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.

@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

@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.

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.

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

[UndeadLavender]

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

[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

@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.)...

[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? :(

Remember this from my childhood, oh yeah!

[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.

[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.

Wow, this brings back memories, I probably watched it like 50 times when I was a little kid
