Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

TheLittleSongbird Halloween is Grinch Night is not going to appeal to everybody, people will find it hugely entertaining and others will find it bizarre. I do belong in the former category, but I can certainly understand the latter opinion as well. It is not as good as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but is still very impressive. The animation is very good, it is full of colour and the Paraphanelia Wagon sequence is memorably trippy. The music is wonderful, I love the jauntiness of the incidental scoring and the songs are very catchy. Max also sings and his song I found touching as a child and still do at 20. There are more faithful Dr Seuss adaptations out there, but the rhymes that form the dialogue are witty and elegant at the same time, while the story is briskly paced and bewitchingly oddball. The characters are ones you engage with, The Grinch himself will live long in the memory, and the voice acting is superb especially the soothing then terrifying narrator/Grinch of Hans Conreid, a worthy successor to Boris Karloff. So all in all, a great and underrated special. 9/10 Bethany Cox

anthony-rigoni As I did for the Cat in the Hat movie, I'll do this review in rhyming. Run for your lives, my friends, because the Grinch from the classic 1968 TV special is at it again! This time, he's going to give Whoville a lot of fright in Dr. Seuss' "Halloween is Grinch Night!" However, he's about to be foiled by a rather small who. A who by the name of Ukariah Who. Lost on the way to the outhouse(called the euphemism) as the sour-sweet wind blew, Ukariah is about to run into... you know who! Ukariah, determined to the stop the evil Grinch, must use his brains to outsmart him in a pinch. Will Ukariah Who save the day or will the Grinch blow Whoville away? Find out in this Halloween classic that is sure to delight, Dr. Seuss' "Halloween is Grinch Night!" Starring Hans Conried as the Grinch and the Narrator, Gary Shapiro as Ukariah, Henry Gibson as Max's singing voice, Hal Smith as Josiah, Jack DeLeon as Sergeant Samuel McPherson, and Irene Tedrow as Mariah. Featuring more than 5 spooky songs and lots of Seussian fun, "Halloween is Grinch Night" will always be #1!

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love to have a good scare from watching a really good horror movie, or just watch a classic animated special like this one. I remember this special WAY back when I was a kid in elementary school, when it was on TV of course. But they don't show it on TV anymore now, along with The Halloween Tree, which is another favorite of mine and a few other favorites too. But I was lucky to order myself a copy from Amazon.ca.It's also a great film about facing your fears, like Ukaraiah did to save Whoville by jumping in The Grinch's wagon of spooks, to stall for time. Now that scene REALLY scared the hell out of me as a kid. I would like point the interesting critters of Punker's Pond. The Gree Grumps like pink cats living in tree stumps (I am a cat lover), but I wonder what does the bottom half of an Hakken-Krakke look like? a seal's body? or the body of an Plesiosaurus? well I don't know, but it never hurts to use your imagination.

Bartgirl05 This was originally called "Halloween is Grinch Night", but was probably changed after it occurred to the producers that it had nothing to do with Halloween.Has great music, great plotline, and that Wuzzy Wuzu is cute! The animation's more Dr. Seuss-y than in other grinch 'toons, but it's not as good as How the Grinch Stole Christmas!There are continuity issues when you compare this one to the Christmas one, but you'll have to watch both of them to figure out what I mean.
