What we thought: Wow, this was a fun video. It's an oldie, but goodie. I had never seen or heard of it before. My son and I both enjoyed watching it together. There is something about these old animated movies that is fun and nothing like things we have now. They have more character to them or something. I think this is a great Halloween cartoon that you and your whole family will enjoy together.

Where to buy: You can get Mad Monster Party Blu-ray Combo Pack in stores and online now.
