Tom & Jerry Halloween Special

"Tom & Jerry Halloween Special" is a 1990 animated/live action television special that aired in primetime on TBS. This holiday special was a spin-off of a programming block entitled "Tom and Jerry's Funhouse on TBS." The Halloween Special's wraparounds were live action segments hosted by Josh Jarboe and Audra Lee, two youths dressed in various Halloween costumes. The hosts appeared in a haunted house where they would introduce the show's animated shorts, tell Halloween-related jokes, scare each other, give trick-or-treating safety tips, and told stories related to the history of All Hallow's Eve. The animated segments included shorts starring Tom and Jerry, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Bugs Bunny and Popeye. The primetime special only aired once in October 1990.
