Halloween is Grinch Night!

After running so many horror movies on Dino Drac After Dark, I thought we were due for a change of pace. Let’s watch cartoons!

Tonight’s movie: Halloween is Grinch Night.

Okay, so it isn’t a movie.

The television special premiered in 1977 to rave reviews, but was scarcely seen even by the time I was a kid. In fact, it wasn’t until I was an old goon with an internet connection that I ever even heard of the thing, and the idea of the Grinch having his own Halloween special completely blew my mind.

I watched it years ago and admittedly wasn’t very into it, but with age comes wisdom, and I’ve realized that I was probably being unfair. It was silly to expect this to match wits with the Grinch’s Christmas special, which had DECADES to eke out a permanent home in my stupid soul.

So tonight I wanna give it another chance with a fresh perspective. Join me, will ya?
