[UndeadLavender]

i want this on dvd this quality....wanna make a sale?

[Purdys]

@UndeadLavender I second that motion. Would you like to make two?

[Purdys]

HOLY CRAP!!!!! HOW ON EARTH DID YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON A REMASTERED VERSION?! Was this your doing or a dvd release? Just a million thank yous for making this available for Disney fans of the 80's and 90s. If you remastered this yourself, I can't imagine a better job. Quality work here. I can't wait for Disney's Halloween:D

By chance, have you seen From From Disney w/ Love Valentine Day special? It can be found on YT but in old quality. If you like these specials, you'd enjoy that one as well.:D

I believe the original 1980s version did not have this pumpkin narrator. It was the Magic Mirror. It was the famous one with a real person's face and black lighting to look as if it floated.

[AtariTiger]

@Fiddlemaster56 No disrespect, but I believe you should WIKI this one first.

@AtariTiger

the original had Hans Conreid as the magic mirror. I still have the original on VHS that I taped 25 years ago. I just burned it onto DVD but I don't have the quality you do. This version is different but is so much better that I think I'll copy this

[AtariTiger]

@monkink1 Could you be talking about Disney's Greatest Villains? It was hosted by the Magic Mirror. The first Halloween special, as far as I know, was about a security guard in the Disney props room who finds a crystal ball.. Then this, Disney's Halloween Treat, was made in the 80's, followed by Disney's Halloween (the Magic Mirror version), which used scenes from both DHT and Disney's Greatest Villians.

[disneyfan85]

@AtariTiger "Disney's Greatest Villains" is an updated version of a 1956 Disneyland episode called "Our Unsung Villains". And "A Disney Halloween" (which has the Magic Mirror from "Disney's Greatest Villains") was released in 1983 on The Disney Channel as part of that channel's very first Halloween and has always aired on that station for many years since then.

@disneyfan85 LOL...I just posted that comment and then saw yours, lol...oh well, I miss those Disney Halloween specials...I remember when all the cartoon characters had specials for various holidays (Disney, Peanuts, Looney Tunes, etc.)...

[Fiddlemaster56]

@AtariTiger You know what?  I'm thinking of "A Disney Halloween" (minus the Treat in the title). That version had the magic mirror as the narrator. The names are so close that I mixed them up. I remembered the other version more.

[fivebearrugs]

@AtariTiger Jonathan Winters played the security guard as well as Jack, the pumpkin. :) 1983's A Disney Halloween utlized both 1982's Disney's Halloween Treat and 1977's Disney's Greatest Villains (which was an updated version of 1956's Our Unsung Villains). Ah, why oh why didn't Disney ever put those on DVD? :(

[jask54]

@Fiddlemaster56 No that was A Disney Halloween...thats a whole different special

[Fiddlemaster56]

@jask54 yeah Soon as I looked that up from you pointing it out, I see the mixup. The two names are way too close. No wonder I had them turned around. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice remastering. Thanks for posting these! It always puzzles me as to why Disney never released this on DVD. It's such a classic. And there's nothing else like it!

[RakiSaeki]

So awesome quality... Hope I could do the same with my spanish recorded vhs...! Thanks!

[F1315NJ]

0.0 Holy moly. Great audio quality, nice video editing, and good video quality. Kudos to you, dude!

[robjv1]

Very cool, working on a very similar project like this myself although still need a few of the Disney DVD titles to finish the job.

What VCR did you use for the VHS portions (the pumpkin intro and such)?

[AtariTiger]

@robjv1 Glad to hear ya liked it ^_^

My VCR is a Panasonic/DVD combo, not sure which model though, but it was bought years ago.. I used a Canopus ADVC300 to transfer the video, and an audio-editing program to eliminate the tape noise. But I credit the VHS tape I used for the quality of the pumpkin scenes. it's an actual, 1984 VHS release.
