The greatest movie ever made..!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Originally written 6/3/07-Halloween is a weird Toby the Pup cartoon from the Charles Mintz studio. Unfortunately, what I saw on YouTube was a technical mess. First off, the soundtrack somehow went ahead of some of the frames. Then for the last 3 or so minutes, there is no sound. So it's hard for me to be real objective in this review of the cartoon. There are certainly many wonderfully weird scenes that would be typical of such cartoons from the '30s such the cow peeling a candle like a banana, or his eating an apple with a worm in it while the worm's taking a bath and pulls down an asbestos curtain! Or three bird skeletons drinking with the largest one taking a first try at the punch as the liquid falls outside his neck letting the second middle sized one drink from that with the same thing happening to him as the smallest one drinks from that...There's also some piano playing by Toby and a little girl scolding singing, "Smarty, Smarty, Smarty". Largely based on what I've seen from the imperfect YouTube linkage, I give this one a 2. Maybe I'll up it if I ever see a better transfer. Update 10/30/08-I've just seen the complete version (Thanks, Thadblog!), it's even more weirder with the "smarty" girl getting spanked by a man dressed in a toga, and Toby scaring all the ghosts by simply saying "cock-a-doodle-doo" like a rooster! Then there's a little ghost calling him "Daddy"! Okay, since I've now seen the whole thing clearly, I'm now giving this a 5.
