Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktakular

The ThawedCast: Conversations About Animation

Alex, Heather and Philip review the 2003 animated TV special, 'Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktakular' from Mainframe Entertainment. The Canadian studio behind classic kids' shows like 'ReBoot' and 'Beast Wars' obtained the TV rights to Jill Thompson's 'Scary Godmother' book series in the late nineties. They eventually produced two hour-long TV specials that aired in the United States on Cartoon Network. The first 'Scary Godmother' follows a group of five kids on Halloween; one of whom is the young cousin of the mischievous Jimmy. Jimmy concocts a plan to scare his cousin Hannah so that she'll agree to stay home while the older kids stay out. She is deathly scared of monsters, so they stage a monster encounter in an abandoned house. Hannah is rescued and brought to the "Fright Side" by Scary Godmother, a kindly witch who watches over children on Halloween. Hannah learns to overcome her fears and even has a chance to get back at her pranksters with some real spooky magic.
