Diagonaldi Very well executed

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

gizmomogwai Christmas and Halloween are a kid's favourite holidays, and they're foils to each other, really. If Dr. Seuss could provide the great Christmas special (How the Grinch Stole Christmas, 1966), surely the Grinch would be ripe for a Halloween special. Halloween is Grinch Night is a thirty-minute cartoon that debuted on TV in 1977.Maybe they waited too long to make this, because unfortunately the Grich is ed his best before date. Halloween is Grinch Night features weak songs, weak jokes and weak animation (the Christmas special looks great if you've seen it on Blu-ray). Unfortunately, Boris Karloff having died in 1969, the Grinch has a new voice and it's just not the same. The Grinch's dog Max is miserable, and he shouldn't be such all the time. He's a lot cuter in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He even sings a song (in his head) about his misery, which is a mistake given that we never hear his thoughts in the 1966 cartoon- he's a silent character. Finally, what exactly does the Grinch *do* on "Grinch Night"? With the Whos all secure in their houses, what is there for him to do? This special suggests he scares people with elaborate visions that look like a bad drug trip, but it doesn't explain how he does that. Halloween is Grinch Night is a curiosity, but it just doesn't measure up to the Christmas classic and it's not surprising it didn't achieve the same level of immortality.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love to have a good scare from watching a really good horror movie, or just watch a classic animated special like this one. I this special WAY back when I was a kid in elementary school, when it was on TV of course. But they don't show it on TV anymore now, along with The Halloween Tree, which is another favorite of mine and a few other favorites too. But I was lucky to order myself a copy from Amazon.ca.It's also a great film about facing your fears, like Ukaraiah did to save Whoville by jumping in The Grinch's wagon of spooks, to stall for time. Now that scene REALLY scared the hell out of me as a kid. I would like point the interesting critters of Punker's Pond. The Gree Grumps like pink cats living in tree stumps (I am a cat lover), but I wonder what does the bottom half of an Hakken-Krakke look like? a seal's body? or the body of an Plesiosaurus? well I don't know, but it never hurts to use your imagination.

SimpsonsRock11 I absolutely love this cartoon...only gripe...it's a little scary for really little kids. It's not really like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, even though it does involve Whos and Whoville, but I like how it's more like the other Dr. Seuss cartoons than the Grinch Christmas special. (But don't get me wrong... I love that one too!)

Bartgirl05 This was originally called "Halloween is Grinch Night", but was probably changed after it occurred to the producers that it had nothing to do with Halloween.Has great music, great plotline, and that Wuzzy Wuzu is cute! The animation's more Dr. Seuss-y than in other grinch 'toons, but it's not as good as How the Grinch Stole Christmas!There are continuity issues when you compare this one to the Christmas one, but you'll have to watch both of them to figure out what I mean.
