  • HALLOWEEN IS NOT A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY!!!

  • I'm disappointed that Disney would propagate the pernicious myth that people tamper with Halloween candy.

  • @Jcolinsol That fear was quite big back then, even if it started on false rumors. And parents were (and still are) concerned for there kids enough to make sure they check the candy they get. Take a moment and realize that Halloween is the only time of year when parents let kids take candy from strangers, something that is usually frowned upon.

  • @CidTheNinja

    Heh heh, yes, parents are very frightened of strangers being nice to children, but this business about Halloween candy is a total myth. There have been one or two cases of non-lethal candy tampering, but the only cases of poisoning were perpetrated by the parents themselves. Seems like, if anything, kids should be warned that their own family is more likely to harm them, than strangers.

  • brinks back all of my most fondest halloween memories. :)

  • The intro music that starts at 0:05 kicks ass.That music alone puts me in a halloween mood.

  • Is the scene in 0:49 - 0:54 from a movie.

  • This os 2 cool had to watch it a lil early

  • Ah, the Haunted Mansion scenes look to be from the Disneyland version rather than the Magic Kingdom (Walt DisneyWorld version)

  • this is fake

  • @TheAlvinandbrittney hows it fake?

  • what disney cartoon is this from @ 4:09?

  • @sailormoonfaiza The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

  • @sailormoonfaiza the legend of sleepy hollow

  • 0:27  what is that ? some sort of show ? it looks cool :D

  • I loved Disney when I was younger. It was so meaningful than what it is now. Shows like Hanna Montana in no way contributes to educating kids, but just something like this is very educational. It takes the time to properly inform people about what Halloween really was. The same goes for 'Christmas'. Little do people actually know what it truly was, which was a pegan ceremony to celebrate their surviving the harsh winter.

  • YAY Happy SAMHAIN!

  • I don't mean to sound corny, but this was a really cool production. I miss the old Disney Channel, a lot.

  • @TenderTrap86 I don't think you sound corny. You speak like a true retro fan.

  • @F1315NJ Thanks. In fact I just watched the old recording of Disney's Halloween Treat the other night. We have a tape with a whole bunch of other Halloween progams from a long time ago. I don't like them and all I can enjoy is the Disney stuff now. It was really great. Hope they release some of that gold on DVD.

    Happy Halloween. : 0 :)

  • As PeeWee Herman once said,

    "Be careful not to eat any candy that you can shave with".

  • Wow, the narrator not only told the history of Halloween, but also gave viewers advice on safe trick or treating which is what all parents should know and teach their children instead of locking them up from the world for the stupidest reasons. Check your bags, examine the treats, if anything looks suspicious, tell the police. Good advice there. Since I don't trick or treat anymore, I attend parties with close friends to remember that Halloween isn't just for kids.

  • this is fuct....I scared out of my reality.

  • Interesting Halloween history: Dressing up in costumes were originally started a couple of thousand years ago by Drooids, Halloween was really New Years for the wicked, and superstitions are believed by non-fictional characters such as witches and goons. What the hell? Funny, but c'mon. What about the REAL history. And the narrorator was evil all along. Hahaha...

  • It's amazing, they really got the history right. Well done, Disney! Now, I want to show this to nearly everyone who doesn't know the history of the holiday. *sighs* I guess I can always direct them here, to YouTube.

  • Is it just me or this still kinda gives you chills even though you are an adult now

  • I read the Irish brought the custom of Halloween over(YAY!). Then the overly religious people already in America and the media hyped it up as Devil's night or worshiping evil just because they never bothered to try and understand. How'd everything get so mixed up?

    Of course I don't mind the trick or treating part added. ;)

  • This was great!! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could add this to my collection. :-)

  • @lunarmansion Sorry, I meant to click the THUMBS UP button.

  • Disney used to be so good. Now its all crap. They need to make a channel for the classics. Kinda like Teletoon Retro.

  • Somebody could please tell me in wich cartoon appears that black cat at 5:27?

  • The Great Cat Family. It is on youtube too.

  • Ok, Thankew.

  • Makes you realize how lame and useless Disney has become huh.

    I wish they would make a "Classic' Channel instead of catering to tweens and Hannah groupies.

  • You SAID it!

  • @eryngobra amen, brother. hell, Cartoon Network did so with Boomerang

  • @eryngobra Amen, dude. Amen. I mean Cartoon Network has Boomerang. Why can't Disney do the same? Have a new channel called 'Vault Disney'?

  • @F1315NJ It does sound like a good idea, and I would occasionally tune in, but they wouldn't do it because it more profitable to keep pieces of their collection in the vault, and then release them on discs for paying customers. Not that I mind, as it's reassuring to have something that Leonard Maltin compiled in a Disney Treasure available on your shelf.

  • @eryngobra Amen brotha'.

  • @eryngobra me to i miss the old disney channel

  • Lol at these comments, people frickin over analyze stuff like this....It's retarded....

    Ty for sharing this video it was a great flashback and has awesome memories :)

  • Wonderfully nostalgic cartoon, but in reality, kids have more to fear from people they already know than from strangers (i.e. a bully or relative). Statistics clearly show this. Very few cases exist where a stranger has harmed trick-or-treaters. The old razor-in-the-apple story was based on only one incident.

  • I miss the good old days too..I love these cartoons and I wish they came back:(

  • i like the talking pumpkin. he looks manly and cool. just like other monsters. don't you agree, MacEricG?

  • It's cute children's fun! I miss the good old days when this kind of Disney shows were aired, rather than the horrible disgusting torture and unnecessary gore that goes on! It was innocent fun back then, not this gory stuff that teach kids to live in fear and fill their minds with evil. I am a teacher and see it everyday, times have changed unfortunately.

  • Why can't ppl just stop with the annoying political correctness and enjoy life and fun?

  • I agree, and that's why I posted some facts here.

  • @ouzsubu

    I know, people who are overreligous or easily offended by almost everything need to lighten up and see that Halloween is nothing to get upset about. Even if some bad things might have happened at the start of this holiday, that's all been changed. Yet it's also sad some overprotective parents won't let their kids trick-or-treat because of religious nonsense.

  • Halloween is more of an event than a time of worship, isn't it?

    I would be more concerned about the real Christian holidays that have seen their meaning diluted into material symbolism, such as Easter and Christmas.

  • How is Paganism non-religious? Most Christian holidays were borrowed and modified from the traditions of the pagans (Druids as the video says) who were unfortunately converted and assimilated.

  • @MacEricG yes... religion is very much diluted in nature.

  • @MacEricG its always been a time of worship and thankfulness, just depends who you are

  • @MacEricG Walt disney was a 33rd degree freemason... fact

  • @MacEricG True....I long for the feelings i get at Christmas time, seeing the decorations, the holly, the mistle toe, the tree, the star, the presents, the fire, the nativity scene, rudolph, frosty, and santa.......T_T

  • @MacEricG Actually, Halloween is a Christian holiday. Halloween is short for All Hallows Eve. "Hallow" is the Old English word for saint, as November 1st is the All Saints Day, when the Catholic Church asks for prayers from the souls that are in Heaven. November 2nd, is All Souls Day, when the Catholic Church prays for the souls of the faithful departed, in Purgatory. Halloween was traditionally seen as a day to remember the souls in Hell. These 3 days are called Hallowtide, or Days of the Dead.

  • @TenderTrap86

    Yes, but it's not like the Catholic church is exactly Christian.

  • @TenderTrap86 wrong wrong wrong!!! You need to brush up on your history before you open your mouth.

  • lol but pagans rule!

  • @32933ad You do get that the reason we call Halloween "Halloween" is because of the church. They taught the Celts that we should hallow the dead. if it wasn't for the church it'd still be called Samhain. And there's nothing wrong with kids dressing up as monsters and trick-or-treating. And having a few good scares on that wonderful night--Oct 31st. Why would God be angry at something so innocent bringing joy to so many people, like me! All you are doing is scaring people away from Christianity.

  • @32933ad Christmas has Pagan rituals as well. Is Christmas evil? The pine tree (Christmas tree) was taken from a Pagan ritual, as well as Dec 25th. That was the day the ritual took place if I'm mistaken. And the Catholic church took these symbols--like Halloween-- and changed them. They put the star that guided the three wise men to Jesus on the pine tree. And they made the day of the ritual Christ's birthday.

  • @32933ad

    Watch: The History of Christmas (everything fun is pagan in our holidays).

    If these things made "the most high" angry sure we'd see something pretty direct like a talking cloud spitting fire LoL. Don't take these things too seriously, have fun with life.

  • @32933ad I'm sure if we respect the dead and celebrate their memory rather than mourn them the Big Guy will cut us some slack.

  • @32933ad no its just a lot of fun for kids but just so you know christmas was originally a pagan holiday

  • @32933ad listen im christian and i beleive i celebrate halloween for the scares and fun its only a sin if you make it a sin get what im saying? if you do it knowing its bad and you mean it to be bad then its bad but if its just innocent fun i see nothing wrong with it

  • @XxRiiandNaoxX Here here!

  • @32933ad Hey, so is Christmas, but whatever.

  • this is kind of spooky

  • Thank you for posting, I have a question though. There was this cartoon that would air on Disney every Halloween and it was two kids, one yellow and one orange and their male babysitter (he was red) and a witch came to them and turned them into what they were dressed up as to go trick or treating, I think one was a ghost, a monster and a werewolf. I can't find it anywhere or the name.... does it ring a bell to anyone?

  • yeah, A Witche's Night Out

  • Omg, thank you so much! I LOVED that show and I couldn't find it for the life of me. I was starting to think i made it up in my head!

  • your welcome, i remember watching it as a little kid that and Mr Boogity, although mr boogity scared the shit out of me even though it was on the disney channel

  • Yeah! you're right! Disney sucks now.

  • Oh the memories, sucks that they don't show these anymore along with a Disney Halloween and a Disney Christmas, Disney Channel is total crap now, we should protest to bring the oldies back! Thanks so much for posting this, this was one of the memories I had as a child.

  • Yeah, It's now The Dismal Channel, instead of The Disney Channel.

  • dood, i remember this video. I think I still have it. Thats awsome, im gonna bust it out tommorow.

  • hey how you doin? wanna party in my pants, eh?

  • i personally didnt think this was bad

  • audio preview!!

    weeeee!!!! x3

  • I find it stupid when people say Halloween is the Devil's Birthday

  • i know me too its so stupid :P

  • it really is, many cultures celebrate it differently

  • @Rcp123190 Very sensible. I vaguely remember reading somewhere in a book of biblical research that Adam and Eve were created around October. I'm just saying this to make a point, not to bring up any religious matter.

  • @Jakegothicsnake... No no I understand what you mean without bring up anything religious lol....Think about it though. In religon, it says that the Devil was an angel. God's most beatiful angel. Not a human born on this earth plain i guess u can call it lol...So thats why I say its stupid when people say that lol

  • @Rcp123190 I know, I absolutely agree! :)

  • @Rcp123190 same here, to me personally it's a time of celebration because it's the one night where spirits of loved one who have passed on can come back to earth

  • oh my gosh! i have a video that i recorded with all of these episodes on it! :D

    i love love love halloween!

  • was it Disney's Hallowen Treat/A Disney Halloween?

  • Yea :P

  • I couldn't love this video much more! Thanks much for the spOoOoOoky post!

  • did make this video

  • Excues me whare could i get disney's hauted halloween ?

  • I believe it is out-of-print, but you may be able to still find it with educational VHS distributors.

  • A rather nice little "treat" from the Disney vault. :D
