The “Peanuts” classic, brought to life by animator Bill Melendez, was first released in 1966. “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” is a delightful children’s tale that has stood the test of time.
Not all Halloween movies have to be scary. The segment above ( a “Couch Gag” by famous horror director Guillermo del Toro) happens to be the most-watched “Treehouse of Horror” clip on YouTube, with more than 34 million views. Some have debated which episode tops them all, but with more than two decades of specials to choose from, we’ll let you decide for yourself. The Halloween special changes from year to year, as the beloved characters embark on some delightfully horrifying adventures. The Simpsons is the longest-running animated sitcom of all time, and their “Treehouse of Horror” special is a seasonal staple. It’s a film that can be enjoyed throughout the entire holiday season, but between us, the “Boogie Man” scene is straight up creepy. The Academy Award-nominated musical film centers on Jack Skellington (Danny Elfman) the “Pumpkin King” of Halloween Town, as he discovers the meaning of Christmas - with dire consequences. And the 1993 classic “Nightmare Before Christmas” may be the crown jewel of Burton’s creepy classics. Tim Burton is known for his unique style of spooky stop-motion animation. Beware: some of them are so good, it’s spooky. Hopefully, the classic styles, narratives, and timeless charm will inspire you the next time your creative team is cooking up a seasonal hit. These are the go-to animated classics, from some of the top studios and animators throughout history.
So to celebrate Halloween, and the spooky power of seasonal animation, we’re sharing some of our favorite Halloween flicks. Seasonal animated videos are some of the most effective marketing tools, and provide some of the highest ROI thanks to repeated use year after year (just look at those Coca-Cola polar bears).
