I've been looking for a movie (or special) that used to air on the Disney Channel all the time in the channel's earlier days. It was a Halloween special that had a bunch of clips of various Disney Halloween cartoons. There was a scene from Fantasia where an evil mountain comes to life, a storm at a windmill, skeletons playing music on their bones, etc. Would anyone know where to find this? Does anyone else remember this?

Also, they used to have a cartoon that was always played at Halloween that I believe was called Ghost Busters. It involved Mickey, Goofy, and Donald as detectives that go to a haunted house to eliminate ghosts but end up being scared away. Does anyone recall this and/or know if this is on rarities dvd or something?

Any help with these questions would be much appreciated.

I believe most of those shorts appeared in the Walt Disney Treasure line, in the Mickey Mouse In Living Color vol. 1, and Silly Symphonies vol. 1

Re: the Halloween special: I know what you mean, I used to rent it on VHS almost every week when I was a kid. It's called Scary Tales.

toonzone used to have a great encyclopedia located at http://www.toonzone.net/disneyshorts/ but nothing is up now except a parental guide...


the fantasia sequence is "night on bald mountain" Bela Lugosi was the live action model for this

the bones sequence you remember is "The Skeleton Dance" from 1929. It was the very first silly symphony

the windmill sequence is called "The Old Mill" from 1937

i think canaryfarmer nailed the actual release...i know disney has put out afew halloween themed dvd's but I am not sure if any of them are a direct port of that video. I personally have stayed away from many of those comps and opted for the uncut (mostly) disney tins

Excellent. It's good to know I'm not crazy. None of my friends or family remember these cartoons. Thanks everyone.

I believe all of them were edited together at one point to the Monster Mash song. So they could show that more often throughout the day instead of the full shorts.

Sounds like "Lonesome Ghosts." Its on the Walt Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume One DVD.

Actually, I think the one you want is called "Disney's Halloween Treat", never released on DVD, but can be found on VHS with enough $ at Amazon or eBay.
