Favorite Old-Time Spooky Cartoons, Pt. 3


Happy Halloween! This is the final installment of the series. I have distinct memories of watching this film in our library during elemtary school. For a young child, the site of the Headless Horseman chasing Ichabod can be quite intimidating! Bing Crosby does a great job of narrating this video. One of my favorite scenes is the clouds shaped like hands closing over the moon at the end of the video…

Thanks to the magic of YouTube, I’ll be posting three favorite spooky/Halloween cartoons starting today and going through Wednesday (Oct. 31). Today’s feature is an old Tom and Jerry cartoon entitled “Fraidy Cat” from 1942. Although I grew up in the 70s and 80s, all of these cartoons were prominently featured during afterschool hours. I even watched some during “movie time” in my elementary school library, so they all bring back fond memories. Regardless, enjoy!
