I'm sure that a compilation about the greatest villains would be a good seller these days, and now with the amazing restorations they can produce it would be much better. It would be a great seller around Halloween!!
I would buy that in a second if Disney ever issued it to dvd!
It was called Halloween Haunts I believe and narrated by a creepy stop-motion pumpkin character who presented and introduced all the principle villains through 4 minute short film clips showcasing some of the most memorable moments from classic Disney movies with a haunting voiceover commentary track. The special opened with the wizard's duel segment from Sword In The Stone followed by clips from the evil witch's death atop the mountain in Snow White, the car chase scene from 101 Dalmations, the Siamese cats doing their wonderful musical number from Lady & The Tramp, Captain Hook as "public enemy number one" delivering Peter Pan's explosive birthday gift and most notably, the nightmarish sequence from Night On Bald Mountain.
I don't understand why Disney hasn't thought to revisit these older video specials on dvd, the holiday themed compilation programs would be huge sellers around Halloween and Christmas time and I would be first in line to pre-order every single one!
