7/10
An Enjoyable Classic
1 November 2018
You know, I'm not the most enormous fan of Charlie Brown stuff. My favorite specials are the Christmas one everyone knows, and the Easter one I'm super nostalgic about. I sort of grew-up on this special, as well, but it's never been one of my absolute favorite Halloween specials ever, even though I believe it's certainly one of the most creative and well-made Halloween specials on the face of the earth.

This is a special special. It's timeless, in many ways, and I can enjoy that. I just think it's a little overhyped.

The animation style and smoothness is great, and the music is wonderful, as per usual for anything involving Charlie Brown.

This is one of my mom's favorite things to watch, and I pretty much always watch it with her, every year.

I'm not really a fan of the moments like the Red Berring scene-that's a little out-of-place, in my opinion, and it's a good four or five minutes of this special.

Everything else really recreates that October and Fall feeling we all feel, as children. That's what makes this a special special, and it's the reason I'll be watching it every year, as long as I live.

The humor is probably the best of all the Charlie Brown specials, also. My personal favorite joke is what Lucy says about a girl's costume needing to be the contrast of her personality (which she, a mean kid, in general, pulls a witch mask over her face lol).

If you haven't seen this one, try it out sometime. It's pretty nice, and a pleasant treat for Halloweentime.
