As a child, I was one of many that had the pleasure of watching Disney's Halloween Treat! It's such a fun memory from my childhood because it was something that all of us grandkids shared together! We always watched it at Grandma's because she has it taped. Her taped copy of the program is the ONLY copy I have ever seen of it and there is no way five of us will be able to split it. I hope Disney decides to release Disney's Halloween treat on DVD in possibly both versions. That would be so cool!
If you have never seen the program you should get on "youtube" or find someone who has it taped and see it! I like it mostly because I grew up with it and I LOVE Halloween! My favorite part is the last of the program "the legend of sleepy hollow". I guess its because I love the story of the headless horseman and its narrated by Bing Crosby! Bing is the man! He has such a soothing and likable voice that you can't help but love em'! My next favorite would be "Night on Bald Mountain" which when I was growing up, Night on Bald Mountain was seen for what is it.....a piece of beautiful music and a interesting story behind the music. Today, I fear the religious extremists out there would take it to another level and find it unsuitable for children.
Bringing back such programs as "Disney's Halloween Treat" I think would help restore what my generation has lost in a good ol' Halloween. Today, although people still take their children trick or treating, some of the classic fun has gone away like, the classic television shows that we all knew and loved, toilet papering, staying out late, and good ol' boogyman stories. Halloween is supposed to be fun and do I dare say.....spoooky? Perhaps if we could watch a television show from our past like this one we can remember the good ol' days and maybe recapture them
