Thanks buddy. This thread exists purely for my own enjoyment so if anyone else looks at it that's a bonus.
I LOOOOOOOVE Hedgehog in the Fog.
I also recommend Norstein's Take of Tales aka The Little Gray Wolf Will Come if you haven't seen it yet. I revisited it recently, and it's quite superb.
I'm a 5th grade teacher. I used to teach 4th grade, which had a bigger emphasis on tone/mood in text.Popcorn Reviews wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 1:13 amI also recommend Norstein's Take of Tales aka The Little Gray Wolf Will Come if you haven't seen it yet.

Also, just out of curiosity, what do you teach?
These two are how I like to start my Horrorthon every year. I think the original has appeared in my Horrorthon every year that I've done it.Captain Terror wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 10:41 pm

aka the Citizen Kane of this thread
It's been a challenge finding a decent print of Cobweb Hotel but I'm still looking. Even my DVD copy is cruddy. And yeah, Skeleton Frolic is just frickin' gorgeous. Had to restrain myself from posting more stills of that one.
Oh, I forgot this one, I absolutely love this one!
Best part of this is how the VASES go through the wall, too.
Why would you think modern films aren't welcome here?
Ghost physics. It's completely legit.
I will add to the chorus of praise for this series. It is really good and straddles that line between scary and weird in a pretty amazing way.Slentert wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 2:45 pmI have said this about every fall the past few years, but y'all should really watch Over The Garden Wall. It is an animated miniseries, but it takes you less than 2 hours to finish the entire thing. It's an ideal primer for the Halloween season. There are very few things I rewatched more in the past 3 years. It's funny, creepy, moving and it has nice, catchy songs (but only sparsely).
This is one of my all-time favorites. I had the book-and-record.
The Haunted House and The Mad Doctor are, in my opinion, two of the best examples of American animation. I absolutely cannot get enough of those two.Captain Terror wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:42 amMICKEY MOUSE

Yeah, I was definitely not a Disney kid growing up. In fact, as far as I know I'd never seen Trick or Treat until I found it for the first version of this thread. But as an adult I've come to realize that they were really firing on all cylinders during the 30s/40s. That's hardly news to anybody, it's just that I hadn't been paying attention for most of my life. In terms of artwork and animation their shorts from that era look every bit as great as their features.
Well, I'm glad it does, cause I have a few nits to pick with the writers! I mean, Zoe is a "zombie", but can see and walk through things? Where does that come from?Captain Terror wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 3:36 pmAnd yes, Super Monsters counts. I mean, don't ask me to watch it or anything, but yeah...
