Have we forgotten any given incarnation of Scooby Doo?

As for anything else, CN used to run the Beetlejuice cartoon and the H-B Addams Family cartoon (the good 90s version; not the much-inferior 70s one). Why not search those out?

Scary Godmother's also pretty good, if you want that Halloween nostalgia if you were a kid in the early 2000's.

I'm rather sad CN doesn't seem to be showing as much Halloween specials as they used too.

Makes me rather nostalgic cause it barely feels like a holiday anymore.

Scary Godmother

Oh my god #nostalgia

"Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear!"

Jimmy was such a little turd, but that was the coolest line to me when I was younger.

Ugh, I miss "classic CN" so much. All of those lame Christmas/Halloween/Valentine Day specials/commercials just seem so special in so hindsight.

Well, not that I'm missing the reruns of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. But that Casper's Christmas TV film, eh, I could stand to watch it again.

[up]x2 It is pretty sad that Cartoon Network as of late don’t do shit during the holiday seasons.

Speaking of shows and specials to watch for the season, here are my suggestions:

  • The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Everybody joked how it’s reminiscent to a certain Creepypasta. And for that I agree with most of it. The show itself bask in the creepy imageries it shows and goes into very dark corners in their epiaodes. It is the reason why it was one of my favorite cartoons during high school.
  • The Regular Show Halloween Specials: Yeah its recent, but it is a very good Halloween treat every year. It emulates the whole horror anthology concept that Simpsons did with their Treehouse of Horrors, and it did it awesomely.
  • That Scooby Doo Blair Witch parody: You know that one special vingnate during Halloween of the late 90s which made fun of that infamous found footage film? If you find them, you will enjoy it.
  • Any of the Animated Scooby Doo movies: This goes without saying, but my recommendation includes those 80s tv movie (Boo Brothers, Ghoul School, Relunctant Werewolf), the late 90s early 2000s films (Zombie Island, Witch’s Ghost, Alien Invader and Cyber Chase) and some of the recent ones (yes including WWE ones). Those are good watch.
  • Franken-Hole: Adult Swim related but still a great watch. Basically the creator of Moral Orel’s take on Universal Monsters, which is by far the best portrayal of said monsters.
  • Daffy Duck Quackbusters: Technically its an anthology film but still a good watch for horror related Looney Tunes cartoons.
  • Justice League episode staring Doctor Destiny: Basically a TV PG A Nightmare on Elm Street episode, except super heroes are the target. Its one of my favorite Justice League episode. For that matter:
  • Batman The Brave and The Bold: Two episodes really. One where Psycho Pirate captured the Outsides and make them live their nightmares so he can feast off their fears. Like the JL episode it basically a good exploration on the psychology of the characters; sans Black Lightning who is the one given a joke fear instead of one to expect from the character (y’know with the whole gang violence he experienced in Suicide Slums). The other episode is the one where Batman becomes a vampire; yep just like that Elseworld story.
  • Teen Titans: Y’know, that one incredibly dark episode. The one where Artemis and Zatanna hang out on Halloween, and ended up being stalked by this psychopath name Harm. During the night they encounter this girl who only said ‘Secret’. They eventually learn said girl is actually a ghost, and was murdered by Harm who is her brother. The whole episode comes off as a pretty good Japanese Horror in an american cartoon.
  • Something From the Actual Teen Titans Cartoon: That movie that does a good retelling of the first couple of issues of New Teen Titans with Trigon. There Raven has a Will They Won’t They relationship with Robin (the forth one, or is it the fifth since Stephanie was technically Robin), Blue Bettle is on the team, Trigon tries to control the Justice League an- wait this movie never aired on Cartoon Network. Which sucked as they aired the other DC movies like New Frontier and Green Lantern First Flight.

Wow most of my list is just comprised of movies and specials the network aired for syndications.

The one CN Halloween episode I find myself liking the best, now that I think of it, would probably be the Cow And Chicken one where the Red Guy is a Space Ghost parody and they dress up like their parents and everyone thinks they're adults who are trick-or-treating.

Funnily enough, when they put out a CN Halloween DVD all the way back in '03 or so they had Cow And Chicken on it... and it wasn't the actual Halloween episode!

[up] Speaking of Cow & Chicken, remember that Dream Catcher episode? The one where Chicken was having a sleep over with Flim and Earl, and Cow wants to join and presents her dream catcher to the boys. While she was asleep, the boys fuck with her trinket, which released all her dreams into reality; including her nightmares which was of a milkman that wants to drain everything and everyone of their milk.

Goddamn this show and its Double Entrendres. Chicken, Flim and Earl was technically raped in that episode.

[up]Nope. Totally intentional. Always considered Young Justice Truer to Text Teen Titans. Just like how I called Justice League the Truer to Text Superfriends.tongue

[up] Yeah it does, under the name Justice League of America. Hell, the intro to Challenge of the Superfriends even refer to the team as The Justice League of America.

[up] (3) It's still not Teen Titans. tongue

I was racking my brain trying to figure out what dark episode you were talking about. The only episodes from YJ that stick out in memory were the first couple, the one where the League was brainwashed and Superboy and Robin had to fight their mentors, the one with Lobo, and the finale.

[up] Well they r mah Titans, dammit!

Anyway, admittedly I should of been more specific and say the Halloween episode, since after all there is only one Halloween episode in the entire series and there are one too many dark Young Justice episode.

From the one where the team must fight offt an alien invasion after the Justice League was killed off actually a Kobayashi Maru simulator gone wrong due to Miss Martian's powers to the one where Miss Martian put Aqualad in a coma due to him killing Artemis only to realize he was actually a mole and Artemis is still alive working with him as a mole as well. Now that I think about it, a lot of the darker elements in Young Justice have Miss Martian involved with it. Case in point, her involvement in Garfield's live started the chain reaction to all the shitty things that happened to him. Let's hope he won't have to experience the Judas Contract storyline just like the other three (or four assuming the Nu 52/Rebirth version also dealt with said event) previous incarnations of him.

I can top that:

A vintage CN bumper from Japan. Notice how Grim's Japanese voice is uncannily similar to Greg Eagles.

All I can say for the show is that it looks better than TTG in quality and writing, because at least they actually give the characters good personalities and not be dicks. Still pretty cheap and annoying tho.

I know it's basically beating a dead horse at this point, but correct me if I'm wrong, but this is like the third time this year Teen Titans Go has gotten this type of marathon.
