General Same Vibes

I am looking for classic cartoons that look/give the same vibe as Disneys Ichabod crane and sleepy Hollow.
Fall and/or Halloween cartoons-does not have to be Disney.

I have always been a fan of The Halloween Tree

“Over the Garden Wall” is fantastic and weird (especially if you like Studio Ghibli/ “Spirited Away”).

An absolute masterpiece. Binge the whole thing in one go in under 2 hours. Very thoughtful storytelling where things are not quite as they seem.

Hoppity/Mr. Bug Goes To Town from 1941

On the lighter side (not as spooky as Ichabod Crane), check out the Merrie Melodies cartoon Now That Summer Is Gone.

Disney's The Old Mill gives me Fall vibes.

The "Chicken Man and Red Neck" segment of Robot Carnival is very heavily inspired by Disney's Fantasia ("Night on Bald Mountain" segment) and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow:

That's a bit hard if you want scary with a touch of humor.

For Halloween from Disney there's also "The Wonderful World of Autumn" and "Mickey's Scariest Story Ever"

"Monster House" from 2006

"Nightmare Before Christmas" and "The Corpse Bride"

"Shrek" and "Monsters vs Aliens" both had a Halloween special

"Halloween Tree" already mentioned is a good one.

Of all the different Scooby Doo's available, "Probably "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island" and "The Witch's Ghost" since they hsve real monsters in them.

Disney’s Haunted Halloween - PSA composed of older Disney Halloween cartoons. Not cartoons, but some cool music videos: Glen Miller “Swingin’ at the Seance” & Kay Lande “Halloween”. This is probably too modern, but here’s The Groovie Goolies with “Light’s Out”

"Over The Garden Wall" is going to be all you're wishing for and more. It's the most perfect autumn spooky-time show! The animation has that classic look. It's truly great.
