      Legendary Halloween themed cult classic

      Best move to watch at Halloween with all your like minded friends.

      Oddly Obscure and Weirdly Different

      This was one of those films that I just happened upon while doing some shopping at the flea market one time, and the artwork looked just strange enough that I had to pick it up. At the time, my son was about three years old and he was absolutely enthralled with the movie. I was rather surprised upon watching it with him that it was actually a good little movie. Even as weird as the animation was, and it's nothing like the quality of a Disney or Pixar film, it still looks like the work of a high school art student.

      The music and story itself are pretty campy and corny, which I guess kids will love, but parents might find somewhat an annoyance, especially if kids want to watch the movie on repeat, which sometimes they like to do. I watched it just once and that was enough to stay in my memory for the past twelve plus years. Apparently, they ended up making a sequel, but I have yet to see that one.
