The more I watched this episode, the more it reminded me of exactly how I felt about Halloween as a kid. It kind of took me off guard, to be honest.

I love the gag about the monsters needing to wear costumes because the younger generation aren’t scared of them anymore.
Kids today don't know what horror REALLY is
@@sadlobster1 i mean horror evolves. What we think is scary differs from people to people, and generations as well. It is likely that what a generation before you found scary, you no longer found it scary growing up, or even now. Some fears change. Some don't.
yea i especially loved the joke about how the scariest things today are all children's toys lol (clowns, balloons, dolls etc.)
@@thxu4_the_venom657 It's kind of sad, really; I mean...what's so scary about clowns or dolls
@@sadlobster1
I feel it’s less of the kiddy things by itself, and more that you think there is going to be a terrifying twist or something malicious attached to. It’s really the association.
I love that Launchpad's "costume" mashes up three of the most well-known movie serial killers: Jason Voorhees with the mask, Michael Myers with the jumpsuit and Leatherface with the saws, albeit circular saws instead of a chainsaw but close enough for me
I think Launchpad might've been traumatized about nearly losing his idol due to a chainsaw last season, so mayhaps he modified this a bit.
Awww now I feel bad for a PTSD-LP. :(
Huey: "I don't want to be our last Halloween."
Mabel: "I don't want to be our last Halloween."
Launchpad’s mask: no Mighty Ducks references?
Oh definitely, that's Wild Wing's mask, no question - just as, I believe, Bouncer Beagle wore back in Season 1 during a bank heist.
That's the first thing I thought of!!
@@thechampion2430 so does that mean that Anaheim is also in Calisota? ;)
So. Many. Easter eggs and references to Horror movies. This episode is immensely rewatchable just for that alone.
I loved that Launchpad's Jason Vorhees reference!
@@karlhnedkovsky5214 + the mighty ducks mascot
There’s also a reference to Spooky Scary Skeleton
The scene where Launchpad pulls a bag over Scrooge and smashes him on the ground is a reference to the sleeping bag kill scene from Friday the 13th: Part VII - The New Blood. This episode went absolutely bonkers with all the references.
Also, "Put out the Darkwing."
Oh, that's incredible. I didn't catch that one!
He also did a double sleeping bag kill in Jason X.
Wow , I can’t believe I missed that
I was honestly just worried thinking “ Launchpad stop , your gonna kill your boss .”
"Pirate on vacation?"
"Arrrrrr."
"Niiiice."
The witch is actually the Duck version of Witch Hazel from the classic Donald Duck Trick or Treat short.
so thats why its called hazel house
I don't know why, but Della being the evil twin is just really funny to me.
Gives her another link to Louie.
I loved the bit about modern kids only being scared of childish things like puppets and clowns. "What's wrong with you?"
I walked away from this episode wondering one thing "How has Launchpad not killed someone?"
Who says he doesn’t? :)
I need more brotherhood moments between Donald and Della
One thing I really admire about Launchpad's subplot was that he and Donald actually interacted a lot. Up until then, the only times that happened were for a minor gag or two, which felt like wasted potential on having them pal around in this show. Seriously, I'd love it if they were shown hanging out more often, and adding Della into the mix is a great bonus.
Anyways, this episode did an excellent job with the horror elements, especially with the monsters both before and after they revealed their true identities. Having Launchpad burst in to save the kids was just epic. I also loved Scrooge's skeleton costume, which had a strange yet charming look to it.
As for my trick-or-treating days, I did that up until my high school junior year. Although my family and I were doing this with my younger brother and his friend for those last couple of years, and during my senior year I went to a football game and Halloween dance at my school (where I dressed as another cartoon billionaire: Mr. Burns). But on the bright side, I still love wearing costumes each year and watching various Halloween specials.
I think my favorite moment was "The Shining" reference from Witch Hazel looking at Donald and Della "Ah! Spooky twins!!!" :O
One thing I liked is the fact that among the monsters the Vampire is an actual bat. One of the advantages of having your show set in Duckburg, which is all Petting Zoo People.
Oh yeah, also a duck werewolf. Very cool.
I assumed the vampire was just a nosferatu, right down to the teeth
Launchpads whole story about his halloween is an evil dead reference, he read an "evil book" and suddenly was surrounded by "demons and monsters". Not sure if everyone picked up on that but i appreciated it
5:50 It's funny how so many people use that "Take one" empty bowl scam.
when scrooge started doing the spooky scary skeletons dance i legit started screaming it was so perfect, i don't know why but that is one of my favorite halloween specials (along with charlie browns the great pumpkin) and i will die for any reference to it whatsoever
I grew up rural. Trick-or-Treating is less of an adventure when your dad is driving you to all of three other houses over the course of an hour. No, Halloween for me, as a kid born on October 30th around 7pm, effectively turned into a two-day Birthday Party with a very Goth aesthetic. My "normal" laugh sounding more at home in a Mad Scientist movie? That's why.
I appreciated the tombstones having joke names, noticed at least one as a straight up lift from the haunted mansion
Watching this episode reminded me of the classic Ducktales episode "The Ducky Horror Picture Show" where Scrooge and his family met actual monsters.
I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed that the big reveal of Launchpad was that he misunderstood Halloween, instead of having one of his strange little side adventures that we never actually get to see in the show. You know, like when he went off on his own while everyone went to the casino to save Gladstone. And you'd think Darkwing Duck would have had a Halloween special or at the very least costumes. You just know Launchpad would have bought one as a collectible. It was amazing to see that this version of Donald is that caring and gentile outside of his anger issues that he refuses to let Della pull the kind of pranks he would have in other cartoons. Della has taken on his mischief making tendencies, though not nearly as malicious as Donald would, while Donald seems to have grown out of that sort of thing. As if being the nephews' guardian his entire life, rather than being stuck with them as bratty little kids like the old cartoons, mellowed him out and made him more nurturing. Like that one episode last season said, he channeled all the anger and pain he felt into protecting his family. Love seeing it on display, even subtly.
I'm curious if Launchpad didnt know about Halloween not because he was oblivious but instead because his family didnt celebrate it so he normally just stayed in that night. The Christmas episode seemed to suggest that Launchpad was Jewish and Halloween is one of the most controversial holidays in Judeo-Christian culture.
That was my thought. I'm wondering if his cap is not a kind of customize (family friendly) kippa
What's so controversial about dressing up, partying and getting candy?
@@sadlobster1 the bit about appeasing demon spirits? That and Halloween is a Catholic holiday made to prevent a pagan uprising so they just mashed a bunch of Celtic traditions together and placed it before Hallow's Day thus naming it Hallow's Eve which eventually became Halloween.
@@shanryder Oh, yeah...I remember that but nobody thinks about that anymore.
Why feel so scared about the holiday NOW
@@SolenMR that's entirely possible. I have noticed that this Launchpad doesnt take his hat off like the previous versions of the character does but it never occurred to me that there could be a religeous reason for that
I love that Scrooge calls it gyzing, which is the more British tradition and version of trick or treating
So far in this block of DuckTales, the episodes are getting better and better. The Halloween episode is my 2nd favorite episode in the Autumn block so far, the Fountain of Youth episode is my current favorite and after that is the DuckTales/Darkwing Duck crossover.
the darkwing episode hasnt even come out yet
@@goodtoy3401 But, it has a lot to live up to.
How did you like the Darkwing episode?
@@ultraprincesskenny6790 I think it's in the running for my favorite episode of the DuckTales reboot and I've never even seen Darkwing Duck before. I love crossovers, I enjoyed the nods to Into the Spiderverse and I'm so happy that F.O.W.L. has been exposed and love that it was Huey, Dewey and Louie that were the ones who figured it out.
I'm surprised you didn't touch on the haunted house likely being named after Witch Hazel from the old Donald Duck Halloween cartoon "Trick or Treat" from 1952.
One more episode and then he’ll be ready for Let’s Get Dangerous.
Claude Kiringa yeah I can't wait
yep, I`m sure he is overworking so we can review that episode in the same week
Definitely, though a number of the episodes have been great since the show came back (again) about a month ago.
LET’S GET DANGEROUS!!!!
very rare that he catch up to the actual airing dates!
This was a really fun Halloween special, and one that works super well because of the character interactions. Donald and Della haven't gotten much time to interact, let alone play off any sibling rivalry in the show, and similarly, Donald and Launchpad haven't gotten to interact much, either. So between some really fun interactions in the much lighter B story to the Kids' A Story which has some creepy elements without getting to an actually scary (for me) level, it's a really solid Halloween episode. And in that A plot, Huey and Louie's conflict is another great moment for Huey this season as well as a great chance for Louie's character growth from the second season to play in. It's overall a really fun episode that manages to be fun scary rather than "I am a grown man terrified of walking around late at night without flipping every light on the second I enter a room" scary.
...Have I mentioned I am a very easy scare? Because I'm very easily scared...
I love the Shining references when Launchpad (who was giving us some Michael Myers realness) was chasing the monsters, like the "creepy twins" and Scrooge's visual "It's Johnny!" frame!
I think this is the first time I heard the name “Seaniccus” out loud 😅
I used to say it more in old videos but I always feel weird saying it
@@seaniccus I would've never guessed that your name is pronounced like that. Is it Scottish or Welsh?
@@alexandersolodovnikov4840 It's actually the original spelling of the name, which I guess is Irish. Shaun, Shawn, Shon and variations on Shane all stem from the original "Sean." The Shaun / Shawn spelling are adjustments to make the name follow typical English grammar rules, I think?
I suppose the "Spartacus" mash up of my user name (with an extra C!) of "Seaniccus" doesn't help, haha -- but I just didn't like how "Seanicus" looked.
So if Launchpad didn't know much about Halloween does that mean the Darkwing Duck show in their universe never had a Halloween Special
Probably not.
Selma Blair (Hellboy) and the legendary Doug Jones are in this episode.
Also James Marsters (Spike from Buffy).
And I wouldn't be surprised if Clancy Brown was in there to stand in for a busy Ron Perlman (tho that, of course, is just speculation on my part)
@@AragonTigerseye I mean Clancy Brown was his dad in Trollhunters.
If only they got Ron Perlman in this episode. Then it be a real Hellboy reunion.
@@AragonTigerseye They had Clancy Brown, and yet little to no (if any) interaction with Scrooge! I mean, I don't know how Frankenstein could work in a Mr. Krabs joke, but two of cartoondom's great cheapskates...oh the miss!
The more I see of the modern version of Donald Duck, the more I want to see an episode dedicated to him and Della. This was a great episode and always remember, you are never too old to go trick or treating!
I hope they get a spinoff show in the future
AM I the only one that noticed that Hazel house looks like Moragan Macawbers house In Darkwing duck?
I noticed that too! I think this is her Aunt's house
Personally, I thought it was based on the Phantom Manor from Disneyland Paris, but I can also see a bit of Morgana's house in its design. Good thing the kids didn't have to worry about the door biting their hands.
I think Hazel House is supposed to be based on the Amityville house
When Huey said he was worried about this being the "last Halloween" with his brothers, I scratched my head a little.
What rule exists where you have to be a "certain age" to do Halloween or go trick r treating? Look at Launchpad; once he got to understand what the holiday was really about, even HE got into the trick r treating mood...despite being a man in his mid-30's or so. I do believe Count Jackula put it best in his review of Witch's Night Out, long ago.
"The moment you think you're too old for Halloween is the moment you think you're too old to be awesome."
So, I think the boys still have many chances ahead to do trick r treating on Halloween; in the future. Provided, of course...that they don't fall for another one of Louie's dumb plans.
(Side Note: Unlike most people, I think classic monsters are so much more iconic than the modern ones. I mean, really...what's Jigsaw got that classic vampires don't or what makes a dumb clown scarier than werewolves?)
Ithink by last Halloween he meant a Halloween where they could just trick or treat not go on some wild adventure like they used to.
Wasn't he talking about how, if they got their life time supply of candy, they wouldn't need to trick or treat anymore?
@@RasmusVJS For most, Halloween isn't even about the candy
@@zacharybreen8891 That doesn't quite make sense; on Halloween, people LIVE for adventure
There's no official rule, but the last few years we went trick or treating, people would just close their doors on us. We were like only in middle school, but some people would lecture us to grow up.
I like the 3 or 4 shining references in the climax/end of the episode with launchpad chasing after the group of monsters like a psycho in the big house, the twins gag with Della and Donald when they see the monsters, Scrooge breaking through the door with his bone cane like the iconic here’s Johnny scene and finally the picture of all the characters in it at the end, I love how they’re all saved for the end so they don’t over stay their welcome.
4:38 We were almost incinerated in Outer Space!
Louie's costume is perfect for him. Mainly because its so frustratingly lazy that he didn't even change his shirt.
This episode was great and Khion blew louies animation budget and I love it.
I'm definitely my neighborhood's Della around Halloween.
The only thing as good or even better than those great episodes is these fantastic reviews.
In this episode we learn that launchpad goes to a ballet class. I wonder what happens at those classes.
Launchpads hockey mask was a twofold reference to jason voorhees and the mighty ducks logo
As a Huey fangirl this episode really hit me 😭💜
Huey realizes that living at Scrooge manor elevated standards of adventure, of imagination, changed everything and now, Halloween seems too little to enjoy... Pffff.
Can be understood as the growing up process, but, as the McDuck heirs... Halloween is not a big deal.
Terrible Balor costume. She reminded of neither a celtic giant, nor a copyright friendly Balrog.
A good Cacodemon though.
it looked like something more Lovecraftian than Celtic.
I guess with Launchpad not knowing what Hallowe'en was, we can safely assume that Darkwing Duck never had a Halloween episode....
....also likely meaning Morgana might exist in the real world. This is a good thing!
When you have missed that is right under your nose one of the monsters is actually witch hazel from an old Donald Duck the Cartoon call trick-or-treat
It is my all-time favorite cartoons and just to warn you she doesn’t like her self they can update her a little bit to look more like a duck but still it’s still her
My favorite thing about this episode is who they got to do cameos: Doug Jones, Selma Blair, Clancy Brown, and Jason Marsters. Aka, abe sapien, liz sherman, mr. krabs, and spike.
FINALLY theres something Della and I have in common....🎃
There is no other holiday other then Halloween. In fact, our whole family would not just set up displays but have an entire walkthrough yard haunts and I myself have worked professional haunts.
Halloween isnt just a hobby, its my life.
dude i go insane on halloween, we have a pretty small neighborhood (30-ish houses) and it's 2 circles (kinda like a donut) and all of our neighbors know each other so it's perfect for trick or treating, you don't have to worry about giant crowds and people you don't know and not getting as much candy as the kid before you and no one in our neighborhood really cares how old you are because over half the kids in our neighborhood are 10+ years and generally well behaved, honestly it's so much fun
I think Scrooge knocking down the haunted house door was a shining reference. Also where the toy dewey watching the tv was a ring reference.
Speaking of The Shining, the end of the episode with the black and white picture with everyone in it was a reference to the ending of The Shining with Jack Nicolson's character being trapped in an old black and white photo.
That watching the tv scene could also be a reference to Poltergeist.
The stunt-casting for the monsters may count as an Easter Egg! Selma Blair and Doug jones (The Witch and Werewolf, respectively) are Liz Sherman & Abe Sapien from the Hellboy movies, which leads me to believe that Disney may've wanted to/tried to get Ron Perlman to be Frankenstein, initially but may not have been able to. This is, of course, speculation on my part. Frankenstein's Monster was voiced by Clancy Brown, who previously played the monster, live action, in 1985's The Bride. The vampire was voiced by James "Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer" Marsters!
The shining, it, the ring, and probably saw
Yeah, I got some Pennywise vibes from the monster clown, too.
I just loved Launchpad's line "I was having problems with my trikey." Something about his voice or the way he ways it just makes it way funnier than it has any right to be.
I really enjoyed the Ducktales Halloween Special!!! They made reference to original Ducktales Halloween episode "Ducky Horror Picture Show" which is also another favorite of mine!!
The ending shot of the picture is a reference to The Shining
It's good to see you being finally caught up with the DuckTales episodes
He's close, and at the rate he's been going this week he'll probably catch up before the Darkwing episode on Monday, but there's actually one more episode to go before he's officially "caught up".
@@Pooglian Yup, a new take on an old legend that will make you feel young again.
AAAHHHHH CREEPY TWINS! I loved that line
I know that the Wereduck is from the original Ducktales when Monsters stayed at Scrooge’s Mansion. Xp
Fun fact: Message On this episode It's the same Message In Gravity falls
The first easter egg I spotted was Launchpad's costume: not only its a direct reference to Jason from Friday 13th, but it's also a nod towards the Mighty Ducks cartoon of the late 90's.
I love that Mrs Beakley's costume was Darkwing Duck though I'm surprised the monsters weren't confirmed members of the Macawbre family.
Like the slime monster intern that only appears for a few seconds could be Cousin Globby and the witch could be Aunt Nasty. The last 3 are oddly what Moloculo turned Darkwing, Gosalyn, and Launchpad into (werewolf, Frankenstein's monster, and vampire).
Speaking of whom, I wonder if Morgana will appear in this series at all; considering the upcoming episode is a Darkwing one
@@sadlobster1 I doubt she'll appear in Let's Get Dangerous mostly because its already introducing 6 characters from the original Darkwing show, but if Ducktales got another Halloween episode or Darkwing Duck got reboot, I bet she will.
So Launchpads parents or guardian never bother to tell him what Halloween really was?
With Launchpad wearing the duck hockey mask, I really hope that means The Mighty Ducks will make an appearance. Hell, there was a recent comic book called The Mighty Ducks of Duckburg, where the kids form a hockey team. And on top of THAT, Gosalyn from the original Darkwing Duck was ALSO a hockey player.
I'm genuinely surprised they never got around to that. I mean, the show made a reference to *Bonkers,* which is to Disney TV what *The Black Cauldron* is to their movie line up and that one cartoon about magical puppies that aired in 1984, but not the Mighty Ducks?
I like how Hazel House is named after Witch Hazel. There are many witches who go by Hazel, but the Disney Witch Hazel had one appearance in a Donald Duck cartoon helping Huey, Dewey, and Louie get candy from Donald.
I also kinda wished that Louie made a better impression of Huey like in GlomTales.
Ah, I forgot to mention that! He has a Huey voice for schemes and a Huey voice for teasing his brother
Hazel was the name of the witch from that one Carl Barks halloween comic (there is animation for it too, I'm not sure which came first), so the name of the haunted house is reference to that too.
I think Launchpad’s flashback & thinking Halloween is some monster curse he unleashed is supposed to be a reference to the film Ash vs the Evil Dead
Hazel House is named after Witch Hazel from the Donald short Trick or Treat
When you said you'd make these videos faster, you weren't kidding
Launchpad's sideplot was pretty similar to the basic premise of The Evil Dead
He entered an unfamiliar setting that contained an old, decrepit building, read some "ancient text", set a "curse" that unleashed monsters onto the world, and takes it upon himself to get rid of them
I finally found a new show that didn’t end right when I joined the community!
Dewy: what?
Huey and Louie: DUCK-TALES!
Halloween is also a time for scary movies both modern and classic. And on that note, I feel confident to declare that I kind of picture Peter Cushing as a human version of Uncle Scrooge, albeit with a more Scottish brogue to his voice.
Sure it’s a bit unbelievable that Launchpad wasn’t corrected about Halloween but I also get the distinct feeling Launchpad’s upbringing is more complicated than the show is yet to reveal they might even never outright say what his childhood was like but we know basically nothing about his past and some of his traits in the show seem to slightly be implied to be the result of childhood coupling mechanisms but that’s probably me reading to deep into things.
Yeah it really sucks around here where I'm at apparently there's actually a law that keeps kids from 16 and up from a tree participating in trick-or-treating really sucks
The witch in this cartoon, according to the end credits, is named Witch Hazel (Also the name of the witch in the 1952 Donald Duck cartoon, Trick or Treat), and she's voiced by The Exorcist's Selma Blair.
I lost my *#@& when Launchpad stuffed Scrooge in his bag and swung him around like Jason did to that one camper in a sleeping bag.
SO MANY HORROR REFERENCES!!!
You really want to be on time for dark wing duck
Oh yeah. And being behind perpetually just wasn't fun so I needed to catch up
I have gave away candy during Halloween at my sister's houses for at least 5 years, maybe more.
Possible Haunted Mansion references: The Corridor of Doors and the Punny Tombstones.
Also, I can't help feeling I've heard the "Old Man McDuck is giving out full candy bars" line somewhere. Like it's a callback to a commercial or movie line.
Also Frank's new profile pic on twitter is adorable
I live in Britain and never went trick or treating on Halloween, it was kind of looked down on as something "alien" because it's more an American thing. But I think I understand its special place in some people's childhoods through cultural osmosis and I'm a mum now, so hopefully maybe I can get some long overdue Halloween fun through Halloween parties.
I went trick-or-treating until I was 15 years old then during my high school years, I'd run a little haunt in the front yard with inviting over friends to help scare the trick-or-treaters because when I was a kid, I loved getting scared on Halloween & aside from one actual scare I still can't explain & this one time a teenager hiding under his porch scared us, I hadn't had much of that so I wanted to run a haunt for the kiddos to remember for years. By the way, I can tell the story of the scare I still can't explain, it's somewhat of a fun story.
The place I grew up in was this cul-de-sac that's apart of a neighborhood with a line of 4 cul-de-sacs all up hills & it was kind of a thing to try our best to trick-or-treat in all 4 but everyone in our own little cul-de-sac didn't know the other ones well since we only visited them on Halloween but we knew some of the kids that lived on them since they had the same bus stop as us & went to the same school but not knowing the streets as well made it seem creepier. In my particular group from my cul-de-sac, I was the oldest one so I was the tallest & in charge of the group when we went out, I was also the only one tall enough to look through door windows at the time of the story.
We got to a house on the 2nd cul-de-sac down, we're those losers who lived on the 4th one which is farthest from the bus stop sad to say, some of us such as myself since my parents' house backed to the third cul-de-sac knew a bit about the third so that one wasn't as strange, the scarier territory was definitely the second & I don't think any of us knew anyone in particular who lived on this street so we had no one to ask about this later. We reached a house that did indeed have their porch light on but no Halloween decorations or anything & nobody was approaching the house. Of course, we decided to because candy so we get up there & knock, there's nothing. We knock again, nothing so we rang the doorbell & still nothing, Eventually, I stood up & looked in through the window since I was the only one who could do so & the house inside looks very dark & empty, all I could see was darkness & a staircase to the right so I figured maybe nobody was home or they were all asleep & forgot to turn off their porch light. Just before I was going to step down & tell the kids what I saw, out of nowhere there's this face of an elderly woman looking out at me through the window & she vanished almost as quickly as she appeared. I screamed & ran down the driveway. I told the kids what I saw & they agreed to get far away from there.
That's probably the biggest scare I ever had myself on Halloween as a kid but I always wanted more of an adventure. It's odd, either I'm the person scaring or I'm the one who encounters the thing that started my neighborhood urban legends like in September 2007, I was just a few weeks away from turning 16 so a teenager at the time, I encountered some spirit or something in the park near our neighborhood, still don't know what the heck it was but it was glowing, white, & animal shape. My friend who was with me saw it too, we made the mistake of staying in the park after sunset & we decided NEVER to do that again after the experience we had, I told everyone I knew about the whole thing after it happened. Dunno if that one is making it into the urban legend books for my neighborhood or not but hey, I seem to be the one that ends up starting them. I always wanted to be the one to hear a story then go investigate it myself like it's cool being the first one to encounter it & everything but dang, I love hearing urban legends then trying to either debunk them or find out there might be more truth to the story than I would of expected.
Watching the Halloween episode of Ducktales did remind me of why I love Halloween so much & I have had some amazing Halloweens in my adulthood so I'm not complaining, I've brought my love for Halloween into the workplace like when I worked as an event organizer, I'd take over hosting most of the October events such as going to haunted houses, doing corn mazes, & one of my favorites that we did in 2013 was when I hosted a meetup in a haunted pizza place & yes, we have one of those where I live & I'm not talking commercial haunt either, I'm talking actually haunted. If you must know, it has some relation to the Shanghai tunnels but that's all you're getting from me. We got our own area on the second floor of the restaurant & we told scary stories, it was a blast. When I got a job working at a after school center, during one October, the kids asked me to tell them a scary story so I told the one about what happened when I was trick-or-treating with the neighborhood kids & I saw the creepy old lady & from there, it became tradition for me to tell scary stories to the kids every October but I did cheese them just a tad for the younger kids. I love talking & telling scary stories if you couldn't tell, I say jokingly because that much is obvious.
Halloween doesn't stop when you grow up, it just morphs into something different. It's about how you choose to spend your Halloween that makes it special so I did definitely feel for this. I always try to find ways to spice up my Halloween every year except this one, I'm in the middle of moving, I move into a new apartment on November 1st so I will sadly be spending my Halloween at my aunt's house & due to current events, I can't go out to haunted attractions or anything, even the ones that are open because I don't want to put anyone in danger. This is a bit of a non-Halloween which sucks but that's another reason to love this episode of Ducktales, it delivered a little Halloween to me when I can't go seek it myself. It makes me so happy to see.
@seaniccus Easy on the reviews. Your going through them at lightspeed. The reviews are great but don't burn yourself out.
Hey I just want to say love you getting on these recent episodes fast! Your content is genuine & pure to ducktales. Gives me alot of knowledge to share with my niece who is a super ducktales fan!!! Again thanks what you do and I'll be staying tune for the next one!!!!!!!!!
This may be the last time that trick-or-treating is shown with such vigor considering how it's going out of style as the years go on.
The character Witch Hazel might be based on the witch of the same name from the Donald Duck short Trick Or Treat.
They kind of missed what could have been a neat gag here if they'd gotten Catherine Tate to voice Hazel, just like June Foray voiced both Hazel and then Magica decades later.
Having her crawling out of the well "Ring" style I was sorta wishing they had snagged Daveigh Chase (Samara). Disney would have her on the rolodex from voicing Lilo...
i love the bit where scrooge waltzes offscreen at the beginning, i need a gif of that
I lost count of all the horror movie references in this episode.
Hazel House was a reference to Witch Hazel from the Trick or Treat short.
It’s actually funny, all the monsters we currently seen are really odd ones; an ghost pirate captain, an magical blade, an gold eating dragon etc...
Halloween was and still is my favorite time of the year. It was definitely more fun as a kid though.
I think we all have tried checking out a supposedly haunted house when we were kids. At least *I* did.
Edit: _Then again,_ I don't think it was my idea to do that.
Edit 2: _Decades_ of candy? I am thoroughly *disgusted,* _go on._
Edit 3: *"Traumatized in the most wholesome way possible."*
The slime monster behind the door got me thinking of Uno from the Italian PKNA Paperinik/Duck Avenger comic.
💙 I love your show, man! You're one of the few that I actually have wronged the bell for. I appreciate all the hard work you've put into keeping up with current episodes and I hope It's worth it for you! Looking forward to any and all duck universe/animation related content from you! is there anyone else like you I should be following, as well?
Three days of reviews in row?! Nice! I can tell you can't wait to review let's get dangerous
I love your costume Seaniccus!
So we won't talk about launchpad crashing his tricicle as a kid?
Nice review. Love your jumpsuit by the way.
FUN FACT: In production order, this is actually the FIRST episode of Season 3.
