Watched the old Looney Tunes short, The Case of the Stuttering Pig on DVD this morning. This was one of my favorite Warner Brothers cartoons as a kid. I found it creepy and scary although kids these days would probably roll their eyes at it.
Although not specifically Halloween themed the plot involves Porky and his siblings holed up in their house on a dark and stormy night with no parental figure to be found. The animation and music are well done and add to the eerie flavor of this animated short. I found the antagonist to be menacing and foreboding as a kid.
As a kid I these old Warner Brothers shorts were shown on TV on the old Clancy and Willie show on WCCO-TV, Channel 4, on weekday mornings and Sunday mornings as well when I'd watch them before school or church. I also remember them on KMSP, Channel 9, before school when I'd watch them eating my Cheerios.
