halloween classics that are a cut above the rest. Here are a few of them:
1. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (click to watch)
2. Looney Tunes: Broomstick Bunny (click to watch)
3. Scooby Doo: The Headless Horseman of Halloween (click ...ch)
4. Donald Duck: Trick or Treat (click to watch)
5. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (click to watch)
6. TV Movie: The Halloween That Almost Wasn't (click to watch)
Scary (and some not-so-scary) Movies
Sure horror films can be enjoyed year round, but this genre was positively made for Halloween. It's no accident that the studios often release some of their biggest budget films in this genre at this time of year. Here are a few picks from the proverbial pumpkin patch:
