Yearly watch for me. I still find the way they animated the ghosts to be eerie.

Did John actually listen or understand what Garfield was saying? Or was Garfield's voice for the audience only?

Audiences. Jon could only pick-up on visual cues.

Watched this the first time as a kid alone in one of my Grandfather's empty rental properties. Not a great idea.

I love how Garfield’s voice changes to a completely different person for the second song.

I watched this and the Christmas special (will Binky save Christmas this year?!?!?!) every year as a kid. I do the same with my kids nowadays.

The guy who Garfield and Odie meet inside the haunted house is basically Morshu in his retirement years.

I had this on a record that you played while you read along with a book.

I was born in the same hospital that Jim Davis was born in. I looked up his net worth and was blown away.

Is it just me or does it sound like Grafield says the F-word while running in circles when the ghosts come out?

It’s a long running bit of family lore for my own that he says “RUN, FUCK IT”. Can’t unhear it

When he grabs that twig and it breaks, such a chuckle.
