At first I wanted to cry because the last time I saw the Grinch was with my Mommy in the hospital last year. She passed away this May, so I'm having a really hard time thinking of the first Holidays without her. Then when I realized it was a different show & Halloween, it warmed my heart a bit. Can't wait to see this for the very first time. Wish Mommy could watch it with me, but in my heart she is 💚💚💚
❤❤❤
Im sorry for your loss and glad you had a good relationship with her.
Blessed be.
Maybe she is. Get her favorite Holliday treats this year you also like. Think of her and you together. ❤❤
She is with you ❤
She will be with you whenever you wish her to be. Always there with her love. When your time comes you will be together again. Sending love and thoughts of you❤
I had NO IDEA this existed!
And for once, I'm NOT bothered by the commercials.
You really pulled this one out of a time capsule!
Thanks for posting this!😊
True historians never are :)
@@bradjames891 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Truth be told, I fast forwarded TO the commercials, to catch all the ol' nostalgia 📺👀
I also adore this and this is the first I've ever heard of it. (7nov 2022). I also dig the commercials...for once. I swear I was born too late
I had no idea this existed, either, but here I am, October 1, 2023, totally getting into the Halloween "spirit"! 😆👍
My granddaughter just showed me this & It brought back my years of being a kid again. It was shown the night before & the night of Halloween, I believe it came on at 8 pm but it only ran for a few years then they decided to take it off TV & don't know why it was rather a good show to watch. The kid's that came from the 70's had the Best of Everything.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, it was a pretty dark presentation. No doubt some stuffed-shirt parents' organization complained.
Wow. Everyone's seen the grinch on Christmas, but nobody's seen him on halloween. A hidden gem indeed.
I actualy saw this when I was 5 years old back in 1979 , haven't seen it since until now
@@bigwillietheb But it first came out in 1977.
Mom taped it off the Disney Channel in the 80s, but all my vhs tapes have significantly degraded. I'm so happy to find this and I was born in 1979, the year of this broadcast. It's fun to see the commercials as well.
@@wendyderamus9606 They've degraded eh? I should start checking MINE. I must have over 200 VHS tapes from the 80's and '90's. Most of them I taped myself off the TV.
This one slid into obscurity, but lots of people saw it back then, and it was rerun for several years. It also won the award for best children's program of 1977, edging out another classic, the Fat Albert Halloween Special.
If only they would bring back these fun shows on Halloween
I'm 51 and never seen this before, I love it. Classic TV at it's best.
I was 12 when this came out. I remember it but it was in the back behind all the stuff I forgot about...
Hey I'm 51 too. I've never seen or heard of this
I love how you left in the original commercial, such a perfect window on a time gone by
That is why I love watching these old programs, the commercials are a snapshot into the past....
So true. And my thanks too👍
I admit we enjoyed the commercials as much as the show. The good ole days were indeed good.
No its actually really misleading since you can no longer get the items. In fact maybe the channel should be sued for false advertising.
Yes. The commercials show more of the time than the show.
Thanks for uploading Halloween Is Grinch Night! I had this on VHS a long time ago and haven't seen this in nearly a decade.
I was a month old when this aired and I just found out it existed TODAY.. wow 😮 ty!
The first tradition as an adult was to revisit this gem every year. I loved it as a kid and still do as an adult💕
Wow. The husband and I are huge fans of the Grinch's Christmas special, yet somehow neither one of us had ever seen, much less heard of, this! Neat.
Me either!
Me either...hah...lol
Ni yo tampoco,y me gusta. me neither, I like it.
My 1st time time seeing this & I watched a lot of tv !
I'm just now learning about the Halloween variation of the Grinch cartoon myself in spite of growing up with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
The old commercials ... talk about a blast from the past! I Loved Clue 💫
I was 11 at the time...probably was watching this program, since we only had 3 networks at the time. LOL in a day, the WHOLE family would watch tv TOGETHER.
and MAN, I am Nostalgic for all those old commercials.
Hey, remember McDonald’s gift certificates, and the Halloween happy meal buckets?
@@wintersnow4413 YES SIR, or Miss LOL...the GOOD old day's
Even the commicals are good!😁
But people would go back to watching TV together if TV WAS MORE AFFORDABLE
I’m 59 years old and I’ve never seen this before thank you for putting it on I enjoyed it immensely appreciate your time and effort
Same here 😊
I'm 62 and never seen it.
@@The1NightBaker it’s because it’s not as popular unfortunately
wow to me this is pretty awesome I'm 66 years old and I have never seen this one before keep up the good work my daddy always said you never get too old to learn God Rest his soul thank you so much
@@eddiewrightjr5698 yeah it came out in 77 but it wasn’t too popular
Oh the memories from the 80's 🙃 Good times were had. After them good times spending all day outside running around playing hide & go seek riding bikes jumping over garbage cans on our huffys with no helmets & drinking out of the water hose we had specials like this on TV @ night to put us to bed. Those were the days.
I love this especially since it came from my childhood and it has vintage commercials! Thanks for the trip back to the 70’s!
Always felt sorry for Max the dog🥺🐾
I wonder why Max decided to go back to The Grinch in the Christmas special?
@@culpit I was wondering this as well. In fact it's kind of something I've thought about since I first saw this as a kid. Either this takes place before "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", in which case case Max somehow ended up back with the Grinch (by Max's own choice or not), or it takes place afterward, and the Grinch's heart shriveled back down to three sizes too small sometime after the events of that story. Kind of a downer either way.
@@culpit Maybe the Grinch kidnapped him 😨
Me 2
I wonder where Max is now.
lol I knew this cartoon existed. I'm surprised so many didn't. It was shown on CBS like other Holiday cartoons. Raggedy Ann and Andy also had a Halloween special as well as Peanuts, Bugs Bunny, The Berenstain Bears, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Fat Albert, Winnie the Pooh, and Garfield. I looked forward to the Holiday cartoons every year!
I just think people didnt tie it to Halloween
Poor Max! His song is so heartbreaking😢
Yeah it really is, and the fact that dogs can have depression is super upsetting lol I know it’s just a show but it hits the feels 😢
He wasn't too happy about going down the mountain just to scare anyone
1979. I was in the 9th grade. I love the old commercials. 😉✌️❤️🦋😎
I never knew this existed. It's a shame this never became a Halloween tradition on TV, the way the Christmas one did. Thanks for sharing,really enjoyed watching it. Even the old commercials were fun to see after so many years.
Probably because, over time, the networks started slowly phasing out Halloween cartoon specials while continuing with Christmas cartoon specials.
I haven't seen this since I was a young kid. I absolutely loved seeing this again, and the old commercials really brought me back in time when tv was great. Thanks for putting this out! Shared with several people
So many childhood memories. We had this on VHS. I still own that VHS. My little brother and I watched this over and over. I still quote it to this day.
It’s a wonderful night for eyebrows
Same! We watched this every year. My mother had taped it off TV for my brothers and I. This and The Halloween Tree she had on a VHS for us. I found the Halloween Tree on DVD a few years back and have been looking for this for ages.
I bought How The Grinch Stole Christmas on Apple TV and this was included with it. I never watched it until the other day. Totally trippy and my kids loved it.
Thank you so much for sharing this classic with all of us….I watched this as a child in the 80’s and it is so nostalgic every time I see it and this version takes me back to a time when life was so much happier and not so chaotic.
I can’t believe this one flew under my radar. It’s no Christmas Grinch but after the billionth time , this is a great fresh change of pace. Thanks for sharing!
my kids watched it when it first aired. I also bought the video somewhere.
Totally missed this one, too. 👀
My 3 yo loves this. Knows 90% of it by heart including the orchestration! Hilarious. I think the guy who played this grinch is fantastic.
Afraid I have to say it wasn't very good to be
blunt. The commercials are great!
My same thought.. Must've been after I discovered the opposite sex...
This movie was in 1977, born without the net, now it's getting nuts with high tech. Thank you for posting this for everyone. I have so many tapes from the first VHS my brother bought. He recorded endlessly. I keep finding some great ones, and I love watching the commercials.
Joanne - we can help with transferring them to digital. (the right way). Let’s make sure the recordings are saved. Email: tapes@fuzzy.tv
No wonder why I never seen this I was born in 1977...
Thanks so much for the upload ❤, nice to watch these old commercials they sure bring back alot of memories 😊😊, sure wish things were the same like they were back then those were the good years
I graduated in 77
Did anyone else get excited when he told max to get the paraphernalia wagon??
Def lol’d
ME
Just watched this for the first time and they did NOT need to go as hard on the score as they did. This earned the Emmy if you’re asking me.
Greetings from Memedroid! I'll leave a reply. Didn't know this existed.
@@coolmanchu29 Very cool! Glad to see you here.
That grinch is gonna get ya song slaps hard
That last song is a broadway rip-off I’m sure. What song is it
I replayed the sad dog song before I even saw this comment.
I watch this every October. This and Disney Halloween treat are my tradition
I loved when Max found ownership with the boy!!! What a fantastic ending. Thanks for this.
We prefer the term 'pet parent' rather than 'ownership.' Max is a living thing. He's not a car!
@@retroguy9494the term “found a family” in general, or “found companionship” could work.
I love Hans Conried as the voice of the Grinch. He was 60 when he did this, but his voice is unmistakable.
When I was a boy, I never cared for Dr. Seuss much as I was a Peanuts fanatic. But now that I'm getting to be an old man, I have a new appreciation for his work. I think my favorite is The Lorax.
I am 59 years old and have never seen this! When we were growing up we waited anxiously for these holiday cartoons 😮
I am 46 and through out my childhood I've watched every childhood cartoon and holiday specials. I swear I've never seen this or heard a thing about this. I do love the old commercials that are in this recording. Kinda takes me back even if I never seen the Halloween Special I've seen those commercials or what we call ads. OH YEAH WHAT ABOUT THAT DAMN MERLIN TELL ME THAT AINT A 80's TOY version OF A MOBILE PHONE WE USE TODAY FAR AS THE MULTPLE GAMES AND THE 90S FLIP PHONE STYLE. OH AND THAT MCDONALD'S COMMERCIAL AS WELL. WITH A BLACK A KID IN IT. MCDONALD'S THE MELTING POT FOR PEOPLE AND FOOD! ❤❤❤😂
9:33-10:33 The song that the Grinch’s dog Max is singing in his head as he’s pulling the wagon down the mountain is very sad 😢 if you think about it part of it is him wishing he could go back to being a puppy and the other is how his family member that he really loved wouldn’t care for him if they could see what he’d become it’s truly heartbreaking 💔 just thinking about it makes me want to cry 😭
It reminds me of Memory from Cats.
Right??? I'm watching this for the first time ever and I don't think I'll be watching it again after this.
Max didn't seem so absolutely miserable in the Christmas special, this is just gut wrenching 😢 💔
I wonder if after Max went to live with Euchariah, The Grinch got himself another dog named Max for the Christmas special?
I like how the commercials are still hear, really is a time capsule!
I have vague memories of this. Thanks for posting. I'm feeling so nostalgic I want to cry. This brings back fond early memories.
Oh wow, how did I missed this one from all these years? Thank you for featuring this one.
How did I miss this when I was a kid. I didn't know that they made this special.
They were fortunate to get Hans Conried to participate in this. The actor had a long history of voice-over work and spent years as a character actor on radio, TV and in films. Lucky to have this memory of him. Of course I have found out a number of things about Hans Conried from listening to Sirius-XM's Radio Classics and I've retained some of what I've heard over these past eighteen years.
The Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit was my introduction to his work.
@@Regal99 Now that's one I have yet to see. I'll look for it here. It was a cartoon, Hoppity Hooper, back in the '60s when I first remember hearing his distinctive voice.
Conried was great, but nobody could replace Karloff.
Hans Conried? I think i can picture him as the guest actor on the Monkees who hated the Monkees. I believe he said "Fuck, i hate these kids". Astonishing for a show to add an outtake or a blooper where the guest star swears and confesses to hating the lead actors of the show he's on.
Hans Conried is in The Phantom Tollbooth too. Such a great movie if you haven't seen it. Still a favorite from my childhood, just like this.
Two thumbs up! Never knew it existed and the old commercials add just the right touch. Thanks! 😊👍❤👍
Referring to the outhouse as "the euphemism" also happens in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf".
"Spook's Tour" refers to Cook's Tours, a travel company that began in the Victorian era, and went belly-up a few years ago.
I remember watching this with my son in the early 2010s! He was a huge Dr Seuss fan, and we had a load of the DVDs. This was on one of them. We watched them all on repeat. Good stuff! I love the commercials on this version. So nostalgic. :)
Toys and games come and go, but Halloween is Grinch Night is forever.
I first saw the special when I was a kid, and I had it on videotape. I hope that I can get it on DVD!!
Thanks for allowing me to transcend the years for a little while.
Never saw this Grinch Halloween cartoon before. Thanks so much for sharing. It is so awesome!
I watched this every Halloween when I was ages 0-3. Then it disappeared. I never forgot it though. I am so glad to have finally found it 14 years later.
At this moment in time I am within a couple of months of turning 20 (no more teenager!), the very first Star Trek movie is less than a year away from hitting theaters and a friend bought the first home VCR I ever saw (RCA VHS). A week after this show aired I suffered the worst broken heart of my life. Small wonder I have no memory of this Halloween special.
Thank you so much for this. They really never aired this much on television. Too bad it's really good.
I remember this on I think it was tbs around. Halloween time
we watched it every year. Even bought the tape or dvd
@@shirleynitka5030 yeah we did too. we didn't know that it was out on DVD lol.
I also once saw The Cat in the Hat Teaches the Grinch a Lesson. It was good, too.
@@debbiebrown4420 never seen that lol is it like Halloween is grinch night?
OMG I've never heard of this, but I just saw Joe Raposo's name in the opening credits so I already know I'll love the music!
Followed up with DePatie and Freleng... I'm stoked :) Thank you for this.
To this day, I still wonder what would happen if Grinch and his paraphernalia wagon managed to make his way to Whoville without any interruptions.
That giant wheel monster chasing everyone in town.
Everybody gets high it ain't called the paraphernalia wagon for nothing
Never seen this before. Great choice to keep the orginal commercials in. I grew up with Happy Days reruns but had never saw a commercial for a "new" episiode before.
Wow!😮 I remember this classic gem from my childhood! I still love this.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for making my day complete☺️
Honestly never knew Grinchy Poo had a Halloween special?!?! It's pretty good, but still love the Grinch Who Stole Christmas!!! Thank you for uploading this!
I used to have this on Sing-Along VHS back in the 90s, and I still love watching this special! 🎃👻💚
The sing-along VHS was released by CBS Video, distributed by Fox Video (later 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment) in the mid-90s.
I watched the whole thing straight through...even the commercials...VERY nostalgic...such a simpler time its crazy this could easily entertain kids (and interested adults) back then but would never fly today.
My interest has been flowing on this for a while… This is WELL worth the watch!
Wow! Great to see an early broadcast with ads.
I remember seeing this on the Disney Channel way back when. Nice to see a recording of one of the ABC rebroadcasts.
It originally aired on ABC, and later on the Disney Channel.
Wow. I'm surprised this never gets aired at Halloween. I've never seen this on DVD either. Too bad.
WB's "Ultimate Edition" DVD of Chuck Jones' _How The Grinch Stole Christmas!_ has it.
@@NJ_Dsneybuf thanks for the info!
It's a bonus on the Green Eggs and Ham DVD
@@MusicMan32K WB removed it from the _Green Eggs and Ham_ DVD when they started selling it.
Years ago, I had a VHS tape with this and a bunch of other kid-friendly Halloween material, like safety PSA's involving a talking pumpkin. I don't remember ever getting to the end of it, possibly because I was either too scared or too bored.
Please, Hollywood! Make a feature length version of this TV special!!
This was as long as it needed to be; it’s not a superb piece of media and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to option it.
@@crow-jane they could add a lot of new ideas to it and make it a lot of fun! The Grinch has quite the cult following, and Halloween is very popular these days.
I'm watching this exactly 45 years to the day that it originally aired on T.V. 🎃💕
I remember this as a child in the late seventies
Somehow, I remember this after all these years. I'm 35, and I think I last saw this when I was like... 5?
The internet can be a beautiful thing...
I'm almost 46 and thought I watched it all growing up but never seen this or knew it existed. Weird
You know, I have to watching it. I do kind of remember nmtv. Maybe once or twice where I live. They need to put this on every halloween or needed to this was refreshing
Though not as famous as the Christmas one (which was produced by Chuck Jones) this one did well enough to win an Emmy. Hans Conried replaced the late Boris Karloff. Thurl Ravenscroft, best known as the voice of Tony the Tiger, sang in both cartoons.
I have been searching for this for YEARS. On DVD, streaming, heck I’d have accepted a VHS. I’ve been trying to show it to my husband bc I have such fond memories of Ukariah and Jedidiah and Mariah and the sour sweet wind oh man I’m so excited. Thank you so much for sharing this! 🖤🧡
Ah....., the classics. Those were the days. When movies and t.v. were movies and t.v.
Bwahahah! Exactly!
Plus we all were tuned into the same show's, it wasn't so divided!
So glad too see this, never seen it before and I’m 40!
Wow 😳 the kids watching this when they get older will be surprised they televised this to everyone w the language ...really good to watch wish they had more of the Halloween by Dr Seuss never knew he made this even
6:06 it's a wonderful night for eyebrows
6:09 it's a wonderful night for teeth
6:13 it's a wonderful night for Grinch night
6:17 their troubles will now commence

David H. DePatie, one of the producers. He passed away on September 23, 2021, at the age of 91. He also worked in the animation divisions of MGM. He started DFE films (Pink Panther, The Inspector, Mr. Jaws, The Aardvark, and the Ant, and Ratfink.) and Looney tunes/Merrie Melodies. He SOLD DFE Films in 1981 to Marvel Productions (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends).
David DePatie was the last surviving founder of the studio has died last month. Fritz Freling, his co-founder and former WB animator also died back in 1995. Now both them are all gone.
I didn't know David died. Thanks for filling us in.
Thanks for the update
Wow I didn’t know he was still alive this long. He helped make the worst Looney Tunes shorts
@@Poever To be fair, they had very very tight budgets so while yes they were arguably terrible shorts there was nothing they could have done at the time.
Love seeing the old commercials. Never seen this one!
Thank you for including the commercials it’s 100% enhanced my viewing experience.
Live or Pixar would ruin it
Fun fact: the Hakken Kraks that appear at 5:16 would later appear on Dr. Seuss's final best selling book Oh, the Places You'll Go! When I read the book and saw this when I was a child, I always knew they were the same ones.
I remember watching this one all the time as a little kid. The music and visual always creeped me out, and I thought it was so unnerving. But they were also so incredibly captivating in an unsettling way. It was like a car crash, I just couldn't looks way from it.
So... How old are you now?
This was a treat not a trick🎃. I really enjoyed this. Max has a home that someone lo💙es him.🥰
OMG, it is nice to know that The Grinch got started a lot earlier than Christmas with his shenanigans! I am so glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem! I never knew about this before. Another Christmas gift delivered early. ❤🎉😊🎃
My mom had a vhs with this, the pumpkin who couldn't smile, ichabod crane etc... she passed away 2 years ago from cancer, Halloween has always been her favorite and we'd watch these when craving pumpkins. I miss her soo much
Literally felt like I was sitting in front of my television as a kid all over again. Commercials and all. Made me emo. This was awesome.
Man.......this show AND the commercials take me back to 6th grade and good times as a kid. Thank you for posting this!
I watched this as a kid and my family doesn't remember it AT ALL. I was starting to believe I was going crazy, but no, Grinch at Halloween is a legit thing!! Very interesting plot, but its still cool to see!
I only remember this coming on once! What a CLASSIC! Ty for sharing the love!!!
I'm 29 years old, born, raised and proudly from Northeast Ohio. I found this special on accident from Blameitonjorge. I have introduced it to my parents (both 70s kids) and they love it! I prefer this version of the film because it's classic 70s nostalgia. I can watch it with my parents, my siblings and, soon, with my nephew.
Also, if anybody can link me to a copy of Disney's Halloween Treat here on RUclips, I'd be grateful. It's so hard to find that particular film on digital, and those few VHS copies that I've seen are way past their prime. Salute to everyone who preserves these bits of lost media.
had this taped off tv when i was a kid. great childhood memories
From The Director of "Mad Monster Party?" / "The Cat In The Hat: Know Lot About Halloween!" And "Scooby Doo, Where Are You! The Completo Series"
This needs to be shown on TV again just like the Xmas one. I always loved watching this when i was little.
Thanks for this and the commercials too-a trip down memory lane!
I love the whole thing!! Commercials and all!!
Seen the Christmas 🎄 version dozens of times ; never heard of this one 😳 though ! Thanks RUclips 😊
Am I the only one that grew up with this 😂❤
how I love these older cartoons!! Even at my age. thanks you for uploading this!!😂
0:20 I remember those dancing skeletons! 1979 was the first year that I didn't go trick or treating, as I had just started 7th grade, and 6th grade was the traditional cutoff in my town. My sister said that a few neighbors did ask about me, and gave a few extra treats to her for me, which was kind of them. They hadn't realized that I was "so old." 😂 (12½ is _ancient,_ don't'cha know)
5:17 Oh no! DO NOT disturb the Hakencracks! Especially if I've spelled their name incorrectly! 😂
21:34 - 24:43 is a first rate fever dream!
Cool show to share! 👍🏻
I love this one. The Paraphernalia Wagon scene is just spooky enough to stay with you for a while. Also, that poor flower...
Also, we loved our Merlin. The smaller one they came out with a few years back just wasn't the same.
Although this is called Halloween, this special never really talks about Halloween. Also, although it has color schemes that are of the season that is about all you will get. Oh! And you also get the trippy effects from the paraphernalia wagon. Never made it big as the Christmas special, but I still like this one here. Thanks for sharing this with commercials and all. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃
Wow, i had never seen this before. I'm surprised and honestly thinking this definitely deserves a live action
just watched this & now I do remember watching this I was 5 years old & I have not seen this since 1979 & all those great old school commercials
Willie did you ever know anybody that looked like The Grinch?
@@dtaylor939 no can't say that I have
I LOVED the comercials as much as the program! Thank you for uploading this trip back in time.
Was browsing for Halloween backgrounds and found this, what a treat! Love the commercials and the Field Museum shoutout in the beginning! Cheers from South Haven on Lake Michigan!
