I always loved the Mystery intro as a kid and was always disappointed it wasn't longer. These are excellent finds, and remind me all the more why Halloween was always my favorite holiday, and The Haunted Mansion my favorite Disneyland attraction. BTW- totally agree about Watership Down. Totally unnerving! Thanks so much for this! I always loved the Mystery intro as a kid and was always disappointed it wasn’t longer.

The Cat came Back was one of the creepiest things ever. That song gets stuck in my head for days. and John, Watership Down was super creepy. I just rewatched it for the first time since childhood, and was still totally freaked out! (and I'm 23!) Sheya, I totally agree. The Cat came Back was one of the creepiest things ever.

I was born in 89 but somehow I got a hold of the whole Bellairs series and those were my favorite books to read, along with my giant Edgar Allen Poe collection. That's really cool, I didn't know if anyone else had read those books. I didn’t realize those books were so old!
