This animated special was made in 1966, the year after A Charlie Brown Christmas, and is nearly as perfect and evocative a holiday special for Halloween as the first one was for Yuletide. Once again, Linus provides the story’s emotional core – but in this one, Snoopy comes to the fore as well. In a few years, this TV cartoon will be 50 years old, but for young and old, it still works its magic.
