me olde holiday viewing lists

Made around 2012/13...lists of our holiday marathoning material. Easter here. (& in here + here. Peeps book collection was part of the Peep display many years, so evolved into all Easter books grouped up since that was so manageable & logical. The other occasions obviously have great books too, just no uniting Peep theme/altar/throne.

HALLOWEEN:

>"13 Nights of Halloween" {should include lots of this}
>>CLASSIC HORROR {Svengoolie, TCM/FMC/AMC, etc.--scariness en generale}

Garfield's Halloween
Halloween is Grinch Night
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (<3 all peanuts)
Mad Monster Party
Spookable Pooh
Spongebob Scaredy-Pants
Scooby-Doo (Zombie Island)
Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman/Frankenstein
>Simpsons' Treehouses of Horror
>Holiday or appropriately spoopy episodes of good toons/shows (e.g., Hey Arnold!, FOP, Clifford, Arthur, Trek, etc., etc., etc. Holiday eps be dime-a-dozen but some be specialer than others)
>Spookley the Square Pumpkin; Haunted Pumpkin of Sleepy Hollow (kiddie cartoons, Spooky Buddies, yadda-yadda); half-decent dcoms

*Other holidays are more minimal (Garfield's Thanksgiving+Peanuts+Big Paw**+Mouse on the Mayflower, Berenstains' Comic Valentine, few others)......what else? Any and all good holiday episodes & cartoons/shorts, any stuff that kinda fits but isn't a holiday movie/special...all those good ones found for each day via the HSP or ME-TV, or elsewhere...  "Etc." is obviously always highly applicable. 

**Pound Puppies have their version as well and come to think of it that should be in the "dog movies" comment list, but alas comments ain't editable, and it's not really worth deleting and redoing...

  3. #25DaysOfChristmas, like almost everything, used to be so much better. At least one day of almost every Rankin/Bass special. (Thank goodness I recorded those onto VHS.) Stuff like Cranberry Christmas, the Eloise Plaza/Christmastime movies that impossibly aren't on IMDb...PE frequently ofc (grew on me a bit over the years)...
