If The Legend of Sleepy Hollow hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: halloween

Clyde Geronimi working the same nerve twice
The difference: Lighter on wit

Common ground: halloween

The same preoccupation in both: short film
The difference: Leans further into music

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: 36 years apart, and the 1980s show

The same mix in both: wit, then play
The difference: Played as drama first

Horror built on dread, twice over
The difference: Less witty, more its own thing

Unsettling comedy in both cases

Dread-soaked family, and it commits to that


Both lean on wit more than on horror

The horror is handled with the same confidence
In the mood for more dread?
